Mike,
The program is funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency). This is a defense project plain and simple.
I believe the initial intent of this is to be a pack mule in mountainous terrain were conventional vehicles cannot go and you have to have an animal currently. A robot won't get spooked by gunfire and run away with all your spare ammunition. Having an advanced attack version would be the next step albeit not far behind.
