A recent US Army exercise showcased a four-legged robot dog equipped with an AI-enabled rifle designed to counter drones. This demonstration was part of 'Operation Hard Kill,' aimed at testing various counter-drone technologies. The robot dog, developed by industry partners, highlights the Pentagon's commitment to advancing drone and counter-drone capabilities rapidly.
The robot dog, known as Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 Q-UGV, features a turret-mounted rifle and a targeting system, showcasing the integration of AI for automated targeting. This exercise reflects the urgent need for effective drone technologies, especially in light of the ongoing drone warfare in Ukraine. The development of such systems is not unique to the US, as other countries like Russia and China are also exploring similar robotic technologies.
