Soldiers carrying out assault, casualty evacuation, ascent, patrol, and resupply missions are physically limited by what the human body can carry and sustain over time. The page frames this directly as "the human body is the bottleneck," suggesting that fatigue and load limits constrain how far, how fast, and how long troops can operate in the field. The site does not describe a specific prior solution soldiers use today, only that this physical limitation is the problem being addressed.

Edgerun has built a military exoskeleton that secures at the waist and integrates directly with gear soldiers already wear. Sensors read the wearer's gait and motors power each step, assisting movement under load. According to the company's internal test data, the system reduces effort per step by 30-45%, though third-party verification is described as underway. The entire system, including batteries, weighs 10 lb, runs 12+ hours on field-swappable drone batteries, and can be put on or taken off in about 5 seconds.
