Anti-tank drones roll in to eliminate armor, .50 cal drones with thermal vision take out snipers, AT and MG nests, Support drone brings in mortars and guided short-range rockets for supports and to soften up the rest of the enemy, Infantry moves in as airborne drones provide overwatch and remote targeting. Drone mules bring up ammunition and gear for all units after the objective is secure.

The issue with unmanned vehicles is the connection to them. I've always wondered how effective electronic countermeasures would be against them. With a ground vehicle it would be much easier to get jamming equipment in places that would totally cut the connection between the operator and the drone. Rendering it unoperational

@Matthew Fritz : It is on offensive operations where this type of system will be most useful. It can't be suppressed, it is disposable in ways a soldier isn't (quickly repaired, no loss of experience), It doesn't get tired, lose stamina, or need to eat. You can effectively rotate units back and forth for resupply and rotate operators in order to keep the operational tempo going on way beyond the breaking point (endurance, morale, and logistics) of a regular force. Commanders will have no qualms assigning them high risk missions they'd be reluctant to assign a human troop. Note also that you can assign as commanders and operators experienced soldiers that are off the field due to a physical disability or are past their prime fighting age. You can end up with a unit that can outfight the enemy in both, physical and mental terms.

Seems like they will need a mix of autonomous supply and autonomous defense platforms to protect these soft looking machines. You don't want the enemy jumping on your slow moving cart and stealing or placing IEDs in all your stuff. Looks to me like RPGs or even heavy guns will take these expensive carts out of the fight.

I think the future of UGV's is actually in the optionally manned department. I think the focus on crew survivability will eventually be eclipsed by the capabilities of armor defeating weapons, and at that point the focus will move to taking the crew out of the equation entirely. Optionally manned is a fantastic thing on the modern high tempo battlefield, allowing the vehicle to take a risk that the crew doesn't have to take. The crew would become the maintenance guys who ride along, essentially (and that's already kind of what they are, no offense man). This is going to be huge for crew survivability in an increasingly deadly fight.

Matsimus, I have a few questions for you. 1: do you think these things are weak to mines? Couldn’t an opposing force just screen there lines with mines to keep these things away? 2: could fights in the future be between opposing drone teams? 3: arnt these just 21st century tankeets? Wouldn’t they the same issues tankeets had in the past, like weak armor and range?

[Dances in T-800]

My favourite version of this concept would be a fully automated semi-autonomous re-iteration of the Strv 103 upgraded with a 140mm main gun and bouoyancy tanks (for suspending the vehicle at ~1.5m below surface) instead of the DD-style floatation screens that broke the surface.

An interesting idea would be to link automated weapons systems like this to designators on the weapons of the infantry. If you don't want a robot to decide what targets can be engaged, instead allow a squad leader to designate targets on the fly by naturally engaging them. No matter how good your camera systems, the guys with their heads out in the air can have a better situational awareness than someone behind remote controls. Being able to point and have a heavy weapon engage instead of having to tell a remote operator would probably be more effective.

The future warfare will be professional gamers hired to operate drones. Total domination.

A typical infantryman's loadout for a 3-5 day patrol: Uniform, including boots-5-10lbs. M240B-25lbs. 800-1200 7.62 rounds-20lbs (give or take). ACH, IOTV (with plates), attachments and misc gear, ammo and water-about 45-60lbs. Loaded rucksack with enough gear, food and supplies for a 3-5 day patrol-about 75-90+lbs. Total weight: 120-160lbs. (All estimations and vary greatly depending on the soldier, unit, location and type of patrol). I think the mule idea is a good one. The weight of all the gear that soldiers are being required to carry nowadays is to the point where people are wearing out their backs, knees, joints, etc before they even reach six years in service. Wearing more than 50lbs of weight alone puts you at risk for injury. It's one of the reasons why the US military is becoming increasingly reliant on mounted patrols and mechanized infantry. The less weight a soldier needs to carry into battle, the more mobile they are and the less tired they will be when they get there. Meaning you easily increase their lethality on the battlefield. There are going to be some tactical considerations that need to be made, such as when and where to leave the mules behind, but that far outweighs the cons of having them.

Definitely a future tool for breaking a stalemate situation. As a former medic in an Airborne Infantry and Special Forces being able to move wounded to a safe zone for extractions without having to pull security from the immediate battle could prove priceless. I can say that in the mid 80’s we were tasked to bring early laptops to the field. At the time we thought this was a joke and could not fathom the concept of one more cumbersome piece of tech into battle. I think those guys in your video are Airsoft Special Forces and the craft had a microwave oven for their pizza MRE’s.

