This is suprisingly interesting. They use a 3D model to geographically identify each sub-unit of the original building in the rubbles. Then they gather intelligence on clues in each unit to confirm their data and adjust their model accordingly. Doing this they are able to improve precision and identify smaller units in the rubbles (ex. identify each room within a house).
It's really an intelligence unit with the added capacity of excavating and moving rubble. I can see the usefulness of this for an army. Buildings, especially buildings targeted during conflicts, contain precious and strategical objects and information. Being able to recover them is crucial.

It mostly focuses on civilians and infrastructure.
