U.S. Army hopes to start fielding futuristic robotic mules next year
Jul 28, 2019
The U.S. Army squads and battalions may start receiving futuristic remote-controlled robotic vehicles or robotic mules by next year.
The robotic mule, or Squad Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) vehicle, is designed to reduce soldiers’ load by carrying their weapons and supplies in the field. These small vehicles are expected to follow along with a squad of Soldiers as they walk to wherever it is they have been directed to go. SMET vehicle can carry up to 1,000 pounds of equipment for 60 miles in 72 hours, which could greatly reduce the burden of the gear and supplies that soldiers have to carry.
The Army Futures Command hopes to start fielding the SMET vehicle next year after successful testing with units from the 10th Mountain and 101st Airborne divisions, according to the Military.com.

Unless you have to sit down, make coffee, and have a conversation to talk him into it, That ain't a mule.
