The Marine Corps may one day launch crawling unmanned robots from ships to clear paths through deadly minefields for approaching assault troops to come ashore.
The Crawling Remotely-Operated Amphibious Breacher (CRAB) will be a submersible, remote-autonomous system armed with mine flails, tillers and rakes for breaching mined obstacles, a dangerous job that combat engineers and explosive ordnance disposal troops currently perform with expensive combat vehicles that are ill-equipped for surf operations, according to a recent Marine Corps Systems Command news release.
