Army tests autonomous robots that hunt enemy targets
Four robotic vehicles were sent hunting for enemy targets during a military demonstration at Fort Knox, Kentucky, recently, but only one initially moved. Guided by satellite imagery, the unmanned vehicle climbed a hill, scanning the surrounding terrain while the other three waited behind. Halfway up, it spotted a potential target and abruptly stopped. Two other robotic vehicles advanced to provide support before a simulated rocket strike hit a t…
Four ground vehicles without a driver from DARPA's RACER program looked for team targets on October 15 in Fort Knox (Kentucky). Three of them carried a drone on board. The test ended with a simulated rocket that hit a target at about 275 meters. The U.S. Army told it on October 22nd. ...
