Deploying Dogs & Robots to Combat Suicide Bombing

By Farid Masood • Mar 13th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 5 Comments

In every incident of suicide bombing the lost born by the government ranges from 2 ~ 8 millions in terms of payments to successors of deceased and to the injured ones.

Pre-empting suicide bombing is much difficult, but we can reduce the attempts by using technology and animal senses.

Installing robots at entrances and exits of each city. Robot capable of sensing the surroundings to indicate any vehicle carrying explosives or a person wearing such jacket. Identified vehicle may be stopped at a distance from gathering.

Same is the case with dogs trained specifically to identify the explosive material such as gun power, TNT, and any other type of explosive. Dogs may be used at entrances gates of government offices / high profiles areas.

Un-manned spy aircrafts may also be equipped with such sensing technology to fly over the cities and army installations / cantonments.

This is not a proven solution but it may help to reduce suicide attacks.

  1. The problem with the world is that it tends to depend too much upon technology. In a country like ours, if the government started spending money on the people itself; on their health, education, and uplift their social status then we would never need no tech robots to protect our lives from our own neglected people.

  2. Farid the problem with this approach is manyfolds. The primary problem is that these tactics are useless in the case of humanoid weapons. Secondly you need to know the place where explosives are located to send your robots to disable the fuses. Thirdly dogs are also living beings and do not deserve to die. Fourthly scanning every individual and every activity is beyond any govt. in the world. and last but not the least is the issue of privacy. You can’t expect security to frisk up every soul in the country everytime they enter a new premise.
    Also even if you identify dangerous vehicles often it is too late and the action happens before any concrete measure can be taken.
    But this does not mean that these ideas are not applicable in a modified form. Infact they can be tailored to suit our needs.

  3. I just placed an idea to deploy such technolog(robots) at the entrance of cities and exits, But infact if i kill a person’s family he will never let me live easily. God give the wisdom to our leaders
