Unmanned ground vehicles replace soldiers in breaching exercise

摘要

Humans have taken a backseat at a base exercise in which robots cleared obstacles for manned tanks and fighting vehicles. U.S. and British troops participated in the Robotic Complex Breach Concept demonstration, during which several unmanned remote-controlled combat vehicles performed a task usually carried out by soldiers. "We did a robotic breach today, which has never been done before. This is a historic moment," says 1st Lt. Cody Rothschild, an officer with the 1st Infantry Division's 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, currently on rotation in Europe.
