We’re about to find out if this ‘optionally-manned’ Polaris ATV could help shoulder a soldier’s combat load

One of two prototype robotic vehicles set to hit the 101st Airborne and 10th Mountain divisions this summer is a driverless version of an All Terrain Vehicle currently in use by Marine reconnaissance teams, the MRZR X. (Polaris Industries)

One of two designers of a prototype unmanned vehicle that the Army plans to test whether robotic vehicles fit in their formations has released details of its submission.

The Army’s 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division and the 1st Brigade Combat Team at 10th Mountain Division will be the first teams in the Army to run training missions and testing with these robotic systems in the formations, said Bryan McVeigh, project manager for the service’s Force Protection Robotics Portfolio at an April conference.
