For soldiers, weight-bearing is always a big problem, because a person’s body has a limit. In the state of marching for a long time, the weight-bearing will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In order to solve this problem, the United States and Russia have begun to invest resources in the research and development of military exoskeleton, using machinery to improve the load-bearing capacity of individual soldiers, and Israel seems to want to find another way and develop an electric delivery system.

Wild Goose (wild goose) electric delivery system, a new product developed by Israel’s Marom Dolphin company. This company originally made bullet-proof vests. Maybe it wanted to expand the market, so it aimed at a good prospect. The individual soldiers carry this piece of heavy equipment, but they did not follow the trend of developing military exoskeleton, but changed their thinking and developed a simple delivery system.

The structure of the wild goose is actually very simple, the shape is a bit like a trolley, and there is a connecting device on the top that can be connected to the soldier's belt. With a built-in electric motor, all the soldiers have to do is to guide the direction and control the speed. The wild goose can move forward under the operation of the electric motor.

The main body of the wild goose is composed of aluminum alloy and polymer, which is light in weight and tough in structure. According to tests, it can operate normally in rugged terrain and bad weather, saving soldiers a lot of effort.

At present, Marom Dolphin has developed two delivery systems. One is a 2×2 version with a maximum load of 60 kg; the other is a 4×4 version with a maximum load of 120 kg. The latter can even be used. Used as a stretcher temporarily to help soldiers transport the wounded.

The motor has a cruising range of 20 kilometers, and the battery replacement is very convenient, ensuring that the delivery system can work for a long time.

The advantage of the wild goose delivery system is to liberate the soldier’s weight-bearing capacity. Most of the materials originally pressed on the back are transferred to the delivery system, which significantly improves the mobility.

On the other hand, the fixed device of the wild goose has a quick disassembly function. If it encounters an attack, the soldier can touch the connection between the carrier system and the belt at any time, release the load immediately, and restore the most flexible The fighting state will not be dragged down by weight.

Marom Dolphin refers to the wild goose carrier system as a "battlefield rule changer". Compared with exoskeleton, its structure and technological content are indeed much simpler, but simplicity is sometimes an advantage. When the exoskeleton was still in the experimental stage, the wild goose had been mass-produced and installed, thereby changing the soldier's weight and survivability.
