An easy-to-use exoskeleton that could cut down or even eliminate soldier back injuries.
An artificial intelligence-enabled radio that finds the right frequency spectrum for clear communications, data transfer and deters incessant enemy jamming.
These are just two projects the Army hopes will see real progress as they team soldiers with university researchers, scientists and dedicated teams of developers in a new Army program dubbed, “Catalyst-Pathfinder.”
Dr. Arwen DeCostanza, with the Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command, manages the program that has already paired soldiers from units in the XVIII Airborne Corps out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with researchers affiliated with Vanderbilt University.
