Americans are learning to fight in conjunction with robots. Yesterday, June 23, the portal janes.com he reported that the US Army has begun testing prototypes of RCV-L light combat robotic vehicles.

"We are trying to determine the optimal distance between the control point and the robot. We are putting a lot of effort into trying to see if something will break to allow our industry partners to come back, fix it and improve, " said Major General Ross Coffman, director of the cross-functional group for next-generation combat vehicles in the US Army.

The RCV-L is the "junior" model of robotic combat vehicles that the US Army intends to adopt this decade. QinetiQ and Pratt Miller (now acquired by Oshkosh Defense) delivered the first four RCV-L samples at the end of last year. Now they have special software installed on them that provides work in conjunction with modified Bradley, which are called Mission Enabler Technologies — Demonstrators (MET-D), since they have a robot control system installed in them.

QinetiQ points out that the RCV-L is a specially created hybrid-electric unmanned ground combat vehicle capable of carrying various payloads. These vehicles are supplied to the US Army complete with a combat module, which is equipped with a machine gun, a grenade launcher and/or a Javelin ATGM.
