How can one have an Infantry Fighting Vehicle without infantry (even robot dismounts)??
This really is a unmanned light armored vehicle.

I understand it’s unmanned. There is no one inside of it. But with those dimensions, it pretty much looks like it could have a crew. I would expect an unmanned vehicle to be proportioned much differently from a manned vehicle.

Plus, it will still need to have maintenance as well as having its ammo replenished, by a human.

I’m certainly no expert, but I recall reading somewhere that armored vehicles were much more vulnerable to enemy infantry unless the vehicles had their own infantry supporting/protecting them.
To: Parmy
never,no people needed, we can keep them in houses indefinitely
if it can pickup peeps, it can load ammo.

you can do that with drones no people needed.,

I wasn’t thinking about drones (told you I was no expert).
To: HartleyMBaldwin
armored vehicles were much more vulnerable to enemy... Armored vehicles will be essentially useless against a high level adversary in a few years. Already air launched precision munitions are nearly 100% effective against armored vehicles, and there are currently no known stealth techniques for armored vehicles that can conceal them sufficiently from modern airborne sensing systems.
As long as an adversary can operate airborne attack vehicles, they will be able to destroy any armor in the battlefield.
In that context unmanned armor is only useful in some situations where the opponent lacks sophisticated weapons systems, or where the unmanned armor is protected by total airspace domination.

Oh no i just gave up on surviving the modern battlefield. Maybe once we reach this level will have another go at it whomever is left I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. ― Albert Einstein

All unmanned, semi autonomous, or remotely controlled systems also face an additional risk of cyber capture. A sophisticated opponent could commandeer unmanned systems remotely and then either destroy them or turn them back on their original owner.
That problem also exists with manually controlled weapon systems but successfully raiding a base and driving the tanks away may be much harder than remotely penetrating the control system and hijacking the tanks while sitting at a desk a thousand miles away.
To: ClearCase_guy
You still have to accommodate the machinery. The thing has the proportions of a light tank, but it’s too small for the three man crew you’d need. Look at the soldier graphic for size scale.

You are forgetting that tanks are getting increasingly more effective Active Protection Systems. Current gen ones can shoot some artillery rounds and submunitions out of the sky, deflect other tank main gun rounds, automatically engage ground attack aircraft and helicopters, etc. - and these are capabilities that have been demonstrated to work in the real world.
The balance is not going all the flyboys’ way.

Or the CIA or some such could just land a newly deployed stealth drone in Iran.
