The author of this article is so void of understanding of FCS that he needs to go back to school and learn how to do research all over again. And the fact that the Army is introducing robots into their arsenal is no surprise. This has been going on for quite some time. Our engineers use them routinely to destroy IED's and look in rooms that may be booby trapped. FCS is a larger program that fields a common chasis, mulitple role vehicle approache with enhanced communications, survivability, stand off and lethatlity. FCS is all over the place in terms of info. Anyway... robots are cool.
One can argue that robots have been used in combat since at least WWII. A torpedo is essentially a crude robot; cruise missiles such as the German V-1 are more sophisticated, but robotic weapons nonetheless.
What we need to worry about is SkyNet unleashing all these terminators on us!