2:20 modern day Goliath

Bruh sound effect #2

Matsimus I understand your point with the UGV crossing the steam. As to why the wouldn't jump on the deck it's a formula of dispersion, and security. You want to be far enough away from each other just in case you get hit with indirect fire or grenades. If you're close to each other like on top of that UGV you're sacrificing depth, security, and dispersion, and becoming a very big, and easy target.

A man with a Barrett .50 is considered a threat to most modern tanks. It will be several centuries till we have to worry about drones going "Sky-net" on us.

14:28 Enlisting increased 500%

Million dollar robot vs one wet boi

Your analysis of that last bit was a HOOT! Loved it.

I think the scenario of the recovery with the UGV was a hot fire scene. They went into the water instead of being on that car to be spread out and be less likely to be taken out by a single grenade/RPG hit or MG salvo and also to have more lines of fire and spread out eyes. Hence the casualty who was hit by enemy fire. Hence the smoke grenade to cover their retreat by obscuring the enemies vision.

Matsimus awesome video, I was in stitches at the end! 😂😂😝

I'd love to see a 20mm or even a 25mm stuck onto one of these bad boys. Now that would be some serious fire support since it would be able to carry loads of ammunition. Obviously one of the biggest downsides to unmanned robotic stuff is the cost. Sure, it saves face at the end of the day with the public if you send these guys in instead of soldiers but I can't imagine the maintenance on these things, not to mention the reliability factor. If you're in a situation where you're losing even one of these things in battle you're going to be losing a lot of money. With the United States, that's not too much of an issue due to our absolutely insane military budget, but most other countries are probably going to be a lot more hesitant about employing unmanned drones that probably cost as much as 20 soldiers ($$$$ wise of course, I'm not talking about the value of life which is of course much more important)

Some comments: 1) Mine clearing is definately a possibility! But then again, why not take a normal car! Have some mine plows on it and automatic steering. If you need to clear for mines - you'll have to go through the area anyhow - so all that expensive off road..... The RDaNavy has the Holm-class as mine drones - normally 4 of the 6 are configured for training and yeoman duties - picking up oilspills etc. But in case one of them is blown to smithereens there are spares. www2.forsvaret.dk/viden-om/materiel/sovaernets_materiel/droner/Pages/Droner2.aspx It is not so much the danger of mine clearing in itself. I suspect, but it is more: If a minefield is to be effective it needs to be guarded - by artillery f.i. - and that is one you want to finde - and take out. 2) As to CASEVAC there is no substitute for a "dust-off" where a qualified doctor with equipment is available. To keep the person alive for the "Golden hour" you'll need covering fire anyhow - perhaps "Sandies". In Vietnam the yanks stopped all the advanced first aid, and applied tourniquettes to everything. Perhaps from the realisation, that if getting a direct hit from 155 mm shell there is not much point anyway but put the forwarding adress to the Imperial Wargraves Commission. The tourniquet-solution might be the explanation why so few survived head trauma.....? 3) Considering supplies toting - well, I prefer providing the trucks with some sort of Level 2 protection - comes in handy in other connections as well. 4) Support in closed areas - well, in Libya it was possible to provide close air support against TANKS for CIVILIANS. The robots were there - called a GPS-bomb released from a safe distance. Saves you an awfull lot of bother by bringing up drones to the front. 5) As your commentary so eloquently points out: A lot of drones are solutions in search of a problem. Mind you Rheinmetal is a german company, and they are wont to overdesign into inpracticality.

The moral aspect of the weapon was addressed by the first projectiles and siege weapons. The first recorded bio attack that I know of, was conducted by Alexander the Great. Questioning the morality of an autonomous weapon this kind of foolhardy. We have had autonomous machines since the first torpedoes we're equipped with gyroscopes to maintain course to the Target. As for mr. Muffin top! Why did he stop in the middle of the river to do FaceTime? Not to mention his body armor is only covering about 50% of his torso!

looking at the history of war, it's hard to make a case for the "moral soldier". Will there be mistakes made by autonomous weapons? yes! Will some mistakes be avoided by having a cold machine that does not fear for it's life make decision instead of a stressed and exhausted jar head who just lost his buddy? Yes! However any single mistake made by an autonomous weapon will blown out of proportion while a platoon gunning down a village in frustration will be swept under the rug. Besides you can configure your weapon depending on it's mission, if material losses are more acceptable than unwanted casualties (peace keeping missions for instance) you can always settle on very restrictive engagement rules and have a more aggressive setting for more critical missions.

