By the 2030s, the U.S. Army plans to build and deploy three types of robotic combat vehicles.
Piloted by soldiers from miles away, the robo-vehicles will either fight solo or alongside crewed vehicles.
The director of the Army's next-generation combat vehicle program likened the robotic vehicles to Gen. George Patton's "Ghost Army" of World War II.
The U.S. Army's future robotic combat vehicles will be like the Ghost Army of World War II, according to the director of the nascent program. The service hopes armed robots will be a reality by the 2030s, providing extra firepower and the tools to take on difficult, dangerous missions that would otherwise put human lives at risk.
