The US Army is testing a self-driving Humvee truck that it hopes will help soldiers who are trapped in dangerous situations on the battlefield.

The Humvee, which is called the 'Wingman', is being tested to see if it can accurately identify and shoot targets.

Mounted on top of the truck is a 50-caliber machine gun and an autonomousremote engagement system that communicates with the command and control vehicle stationed nearby.



For example, the Humvee might be used alongside the Special Forces.


If they're in a contested location, the soldiers might choose to send the Humvee into the situation instead of soldiers.

United State Marine, Office of Naval Research (ONR) has revealed its first test of an autonomous helicopter.

It is hoped the system will initially be used to resupply troops on the front line and could one day even take them into battle.


The system consists of a sensor and software package that can be integrated into any manned or unmanned rotary-wing aircraft.


It can detect and avoid obstacles (like buildings, trees, mountains, telephone wires, other vehicles or large ground objects) in unfavorable weather conditions, or to facilitate autonomous, unmanned flight.


This capability will be an alternative to dangerous convoys or manned aircraft missions in all types of weather.

Researchers have developed the system as a kit that can be fitted to different models of helicopter, including Blackhawk/Apaches

Seems you are a novice to international espionage things.


Something that terrorist groups will probably lay their hands on and modify to suit their own nefarious activities before end of the year.

Non they are autonomous by but not fully independent asin they still rely on their base code to operate on pure AI, but I am looking at situation were they won't want to send their soldiers to war. Though it will be cool sha, if my hardware destroy your hardware, you surrender lol
