The technology for military defense advances and Ghost Robotics is one of the contributors
Ghost Robotics has released a version of a mechanical dog for military defense, with a sniper rifle, and a range of 1.2 kilometers.
The use of robots in combat remains one of those issues that none of the significant superpowers have to discuss; Although they all claim to be against the use of mechanized structures to kill individuals, neither the UN nor NATO have agreed to boycott them, and they have done nothing beyond "warning" of the danger they represent.
Meanwhile, innovation continues to advance.
As organizations like Boston Dynamics introduce items like the Spot automated canine, many envision its use in the combat zone; And considering that Boston Dynamics prohibits the savage use of its articles, there is no shortage of those who are willing to satisfy that need.
The Q-UGV is already used in army installations for reconnaissance and tracking tasks, but has currently received a SPUR (Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle) module, which is primarily a back-attached expert sniper rifle.
The module allows the robot to shoot targets 1.2 kilometers away, thanks to the innovation made, for example, a 30x optical zoom and a hot camera that allows it to "see" at night.
The current rifle has a 6.5 mm type, allowing you to eliminate any target (read adversary soldier) effortlessly.
These robots can work independently, allowing them to view courses preset by the administrator.
They are equipped to rotate if it is important to stay clear of the hitches, and the launch of warnings in the event that you experience an expected intruder.
Despite this, and the fact that SPUR stands for "Specific Purpose Uncontrolled Rifle", Ghost Robotics CEO Jiren Parikh has tried to avoid debate, guaranteeing that the Q-UGV is not actually completely independent and that it will be limited by a human administrator, who will be the one to pull the trigger from a distance if it is essential.
This robot is designed to reach favorable situations without endangering the administrator; for example, you can climb steps in metropolitan conditions.
Parikh also complains that his company has sparked more debate due to his robot's creature-like status, but that there were separate structures with firearms at a similar exhibition.
At the moment, this mechanical canine has not seen activity, since the Pentagon's strategy is that all robots must be limited by a human administrator; however, it is a rule that is likely to change, in case it has not done so by now, in light of the number of advancements in robots and independent robots made by different parts of the US military.
