Unusual mid 80s armed robotic sentry.

I’ve been searching quite a lot lately for publications(specifically books and magazines)with information on the so-called “PROWLER” robot designed built and tested by Robot Defense Systems of Thornton Colorado around 1985. Nasty piece of tech with twin M60 machine guns,armor-plated chassis,Mark 19 automatic 40mm grenade launcher,extendable surveillance periscope equipped with day and night video camera,and a two-way loudspeaker system to warn intruders in US government restricted areas such as ballistic missile silos. Alternative weapon fits included uzi submachine guns,an M-134 minigun,105mm recoilless rifle,Hughes 30mm cannon,and even the M9E flamethrower. Really no close equivalents in terms of sheer firepower and variety of weapons carried.
