The US Space Force in Cape Cod (Cape Cod) also received a batch of Boston Dynamics robot dogs on February 24, which will be used for base patrol and security.

According to the military news website "Defence Blog", the American automated robot security company Asylon will cooperate with the US 6th Space Early Warning Squadron to improve security. This squadron will maintain high-level base security in the form of robot dogs and charging stations. In order to realize immediate security maintenance work.

Although the robot dog was developed by Boston Dynamics, the instrumentation and system integration used to perform various tasks on the robot dog was developed by Asylon.

Asylon has multiple contracts with the military to modernize and operationalize security patrol robots. Automated security robotics are key to this as base defense operations centers move from a personnel-decentralized to a centralized approach. effect.

By utilizing autonomous drones and ground vehicles to provide superior long-range intelligence, security forces are more resilient and better able to respond to any situation.

In addition, Asylon also won a contract worth US$1.2 million (approximately NT$36.74 million) to build a battery exchange station system at the Cape Cod Missile Early Warning Base to increase the battery life and patrol efficiency of the robot dog.

The U.S. Space Force base on Cape Cod was originally the U.S. Air Force base. It is one of the three U.S. bases that have the AN/FPS-123 Pave Claw Phased Array Early Warning Radar. ballistic missile.

Boston Dynamics previously became popular for its videos of robots and robot dogs dancing smoothly.
