Robot Dogs with AI Weapons Undergo Testing by US Marines

The US Marine Forces Special Operations Command recently performed field tests with new unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). These four-legged robots, dubbed Vision 60 quadrupedal UGVs, were armed with AI-powered weapons. This represents a big step towards incorporating new technology into military operations.

Technical specifications and capabilities of weapons

The delivered Vision, 60 MULEs from Ghost Robotics, featured SENTRY remote weapon systems from Onyx Industries, a security specialist from Virginia. This platform incorporates AI-enhanced Digital Imaging Systems so that weapons can automatically distinguish targets. The last act to use these targets, though, still resides under the authority of a person. X360 Pan/Tilt Gimbal stack complements the restructure rifle by improving its optical capacity and infra-red capabilities. It tracks and analyzes entering individuals, vehicles, UAVs, etc.  The technology is tailor-made to achieve a safe and secure environment.

Strategy components and future vision 

Absorbing AI robotic weapons among the existing ones is regarded as a technological boost of strategic importance. Through these robotic dog applications, the safety of human soldiers could be dramatically enhanced, especially in dangerous missions.  For example,…Their design gives a possibility for them to fit and function in narrow places, including tunnels and trenches, while the classical armored machines can face a shortage of accessibility.

Eric Shell from Onyx Industries celebrated the groundbreaking results of these trials in his speech, highlighting that they were a huge leap to drone technologies for defense. The Chief Engineer stressed the importance of training and preventing further accidents while making operations more reliable. This progression follows the footprint of the US Army, which in the past already mentioned the intention to have such UGVs with them while using Next-Generation Squad Weapons.

The implications of AI in military operations

AI’s growing role in military plans increasingly reflect the transition of the defense force system worldwide. However, the military follows with the deploying of the robotics and AI to the warfare scenario in more safe and faster way. The prosecutions by the US Marine Forces Special Operation Command’s agents helps to take a step further, consolidating classical military methods with modern technology.
