War is more of a constant panic attack than ever these days 'Did that drone see me? I bet it saw me, do I have any cover at all? Aw shit, I can hear the incoming already, run. OH FUCK, TECHNODOGS, RUN FASTER'
Just assume the sky is a thermal camera and act accordingly. You are under enemy surveillance at all times, and you need good IR clothing to stand a chance of going undetected in the open. I'd personally use drones only from a safe location with multiple launch spots. Heck, automate carrying the drones out to launch spots with other land based drones, so human flesh isn't ever presented as a viable target to the enemy. That's the future, no more tanks with human crew, everything will be anti drone defences, human safety measures, whilst offense will powerful drones in large quantities. Any human army that has to fight what drones are fast becoming, will stand no chance at all. You'd either need some form of electromagnetic weaponry, or drones of your own.
Or because of all the hitech and observation war cannot be a viable option anymore . Maybe this is the start of a new human evolution we have all been looking for ? Or we all just end up crispy critters 😂
@@dougaltolan3017 IR and thermal can't generally penetrate hardened structures, and the ones light enough to be carried by drones certainly aren't powerful enough to do so.
The social media response to these have been kinda funny. In an environment where quadcopters and loitering munitions are bombing trench lines, naval drones are sinking cruisers, and UGVs are laying minefields, a robot dog tripping over some underbrush is LITERALLY TERMINATOR/BLACK MIRROR/CYBERPUNK DYSTOPIA/WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
What should have you absolutely terrified is when it gets to the point that it can move effortlessly through such undergrowth, with agility and grace...then we (the meat) are truly screwed.
@WebShaman01 And by then UAVs will be even faster, smaller and more accurate. Microbots the size of baseballs or even insects flying around, coordinated swarm intelligences, rolling mines zipping across fields, etc. Robots with legs, be they 2 or 4, will always be the lesser of the scary drones out there.
@@chaosfire321 Robot dogs can be a lot more quiet than a flying drone. That's what makes it scary to me. A flying drone will always face bigger fundamental challenges regarding things like noise and energy density (smaller payloads because flying requires more energy, and the more fuel/batteries you put into something, the more it weighs).
My guess is they will only unlock their true potential in combination with at least partial autonomy. The fact that they are ground based combined with enemy EW and the relative slow speed forces the operator to stay pretty close, compared to flying drones.
They already have partial autonomy. With the remote you only tell it to go forward, back, left or right, but it's the robot that then decides what steps it should take to go in that direction without tripping, falling down a stair or loosing balance constantly. And if it happens to fall it can right itself on its own.
The russians already tried that shit in berdyche 5 or 6 months ago. Tracked small robots with LMGs, they got blown up by FPVs quickly and infantry did the real work. Pretty useless.

Consider this: In times of relative peace, the militaries will develop new systems relatively slowly, and will maybe still consider concerns over things like "AI-warfare", but in times of war such concerns will be thrown out of the window, as all sides will put everything into finding innovations that give them an edge on the battlefield.

Military robot dogs are also very limited because it use legs instead of wheels. There are wheeled legs robots that where created to solve those limitations, but no army are developing it.

It is twice now that Battlefield 2042 has correctly predicted future warfare: First the Sig Spear gets adopted as the XM5, now we see the Boston Dynamics robot dogs (or clones thereof) see true combat fielding.
The xm7 had already been adopted by the time Battlefield 2042 came out and Boston dynamics has been openly seeking out military contracts for their robots for over 10 years now. It's only recently that with some of their smaller robots like this robot dog that they've been looking into the commercial market.

