The charming lady in the picture below is Beátka CQB K-9 – though you would not know it from her demure expression, she has titanium teeth. The vest she is wearing is a new K9 body armor from CQB K9. According to CQB K9’s Alex Dunbar (pictured below rappelling with K9 ‘Bear’), the vest is manufactured of Spectra-Gold. It’s Level III-A, and this one was made in desert digi (Cordura) for high altitude desert operations. This is a proprietary CQB K9 design used by police K9s and MWD (Military Working Dogs) around the world.

CQB K-9 has developed a dog helmet camera (Level III-A with GPS, patent pending). It’s a modular design, compatible with eye protection Rex Specs and hearing protection Mutt Muffs.

Gizmodo has a write-up on the “badass” Navy SEAL dogs used in the operation to kill Osama bin Laden:

Navy SEAL dogs are badasses, yes. But did you know some of them have titanium fangs, designed to rip through enemy protective armor?

That titanium grill runs $2,000 per tooth. The end result, US military dog trainer Alex Dunbar tells The Daily, is that being bitten is "like being stabbed four times at once with a bone crusher." Hard. Core.

As Radley Balko has pointed out before, some SWAT teams across America are already more militarized than the military. So my concern when I see this “badass” technology on these dogs is that it’s probably fairly easy to start equipping police dogs this way.

They’re called war dogs, and they’re playing a crucial role in the U.S. military.

When the Navy SEALs raided Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, they had a specially trained canine with them. Nearly 3,000 active duty dogs are serving in the armed forces now.
