Unmanned Combat Ground Vehicle

Some images of the drop tower belonging to the National Microgravity Laboratory. The tower is used to simulate low-gravity/micro-gravity environment. Located in Beijing, it was built in 2003. With a height of 116 meters above ground and 8 meters below ground, it's the highest drop tower in Asia. The tower is capable of simulating microgravity (as low as 0.00001g) for 3.6 seconds. It was also used to verify the performance of Tianwen-2's robotic arm in microgravity environment, which is crucial to its ability to obtain astroid samples.

^^^ I remember they have a tower that simulate microgravity using EM cat lift.

To be able to drop these with a large vtol drone make transporting supplies a lot safer. Interesting to see that it can tow something too.

Come for the video, stay for the music.

We need to start seeing applications using the Unitree B2-W.

I see it carrying assault rifles, automatic grenade launchers, micro-missiles like QN-202, and 5/6 FPV drones with explosive charges.

The B2-W is larger, faster, sturdier and more mobile.

Stabilization will be a major issue, especially with unguided weaponry, which is why vehicle-derived UGVs will likely be procured in larger numbers than robot dogs/animals.

Then that only discounts assault rifles, and to a lesser extent, the automatic grenade launchers.

They are perfectly suited for carrying small guided missiles and small FPVs. Maybe even rolling grenades.
