Testing of the Robotic Canine | British Army

Animals have long been associated with the Army and in the 21st Century it is still the same, but is it?

Soldiers from 23 Parachute Engineer Regiment have been getting their hands on the new Quadruped Uncrewed Ground Vehicle.

The robotic canine, produced by Ghost Robotics will allow our soldiers to shape operations by providing better situational awareness and keeping soldiers safer on the battlefield.

The tests have enabled 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team to become the first brigade to be enhanced with Robotic and Autonomous Systems.

Find us on:

Soldiers cannot resist to pet the robot dog

You had one job humanity, don't give the robos the bang stick

[GeneralThargor]

I FOR ONE SUPPORT OUR NEW ROBOT DOG OVERLORDS!

[davey]

Can a lump hammer from the REME fix it I wonder?

[stantheman]

Airborne engineers with robot dogs, very good. Are they a new regiment A.E. ?

[discipleaj]

The fan on the front lol. Hope there is some filtration system for all the dirt and water that will get into that.

I still personally think stuff like drones would be better for stuff like doing recon on compounds as it’s not as loud where as the dog was very clunky and loud

[ruvaneh.friebus]

Check the camouflage people they stick out like a sore thumb

[-Kaje]

Army: -10k troops
Also Army: look funny dog haha

[davey]

Will they come under the RAVC at Melton Mowbray though? 🤣

[Deadbread]

Make a vault lock on the belly of it and it will have capabilities of packing c4

[ypnzbsq]

Did they finally teach it to open a door?

[ashleystyles]

Ready to fight against us I see. Good luck.

Sick of seeing soldiers not knowing how to mold their berets correctly and wearing it like an absolute melt.

[matthewbaynham]

Looks cool.

If the robot sets off an IED then it's better than if a human does.

Lets hope for the sake of the British tax payers, it has rechargeable batteries and not expensive single use batteries.

[epicman]

Cool but can soldiers not get a decent form of communication first

[cartermckechan]

It’s like the aliens from war of the worlds

[adyvandeplas]

So nobody watched any SCFI movies in the last 30 years!

[garynewington]

Put a weapon system on that, Remington shotgun and away you go. Goodbye bad guys

I’m no prophet but I see a spike in sales of 00 Buck.
