Autonomous system trial paves the way for improved reconnaissance and safer army operations
A trial has seen a single operator controlling three uncrewed vehicles, which detected and classified threats.
The trials, conducted by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), proved that robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) can be integrated into and controlled from crewed command vehicles, in a UK first.
Dstl's science and technology is vital to keeping our Armed Forces safe and the UK secure.
Its mission is to deliver operational advantage at pace, shape the defence and security landscape, prepare for the future, leverage and influence internationally.
Dstl gives the UK a battle-winning edge across science, technology, cyber and information. It offers expert advice allied to inside knowledge, and underpinned by deep operational understanding of defence and security needs.
