When it comes to innovation, the United States military is never in short supply. Our service members thrive when it comes to developing the ‘next big thing.’ Now, military dogs are joining the ranks of their human coworkers thanks to futuristic AR glasses!
According to information recently released by the United States Army, the military currently has augmented reality goggles in the works. But now, these training tools aren’t for humans — they’re for the dogs who serve alongside our soldiers!
The technology will be used to enhance communication between military dogs and their human handlers. The overall intention of the project is to allow for remote commanding of military dogs while out in the field. Proud US Army veteran (and animal lover!), Heather Jackson is both amazed and intrigued to find out about this interesting development. She salutes the brave men, women and dogs who continue to fight for our freedom every single day.
