The US Army's ‘robotic dog' technology development programme is exploring how it could add an infantry rifle as a payload, the service told Janes recently.

The Ghost Robotics-made Vision 60 Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) is currently being integrated with different sensors to see how well it can perform reconnaissance and other missions, Bhavanjot Singh, senior scientific technical manager for autonomy and automation for armaments systems at Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), told Janes on 26 July.

However, the service is exploring integrating the robot with a Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW), a new Sig Sauer XM7 Rifle, he said during a reception for lawmakers where the robot was displayed.

“The unique capability of the dog is the ability to traverse different types of terrain that wheeled vehicles may not be able to go,” Singh said. Other robotics platforms that the army is developing such as Project Origin robotic combat vehicle are larger and can be used in different formations.
