Dirty Work: Robots take on complex breach as Army evaluates potential
By: Jen Judson  

YAKIMA TRAINING CENTER, Wash. — The Army conducted an elaborate robotic combined arms breach exercise at Yakima Air Base in Washington State this month to figure out how robots can best take on the dangerous and dirty work and the technology, tactics, techniques and procedures that are needed for unmanned vehicles to be effective on the battlefield.

Gen. Mike Murray, the Army Futures Command commander, landed via UH-60 Black Hawk on a high desert plateau at Yakima Training Center, May 7, with a University of Texas engineer in tow who specializes in robotics, to check out the progress made by the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division Stryker Brigade Combat Team, led by Lt. Col. Jonathan Fursman, in assessing robotic breach capabilities as part of Bayonet Focus and the Joint Warfighting Assessment 2019.
