Military Innovation


Israel Displays Unmanned Patrol Vehicle -Matti Friedman

The Guardium, a remote-controlled, unmanned vehicle commissioned by the Israeli military, is designed to replace human soldiers in dangerous roles and sometimes tedious missions, cutting casualties.

Robots like this are potentially the future of ground warfare, said John Pike, director of the military think tank Globalsecurity.org.

"A robot means you don't have to write a condolence letter."
