Robotic dogs to start patrolling Florida military base
November 16, 2020
Newly developed robotic K9s will soon be prowling the Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida to enhance security and surveillance patrolling, Florida Insider reported Monday.
The 325th Security Forces Squadron, which handles security for the base, said the robo-dogs are weatherproof, four-legged, unmanned patrolling drones that have two-way communication abilities and high tech sensors that cost about $100,000 a pop, the outlet reported.
“This is a springboard into the future of integrated defense,” Squadron Commander Maj. Jordan Criss told the outlet at a recent demonstration on base.
“This is only the first step, and what we’re very excited to do is be that test and evaluations site which proliferates the rest of this technology for the rest of the Air Force.”
While the not-so-furry sentries won’t “bite,” if someone attempts to steal or otherwise “harm” the robot, a defense mechanism is triggered that will hurt the predator.

They say that Russia is a technically backward country, there are no roads, robotics do not develop, rockets do not fly, and mail goes too long. It’s a bullshit.
New Russian Cyber Farm is what we are coming to soon
Russian Mars colonization project is here.

First Test Flight Of Skyborg's "Computer Brain" Flown On UTAP-22 Loyal Wingman Drone
MAY 5, 2021
The U.S. Air Force says that it has conducted the first flight test of an initial version of the artificial intelligence-driven "computer brain" it is developing under the Skyborg program using a Kratos UTAP-22 Mako unmanned aircraft. Kratos, along with Boeing and General Atomics, are on contract to start delivering new drones soon to support this project. Skyborg is centered on crafting a system of systems that will be able to fly networked "loyal wingman" type drones, as well as fully autonomous unmanned combat air vehicles, or UCAVs.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio announced the successful completion of the flight test, which it said lasted approximately two hours and 10 minutes, on May 5, 2021. The flight had occurred on April 29, with personnel launching the UTAP-22 carrying the Skyborg Autonomy Core System (ACS) from Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. Tyndall has immediate access to extensive over-water ranges in the Gulf of Mexico and is already a regular launch point for ground-launched Kratos BQM-167A Skeeter target drones, from which the UTAP-22 is derived.
"We’re extremely excited for the successful flight of an early version of the ’brain‘ of the Skyborg system. It is the first step in a marathon of progressive growth for Skyborg technology," Air Force Brigadier General Dale White, the service's Program Executive Officer for Skyborg, as well as for Fighters and Advanced Aircraft, said in a statement. "These initial flights kickoff the experimentation campaign that will continue to mature the ACS and build trust in the system."
