SAN ANTONIO — American Warfighter can easily lift up to 200 pounds and significantly reduce knee and back injuries with emerging technology on display this week in the Army Strong Zone at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

The Human Universal Load Carriage, called HULC, is an anthropomorphic exoskeleton developed by Lockheed Martin in coordination with the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, a research element of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.
