Rescue dog wearing high-tech shirt

High-tech armor for dogs, equipped with sensors and some other communication devices, will support rescue and search operations in emergencies.

The available armor sets for dogs will be improved and add microphones, cameras and environmental sensors, so that data can be transferred from a dangerous area. The vibration device and loudspeaker mounted on the armor will help the operator to issue commands remotely.

According to Live Science, each shirt can be customized depending on the situation. For example, in the event of a gas leak, the armor can be equipped with an additional gas sensor. Or in case of radiation, experts will add Geiger radiometer to the shirt.

These shirts are also fitted with sensors, which help regulate the dog's physiological behavior and problems, such as a heart rate device to monitor health or determine whether the dog is able to identify a good scent. Any object or not.

According to the researchers, using these high-tech shirts does not mean replacing dog control, but it will help dog operators work with them. Wireless connection means can send information about the environment or the status of the dog to the control center or operator.

"We have developed new technology and technology platforms to improve the effectiveness of rescue and search dog training, while enhancing the animals' search and rescue capabilities." , Alper Bozkurt and David Roberts, researchers at the University of North Carolina, said.

These shirts are in the process of testing and are expected to be popular in the future, supporting search and rescue operations in emergencies, in many different types of terrain and environments.
