MAGS

3D Modeling

3D Modeling sketch

Developed by Skynet Research, Mobile Aerial Ground Support, nicknamed "MAGS" by the troops, is primarily a support weapon in the urban warfare environment of present day and fulfills the promise of forward aerial reconnaissance and fire support where it is needed the most. The main unit is almost dead silent and serves as a home base for the squadron of aerial drones that can be called on at any moment by a dedicated assigned soldier. Once airborne, the drones serve up real-time intel on enemy movements, locking on and tracking multiple targets in a hostile environment. Defensive and limited offensive weapons can only be activated by the MAGS controller and automatically replenish themselves after engagements. MAGS is currently in limited deployment at undisclosed locations by United States military.

Notes

• T-72 from Terminator Genisys: Future War shares a similar design concept with MAGS as both are biomimetic quadruped robots with gun(s) on the back.

Behind the Scene

• The MAG share a similar design with Ravage from the 2009 film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
• In reality, various quadruped legged robots have been developed, such BigDog, LS3, and LittleDog developed by Boston Dynamics.
