- jerf 16y agoAnd what is on BigDog's back? A pack of six of these buggers and support infrastructure for them (larger battery, for instance, or a generator). Localized air surveillance and potentially semiautonomous to boot. And I mention this because that's just the direct application of these two devices with no (significant) new research necessary. While the news is flooding with doom and gloom (and with some justification), times are getting interesting real quicklike where few people are looking.
