So it would seem. From the pages of Paleofuture, the US military did in fact approach Walt Disney with a request to help develop a powered exoskeleton with very specific capabilities.
The Navy sent a request for proposals to Disney in hopes that he could produce a complex device to be worn by a man that would enable him to lift 1500 pounds to a height of six feet and carry that load twenty-five feet in ten seconds. Very ambitious even by today's standards.
Disney however had very little interest in the project.
