Robot dogs, developed to increase security in police operations and produce more effective solutions against technological threats, stand out with their ability to jam wireless networks. Introduced by the DHS, these innovative robot dogs have the potential to revolutionize police raids.
NEO, the robot dog that jams wireless networks
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced robot dogs that jam wireless networks at the 2024 Border Security Expo. This robot dog, called NEO, draws attention with its resemblance to Boston Dynamics’ Spot model and the Xiaomi CyberDog. However, NEO is more than just a showpiece.
Shiftdelete.netNEO provides police officers with remote observation and communication by entering potentially dangerous situations. In addition, it prevents devices connected to Wi-Fi and other wireless communication networks from working by jamming wireless networks in the environment it is in. In this way, police officers can operate more safely.
The idea of developing these robot dogs came about when FBI agents went to a house to perform a search warrant and a suspect noticed the agents using the doorbell camera and opened fire. Two agents lost their lives and three were injured in the incident. Thanks to robot dogs that jam wireless networks such as NEO, such incidents can be managed more safely.
Tesla will start producing humanoid robots in 2024, according to Elon Musk. Let's take a look at the details.
Although NEO prevents IoT devices from working by jamming wireless networks, it has no effect on wired devices. Nevertheless, such technological advantages can provide officers with the necessary advantage in police operations. This innovation is considered an important step in showing how technological advances can be integrated into police operations.
This initiative by DHS is much less dangerous than armed robots seen in other countries, while allowing security forces to keep up with technological developments. Robot dogs such as NEO both increase security in police operations and allow for more effective results.
