Ground robots teaming with soldiers in the battlefield -
Modern militaries are steadily integrating ground robots—often called robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) or autonomous ground systems (AGS)—as force multipliers that enhance the reach, endurance, and situational awareness of human units. These platforms handle hazardous or burdensome tasks, allowing squads and platoons to operate more safely and focus on mission execution. Ukraine’s extensive use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), including the delivery of more than 150 Milrem THeMIS systems through a Dutch-led initiative, illustrates how rapidly these technologies are entering real conflict zones. Confirmed deployments indicate a steady expansion of robotic support on the battlefield. UGVs are particularly valuable for reconnaissance and threat detection in complex environments such as dense urban […] Read More
