The Cerberus Digital Canine Transmission system is a Colchester-based creation that helps canine handlers get a better sense of what visual cues their dogs are picking up.
Dogs are excellent workers and offer a wide variety of skills, but they can't really communicate what they see. The Cerberus system tackles this program by allowing the handler to see exactly what their dog sees.
The system consists of a special harness that holds a small camera arm and a transceiver that sits snug against the dog's spine. The transmitter sends a secure, encrypted video signal to the handler's high-resolution portable receiver, which allows the handler to get a good visual gauge.
Unsurprisingly, this system is targeted towards the military and defense markets, where it could be used to increase the efficiency and efficacy of canine units.
Trend Themes
1. Canine Video Transmission - The use of video transmission to provide real-time vision from canines could revolutionize several industries.
2. Animal Technology Interfaces - Innovations that amplify natural animal abilities through technological interfaces are poised to transform various industries.
3. Secure Animal Communication - Secure communication between animals and their human handlers can be a gamechanger for industries that rely on animal assistance.
Industry Implications
1. Military and Defense - The Cerberus system has great potential for revolutionizing military and defense strategy with its ability to enhance the efficacy of canine units.
2. Search and Rescue - The device could also be adapted for search and rescue missions, enabling rescue workers to view real-time video footage from search dogs and other rescue animals.
3. Agriculture - With slight modifications, the Cerberus system could provide farmers with a new tool for monitoring livestock and reducing losses to predators.
