Pyeonghwa is the World’s first anti-suicide bomber dog… trained and donated by Samsung. The dog will be serving with UK troops over in Iraq.
The golden Labrador is trained to detect suspicious human behaviour, including gestures and facial expressions, that might indicate a potential suicide bomber. The dog then discreetly signals her handler to take the person out.
K9 magazine reports the electronics firm Samsung has trained, and donated to UK troops in Iraq, the world's first anti-suicide bomber dog. The three-year-old Labrador was trained in Korea to "detect the specific explosive substances that are used in self-detonating bombs used by suicide bombers." If there could be a whole army of these dogs trained and deployed throughout the Middle East, suicide bombings might become a thing of the past.
A three year old Labrador called Pyeonghwa, which means 'peace' will be deployed in Northern Iraq in a few weeks. Her job will be to detect suicide bombers. While most dogs are trained to concealed explosives, Pyeonghwa is trained to spot the combination of human body language and explosives that located on that person's body. She is trained to pick up facial signals and body language and then covertly investigates that person, giving a passive signal to her handler, who then tackles the potential bomber.
