The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the topic "Exoskeleton Augmentation for Flightline and Airfield Operations" as part of its SBIR 24.2 Annual solicitation. The Air Force branch is specifically interested in this topic. The objective is to develop longitudinal data that demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of an exoskeleton system for airmen performing airfield and flightline operations. These operations often result in musculoskeletal injuries, which can limit personnel staffing and retention. The goal is to develop wearable exoskeletons that can offload a percentage of the load on airmen, augment their strength and stamina, and reduce the risk of injury. The exoskeletons should be able to operate in austere environments and meet various end-user capability requirements. The project will be conducted in two phases, with Phase II focusing on developing and testing the exoskeleton system. The project duration and funding specifics are not provided in the document. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the provided links.
