SOCOM buys exoskeletons

The future is now! That's what SOCOM must have thought and quickly buys a prototype from the US robot manufacturer Sarcos. What they want to use this very futuristic-looking frame for has not been announced yet. There are probably several applications, considering that this exoskeleton can easily lift 90 kg. So: Pizza for the whole company. The mentioned exoskeleton is called Guardian XO and somewhat resembles the film Aliens 2, where Ripley defeats the Alien Queen. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you should definitely watch it. The Guardian XO is powered by interchangeable rechargeable batteries that can last up to eight hours. We would also think of battle mechs as a final option, but no one asked us.
