Washington, D.C. — While the Army has taken a slow, methodical approach to developing what would be its first uncrewed combat vehicle, service leaders recently signaled that they are eager to integrate the technology into formations.
Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said the service is kicking off a new human-machine integrated formations initiative.
“These integrated formations will bring robotic systems into units alongside humans, with the goal of always having robots, not soldiers, make first contact with the enemy,” she said in a keynote speech at the Association of the United States Army’s annual conference in Washington, D.C.
The Robotic Combat Vehicle is the service’s foremost program to integrate the technology in the battlefield.
