The U.S. Air Force, in collaboration with representatives from Asylon, showcased the capabilities of robotic dogs during the first-ever Synchronized Nuclear Readiness Operations Training (SNORT) at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.

The demonstration, held on March 6, 2024, highlighted the potential of remotely operated security systems in enhancing emergency response protocols without jeopardizing the safety of human defenders. The robotic dog, developed by Boston Dynamics with additional hardware and software capabilities provided by Asylon, exemplifies the latest advancements in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).

Equipped with a suite of sensors, the robotic dog operates in a semi-autonomous mode, enabling it to conduct patrols independently while navigating its surroundings and avoiding obstacles. This autonomous functionality empowers the robot to swiftly respond to emergent situations, providing real-time surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities crucial for nuclear readiness operations.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'd feel better if they were using their time and energy to get all their combat gear up and running.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I wonder how they'd do patrolling the border?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
