Task & Purpose | By Jared Keller
The Air Force deployed an unusual new system during a recent exercise: "Robot dogs" designed to enhance the situational awareness of security forces during a mission.
The robot dogs -- developed by Ghost Robotics as part of an Air Force Research Laboratory contract awarded back in April -- were deployed last week to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada as part of an agile combat employment exercise during which airmen scrambled to secure a simulated airfield against hostile attack.
The exercise, conducted by active-duty and Air National Guard airmen from across the United States, was planned to test the Air Force's next-generation Advanced Battle Management System, "a state-of-the-art system designed to provide combatant commanders the ability to control Department of Defense assets in real-time," according to the Air Force.
