Lockheed Martin ONYX

Powered lower-limb military load-augmentation exoskeleton (electro-mechanical knee actuators, AI movement prediction; B-TEMIA dermoskeleton-licensed). Reduces soldier exertion under load. Honest status: development/evaluation under a US Army agreement (2018); no public deployment updates since ~2019 - not in general service.
