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.

Yeah, right. Pack mule. You go on thinking that whilst I am mounting Javelin Missiles to its sides. When you see Big Dog launching the Javelin on the evening news, tell yourself it just farted.
