The Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) is designed to help soldiers carry large amounts of equipment with little effort.  A soldier can carry 200 pounds without trouble as the HULC transfers the weight to the ground from battery powered titanium legs.  The HULC also gives all the mobility the soldier would need by allowing him to to do deep squats, crawling, and upper body lifting.  LM also plans to have certain upgrades to improve operational effectiveness depending on what is needed. All I have to say is…WHEN CAN I GET ONE OF THESE!?
