> “Our technology was created to support movement, not conflict,” Hypershell told Popular Science. “Hypershell exoskeletons are designed for civilian use, from outdoor recreation to mobility support and professional applications such as search and rescue. Hypershell does not market or sell our products for military use and we do not support or condone any military application of our technology.”

That's a really stupid way to reject free advertisement. If UA picked them of all exoskeleton providers, that's decent signal. If it passes the pilot program and gets into regular use, even in a niche, that's strong signal. Either way, I'd call them to offer support, not hint that they'll refuse to sell.

There might be legal or compliance reasons for them want to not be a weapons or military equipment providers, no?
