"Ekso(TM) Labs Secures Third Contract With the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for Upper Extremity TALOS Project"
http://ir.eksobionics.com/press-releases/detail/548/eksotm-labs-secures-third-contract-with-the-u-s-special
So they've had at least 3 contracts, with the third contract being an upper extremity exoskeleton contract. So probably safe to assume they are fairly instrumental.
A little bit of history research will tell you that Ekso Bionics is now located at the old 'Richmond Tank Depot' location.
"The Ford Richmond Plant, formally the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant, in Richmond, California, was the largest assembly plant to be built on the West Coast[2] and its conversion to wartime production during World War II aided the United States' war effort."
Not only that, but also the building had a significant impact in creating the military industrial complex as we know it:
"To ensure that America prepared for total war by mobilizing all the industrial might of the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt banned the production of civilian automobiles during World War II. The Richmond Ford Assembly Plant switched to assembling jeeps and to putting the finishing touches on tanks, half-tracked armored personnel carriers, armored cars and other military vehicles destined for the Pacific Theater. By July 1942, military combat vehicles began flowing into the Richmond Ford plant to get final processing before being transported out the deep-water channel to the war zones. The "Richmond Tank Depot" (only one of three tank depots in the country[3]) as the Ford plant was then called, helped keep American fighting men supplied with up-to-the-minute improvements in their battle equipment. Approximately 49,000 jeeps were assembled and 91,000 other military vehicles were processed here.[3]
In mobilizing the wartime production effort to its full potential, Federal military authorities and private industry began to work closely together on a scale never seen before in American history. This laid the groundwork for what became known as the "military-industrial complex" during the Cold War years.[2] This Assembly Plant was one cog in the mobilization of the "Arsenal of Democracy" and a historic part of what is today's industrial culture of the United States."
