Researchers Develop 'Third Arm' for Soldiers on the BattlefieldBy Jason Devaney, Wednesday, 15 Mar 2017 10:36 PM Researchers have come up with a device called the Third Arm that will help soldiers carry their weapons. The Third Arm, according to Defense News, wraps around one side of a soldier's waist and attaches to his tactical pack. An extension in front attaches to a weapon. The thought behind the device, which was on display this week at the Association of the U.S. Army Global Force Symposium, is to lighten the load on a soldier's arms and shoulders and distribute the weapon's weight more evenly. The Third Arm exoskeleton will "increase soldier lethality, while reducing soldier burden," mechanical engineer Zac Wingard told Defense News. www.newsmax.com/US/third-arm-battlefield-soldiers-military/2017/03/15/id/778969/
