Last month the UK's Ministry of Defence showcased new high-tech equipment including the Nano Bug mini drone that can fit in the palm of a soldier's hand. It can travel at speeds of up to 50mph and provides the troops on the ground with a bird's eye view of the battlefield.
arlier this month, the UK's Chief of Defence, Gen. Sir Nick Carter suggested that the British Army could fill out its ranks with "robot soldiers." The deployment of robots could address the recruitment shortfalls that the UK has faced in recent years, but could also give its forces an edge in combating the enemy.
One area where small autonomous vehicles could potentially play a large role is in being force multipliers.

It can send information to the soldiers on the ground but also link to the larger ground-based X3 unmanned autonomous vehicle, which has a speed of 12.4mph and a range of 1.2 miles. The X3 can be linked with other vehicles and drones, which can share information along a chain up to 15 miles long. This could ensure that infantry as well as armored vehicles avoid entering a battlefield until it has been properly scouted.

British Army ... Didn’t realize they still had one. Do they even?
Poor bastards.
Send some to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia please.
What is best in life?
To see your drones crush your enemies
See them driven by your drones before you
And to hear the lamentation
Of their women remotely recorded by your drones.
Luckily the enemy will not know and they will be surprised
ha ha ha ha ha ....
