A British Commando from 16 Air Assault Brigade (16X) is crouching in a wooded area in the
English countryside operating one of two newly purchased GhostRobotics Vision 60 ‘Robotic Dogs’
these are officially described as a quadruped uncrewed ground vehicle (QUGV).
The soldiers from 16X are the first Robotic and Autonomous System (RAS) enhanced Brigade.
They are tasked with developing training systems and expanding
the Robot dogs potential capabilitys as part of its new role in order to better
understand how to use the equipment with a view of keeping troops out of danger,
especially when encountering dangerous and complex urban environments,
and in extreme and complex terrain.
The 51kg Robotic Dog has been delivered to a number of armed forces around the world
including military focused security firms for evaluation.
It has a runtime of 3hrs and has an operational range of 10 kilometres
and a top speed of 5.6km/h and can carry a payload of 10kg.
It is envisaged the Robot Dogs can enable troops to operate faster and longer,
and step back from some of the most challenging and dangerous operational tasks.
The GhostRobotics V60 is currently the only Robotic Dog capabale of weaponisation, as seen
here built with a "special purpose unmanned rifle" . This opens up many new applications
for this practically unstoppable waterproof all terrain machine, including anti-terror operations,
battlefield defensive and offensive operations and even sniping missions. The British Army have
not at this time released any details for any plans to weaponise their "Robot Dogs"
