US Startup Warhound Raises $200 Million to Develop Genetically Engineered Military Dogs
Warhound, a US defense startup founded by Palmer Luckey and Ben Lamm, aims to clone and genetically engineer military working dogs to enhance traits like health, speed, and agility. The company has raised $200 million in seed funding and plans to biobank genetic material from proven dogs, clone them, and edit genes to improve performance. This initiative addresses US reliance on European suppliers and competition from other countries, while acknowledging that training and environment remain crucial for dog effectiveness.
