Fort Devens
Army Base, MA - A firsthand look at the Legged Squad Support
System, or LS3 ... the robotic mule built by Boston Dynamics
with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) that is being tested by the Marine Corps.
Marines with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment put the LS3
through its paces for the first time Nov. 5-7, 2013. The LS3
is designed to reduce the load Marines carry in combat, can
reach speeds of 6 mph and carry up to 400 pounds.
