Today, we are unveiling the first American super soldier, powered by Hippos soft-exoskeletons. 🇺🇸 Ukraine and the Middle East have made one thing clear: modern warfare is a war of readiness. Missiles get depleted after 3–7 days. Machines break with 30–50% non-mission-capable rates. And Humans do too. Injuries already cost the U.S. military 25 millions of lost duty days every year. America can't replenish a trained warfighter like it replenishes a missile. So we're enabling soldiers to sustain thousands of mission without physical breakdown. Hippos turns the undergarments warfighters already wear into an intelligent layer of the battlefield — using Edge AI and flexible electronics to continuously understand the body and feed high-fidelity somatic data back to commanders and flight surgeons. Our product delivers: 1. Continuous physiological intelligence — real-time, high-fidelity body data at the edge to identify fatigue, strain, and risk before failure occurs. 2. Operational readiness insights — actionable signals for commanders to adjust training, recovery, and deployment decisions before injury degrades mission capability. Eventually, 3). full-body soft robotic augmentation: integrated soft robotic systems that actively enhance and sustain human performance in the field. This is our roadmap to the super soldier. We also wanted to give an official welcome advisors and investors who joined us recently: Gen. Paul E. Funk II (Ret): 4-star U.S. Army Vice Admiral Raquel C. Bono: 3-star U.S. Navy Special thanks to Captain Marco Romani, ex-U.S. Navy, for telling this story with us, and for recently joining our cap table. To COL. Jason Wieman, ex-senior physician with the U.S. Army's 1st Special Forces Group, for his diligence and advice, and for joining our advisory team and cap table. For 250 years, America has made its machines smarter and stronger. It's time we did the same for the people operating them. To America's 250th. 🇺🇸
