Abstract
The article provides a brief analysis of the existing scientific and technical groundwork created by Russian and for-eign experts in the field of development of exoskeletal structures for military purposes. It proposes a list of the main tactical and technical requirements for active exoskeletons of the assault type based on the results of the analysis, taking into account the main directions for improving of the combat equipment of military personnel.

Key words
Tactical and technical requirements for exoskeletal structures; combat equipment of military personnel; active exo-skeleton of assault type; passive exoskeleton; explosive exoskeleton; rigging exoskeleton; medical exoskeleton.
