Army.mil. (2018, May 29). Army researchers envision third arm for Soldiers. Retrieved from https://www.arl.army.mil/www/default.cfm?article=3234
Soldiers used the exoskeleton to carry a 27-pound M240B machine gun in tests. The arm helps stabilize weapons, so the troops were in a better firing position after running or diving into position.
