Thank heavens they are doing this!
Lack of predators has led to the deterioration of the species.

I was also thinking about the powerplant on this thing. It looks like it would weigh at least as much as a dirtbike, probably more. When you add in all the other power requirements it would need to be effective (thermal optics, complicated and elaborate hydraulics, etc.) you’re talking about a requirement for a whole lot of juice. Now, for it to be as silent and stealthy as they suggest, that would imply electric power, and you’re right on...the batteries alone would be huge for extended activity. Perhaps enough to send into a building like we’d currently employ a K9, but I see protracted battlefield use a good way off in the future...or at least until Iron Man’s chest implant reactor becomes available.
