Control and Performance Monitoring of the Military Working Dog

Abstract

The report summarizes the activity of an 18-month exploratory attempt to develop a telemetry technique to monitor alerting responses in military dogs, and to transmit and record the resultant physiological data. The program also attempted to evaluate the feasibility of controlling behavior by telemetric means. Two techniques for monitoring alerting responses at distances to one mile were investigated: heart rate changes and skin temperature changes. Technical feasibility of the experimental technique under field conditions was demonstrated.
