Drones are not just machines that scout and attack from the sky. Drones have been widely used on the ground for purposes such as bomb disposal in the past. Now, with the advancement of technology, various unmanned weapons, including robot tanks, are being developed. The U.S. is embracing this trend and aiming for unmanned battlefields.

The U.S., which has shown great interest in the unmanned capabilities of armored forces, is planning a competition among domestic defense companies to determine who will lead the next generation of U.S. unmanned power. One such robot tank developed by Oshkosh is reported to have recently undergone live-fire training with a prototype. Let’s learn more about this.

Model Submitted to U.S. Army
Other Companies Also Developing

Oshkosh has submitted a prototype and proposal for its Robot Combat Vehicle (RCV) program to the U.S. Army. This model, whose name and performance have not yet been revealed, has already completed live-fire tests, and Oshkosh is confident that the robot will meet the requirements of the U.S. military.

In addition to this combat-specific model, General Dynamics aims to supply the U.S. military and NATO with the MUTT. Despite being armed, this vehicle can perform various tasks, such as transportation and reconnaissance. This vehicle is currently the largest unmanned autonomous ground vehicle in NATO.

Russia and South Korea also show high Interest
Infantry Combat Support is Key

Not only that, but Russia has also developed the Uran-9, an unmanned combat vehicle. While most UGVs developed by the U.S. military are lightly armed with machine guns or cannons, this vehicle is a medium-armored drone equipped with anti-tank missiles. South Korea’s Hanwha Defense has also developed a multi-purpose unmanned vehicle, mainly designed to suit the mountainous terrain dominating the Korean Peninsula.

UGVs perform various tasks, from transporting supplies and wounded soldiers, repairing armored forces, completing combat missions when armed, and even providing cover for infantry in combat situations. UGVs are expected to significantly change infantry formations and play a substantial role in infantry combat.
