Exoskeleton Sensing and Control Suite / Suit Military System or Acquisition Program

Develop a suite or "application" of sensors suitable for human intent recognition, full operator pose tracking and ground contact force interactions in dynamic environments. Redundancy in design allows for tracking in the event of single sensor failure and limited functionality in the event of modal sensor failure. Limited calibration should be needed for use. Sensor "application" or suite should be integrated into a textile base layer suit similar to Physiological Status Monitor Applications. Notional approaches of interest include EMG, IMU and pressure sensors. Mature technology solutions are desired that can satisfy this requirement for $1 million or less.
