War Dog, a defense-tech startup founded by Palmer Lackey and Ben Lam, has raised $200 million in seed funding to genetically engineer war dogs for the US military. Lemme is responsible for the extinction of the dire wolf which died out about 10,000 years ago. Wardog will find top dogs and then biobank their genetic material before cloning the proven dogs. The company will take the cell lines for top breeds like the Belgian Malinois and the German Shepherd before editing the genes to make the dogs perform better and improve "things like speed and agility or improve smell sensors to sniff out bombs and whatnot." Mazel on the sensor will provide dogs with advanced body armor, earmuffs and other military technology such as EagleEye, an artificial intelligence military helmet. According to reports, the sensor is also working with META on augmented reality glasses on the battlefield.