And Textron had no chance at all
Can we make really cheap versions that just carry like a 5-10kg HE charge absolutely loaded with frag and a shrapnel sleeve. Would be useful for walking into enemy trenches and dugouts or buildings with much more accuracy than an FPV, Especially at night when it's both harder to fly and harder to spot incoming drone dogs. That would also helo get around EW that is generally aimed at the horizon and above. Also automated 'home on jam' kamakaze drones would be extremely useful, though I don't know how expensive or lightweight those systems are.
It's a two-edged sword. The fact that they are low to the ground also means the operater must be a lot closer, especially in woodland and uneven terrain.
@@B.D.E. these doggos still just have a 16 mile range under laboratory conditions. Cut that in half if you want it back, cut even more if you add payload or want it to crarry out a mission in the target area. They might get more capable over time, but at the moment i can only see some very nieche aplications for these doggos, for example very short range recon or logistical support in highly contested battlespaces.
The most expensive portion is the LiDAR. You could replace the LiDAR with a stereo (3D) camera and dramatically reduce the cost (you can get a good 3D camera for around $300USD). You can buy all the stepper motors of of sites like AliBaba or Octopart super cheap. The battery is just regular Lithium cells (you could use an eBike/scooter or even EV car version). Then, the second most expensive part is a computer that can process the Point Cloud from the 3D imaging (either LiDar or stereo cam). A decent small dev board with an Intel/AMD processor (or better something like a dev board with an lowend nVIDIA GPU) would work. You can get those for $200USD to $400USD. As for the robot body etc, that is just basic machining of Aluminum or Steel stock. It would be helpful to have a decent GPS/GLONASS receiver, but not absolutely necessary. If you didn't have to pay for labor or software licenses, you could probably build one for about $600USD - $700USD, especially if you were doing large quantities.
This mirrors previous weaponry development Air and naval vehicle weapon systems were developed to maturity before ground based vehicle weapon systems. IDF had some clips of robot dogs with M4's and 100 round beta C mags mounted in tunnel operation.
Just a decade ago, the USMC rejected the large Alpha dog from Boston Dynamics as a “squad” mule. While Spot, a smaller version was made, this Chinese copy is now showing it can be used more as a scout.
If battery life allowed and it could move slowly enough and be quiet enough, I could imagine a camouflaged dog move up on an enemy position by moving just slowly enough that you don't notice any movement, and then get into a perfect position to observe to help plan for an attack.
An RPG or gun mount would synergize better with a robot dog than a drone since it's a more stable mount. Robots are really necessary for fighting an enemy in buildings or entrenched in tunnels where drones are just impractical.
I wonder what potential these dogs have for de-mining purposes? Like could you just send 50 specilized demining dogs to clear a path through a minefield instead of sending a MICLIC vehicle?
You could just automate one of the pre existing mine clearing devices and it’d be cheaper than these robots. I believe each one is 60k but that was 2 years ago. So 3,000,000 VS 83,000 (For the M58 MICLIC).

Literally that one Black Mirror episode it’s just not quite there yet. But i won’t be surprised if it advances faster, War usually does that to our technology
These seem like they could be used by small supporting elements of an assault squad in certain terrain. They could resupply ammo, grenades and medical equipment between pinned down squad elements during an active battle. Just have it follow you/carry it with you and when needed you can send a pack of grenades to the guys clearing trenches, or send extra bandages, blood and tourniqets to a medic that is taking care of several wounded men.
One of these walked past me at a tech show, my eyes were saying how awesome is that, my brain was saying imagine that with a mini gun mounted to it. No thank you
It’s just like tanks in ww1 they are weak and only had background purposes at first, but they will be developed to the point of being in the front lines
Would be awesome cool if you could make a drone /boat You could have it sitting on the water near the perimeter and when the boat comes close you can fly into the ship
Wait until they unleash the Cheetah and Mule. The mule hauls gear. The Cheetah Can hunt soldiers down. Whatever happened to the Marine corps drone with two M16s? They must have worked the bugs out of it by now. No more BRRRR - FREEZE!
Ukraine can use the dogs primarily for surveillance, but they could enhance them with a 15 pound block of C4 that can be triggered in the event of capture by the enemy.
Tactical recon is IMO the most likely role these dogs, at least at first. That could be both out of sight of accompanying (human) infantry or under cover of friendly weapons. I can imagine russian troops hiding or leaving if they see one of these bots due to ukrainians providing covering fire for their dog. There have apparently been cases in Iraq of US troops showing up at a repair depot with a box, asking if their shot up packbot the packbot is fixable. The US troops appreciated the packbots' taking hostile fire and provided (accurate) covering fire. In terms of explosives, one thing that could be added is a powered mount (pan/tilt) with a camera and an explosively formed projectile warhead. This would turn the dog into a mobile command detonated off route antivehicle mine as long as the battery holds out.
Skynet's gonna have PTSD after fighting so much in Ukraine.

No indication of that yet but it's early days
Can these dogs be expected to cooperate with names like BAD-1 and BAD-2? Usually, it's best to tell them they're a "Good boy!"
Tactical recon is IMO the most likely role these dogs, at least at first. That could be both out of sight of accompanying (human) infantry or under cover of friendly weapons. I can imagine russian troops hiding or leaving if they see one of these bots due to ukrainians providing covering fire for their dog. There have apparently been cases in Iraq of US troops showing up at a repair depot with a box, asking if their shot up packbot the packbot is fixable. The US troops appreciated the packbots' taking hostile fire and provided (accurate) covering fire.
In terms of explosives, one thing that could be added is a powered mount (pan/tilt) with a camera and an explosively formed projectile warhead. This would turn the dog into a mobile command detonated off route antivehicle mine as long as the battery holds out.
If there was a way to Charge the battery in gas mode that would be cool
What a great civilisation,,,
Black Mirror "Metalhead" is becoming reality
Strange, they did call it "drone dogs".
Perhaps they will down the line
Imagine a 4 propeller drone Attached over a gas powered race car and it could change From AIR to land❤ It can carry a explosive
The AZOV fighters in Melitopal really needed these dogs to bring in Medical and food supplies two years ago
