Scout robot
The largest German arms concern Rheinmetall presented one of its latest developments-a robot scout and combat support Mission Master Armed Reconnaissance.
It became a clear embodiment of the growing trend to expand the capabilities of military robots. Previously, they were mainly engaged in mine clearance under the control of remote operators, but now they are Autonomous vehicles capable of escorting ammunition convoys, carrying out security and performing reconnaissance missions. An example of this is the mission Master Armed Reconnaissance robot, created on the Mission Master platform, supplemented by a set of sensors and a remote-controlled Rheinmetall Fieldranger (RCWS) fire support station.

The electronic filling is represented by electro-optical and infrared long-range sensors, a circular view camera, a laser rangefinder and a guidance system, as well as a 3.5 m long retractable mast that provides an overview of the area from behind the shelter. The Mission Master Armed Reconnaissance robot connects to the Argus system and uses the Rheinmetall Command and Control SOFTWARE integrated into the combat management system. Each robot can communicate with "brothers in arms" and, using artificial intelligence, act as part of a pack controlled by a remote operator, while Autonomous robots perform individual tasks. If necessary, the scout robot engages in combat using the powerful 7.62 mm RCWS Rheinmetall Fieldranger Light machine gun. At the same time, the robot detects and captures the target, and the operator gives the command to open fire.
