The main benefit I can think of for the military is the ability to approach zones that have anti drone equipment via the ground. Noise isn't really a concern since grenade drones fly too high and kamikaze drones rely on speed and unpredictability. Not sure how much better approach on wheels would be than just flying low, either.

The tradeoff is presumably higher cost and less reliability. Additionally, less ability to carry mass than if it just flew.

I can't imagine a way this would be too useful but obviously a lack of imagination isn't proof..

At least they named it appropriately.

Ray Bradbury's Mechanical Hound has grown wings?

Although I don't think militaries would really rely on wheeled transportation much for drones, though perhaps reduced battery drain in the wheeled on-ground mode is a selling point for longevity in the field. It certainly has many other uses though.

Both civilians and the military already use drones a good amount. Is there anything specific to the military here besides just a better drone?

Came to post this comment and you beat me to it. I think it deserves an overdub with some very intense industrial techno or the Terminator theme.

my exact first thought. black mirror to the soundtrack of a photo app.