The problem with these is that it cost a ton, has equipment such as cameras that get dirty/damaged (not just gunfire or shrapnel, but small things like getting snagged on something or running into stuff), and the soldiers deployed with it might not have the skills they need to fix it when it does get damaged. If you don't know how to fix it yourself, you have to do it's job and then bring it back with you to get fixed. Maybe the guy standing in the open in the water is a boat gunner, but due to budget cuts the boat is not included. When you have no boat, you become the boat.

It's a good idea. Imagine an unmanned RC vehicle that's the size of a Prius, with a Rheinmetal 120mm, a 6,000lb weight and a 800hp engine. It would kill everything. 60mph off-road, small, manueverability, fearless -- You know, a remote control, modern version of the M56 Scorpion comes to mind..

In the intro, it looked like the germans were using digital flecktarn?

A lot of this was filmed in Estonia (not the fatties), note the Galils and G3's(AK4's). I noticed some of the G3's have domestically made foregrips. Also Estonia uses Canadian camo.

Def, if you can intigrate a drone into a squad, suddenly you can pack all kinds of nasty gear: 20mm cannon, ATGM's, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, rotary cannons.

while they could be usefull as support, sending in drones alone in combat would be foolish, all the enemy needs is an emp and they would get taken down the day these replace the infantry is the day we're gonna loose

Wow... they're using airsoft guns in a promo video for military equipment 😂😂

One reason you wouldn’t want everyone on the vehicle is because one burst from an MG or a well placed RPG could take everyone out. There are other reasons as well. If you are expecting contact you might want to keep that thing behind you as I am sure it makes a lot of noise. If you aren’t expecting contact or it is unlikely but you still dont want everyone in one place you could use it to ferry men across the danger area two at a time. And no, these guys are not active duty SF, either retired or just guys who work for the company. We do have a couple guys who are over weight because of injuries but not at this percentage.

Just having some of these ferrying munitions around could change things immensely. Imagine a mortar team with something following them carrying far more then they ever could.

Another question is how secure are radio controls? There were some rumors a couple of years ago - Russians landed US UAV in IRAN by intercepting it with a special EW vehicle. It happened twice, some long time ago and just a couple of years ago. These things are not secure yet, how can you trust weapon to a robot if the enemy can possibly intercept its control and kill your entire team using your own weapon? Some other concerns I have... As history tells us army is never satisfied with its toys. So when the time will come they will say we need a bigger drone that can carry an entire squad. Why marching on foot when you have a drone?... And we want it to be protected... And we want some weapons on it... And we want steering wheel as well... And here you go - M2 Bradley. So drone should remain small recon thing, scaling it up makes so sense. Even in this video people could drive IFV to the river, pick up the man on stretchers and bring him 20m to the vehicle. We just need to figure out how to make all IFV silent, electric engines, and hi-cap batteries. Drones will be scouting ahead, that's it. Sorry for my poor English.

@Justin batchelar Well Israel and US were able to infect almost all computers in the world with a trojan which caused a specific (hardened/military) nuclear facility in Iran to do physical damage to it's equipment. I mean, it does happen, and we haven't had a total war conflict that has really tested these areas.

What if the enemy hacks it remotely, or uses a electro magnetic pulse, or it gets a little cold, or hot, wet, falls, gets ambushed and pushed over....I am sure it has blindspots, That robot needs battery's right? I don't personally trust tech to reliably be trusted......who will carry the spare parts and do maintenance..... It just seems very fragile....at least if we think about the TV show robotwars which shows how fragile and clumsy robots can be .. .. Does not compute...lol

@Justin batchelar this is also the military that takes years to finish any major project because everyone wants their own little bit added in so they can say they were part of the project, leading to billions above budget and years behind schedule. Edit: a sad number turn out like that, not all thankfully

Most electronics can be hardened against all weather conditions as well as emp's. But you do have a point. They will eventually breakdown and will be difficult to repair in the field.

Ok so they can be made to resist weather. Cool. I am still concerned how well all the small components and chips and boards can survive a blast/shockwave from a nearby explosion or fall. I like the concept. It is cool. Just don't know how reliable they can be over a extended period and how long the lifespan of this expensive equipment can be.

Oh look it's the Tellytubbies SF. Heading home for tea and Tubbietoast.

The next step is going to be fine tuning and streamlining the command and control process. Computer systems in a backpack for control are practically guaranteed to break immediately. Systems that allow you to point a laser or point with your hand and designate an area for suppression or movement or whatever using verbal or visual commands that is all self contained within the UGV is the future.

Every time i hear about morales with weapons of war i roll my eyes. Cause we as americans put too much emphasis on this while countries like russia. China iran etc etc do not and will be very quick to bomb the enemies despite collaterol. Damage. And this brutality puts us at a disadvantage and our false sense of morality to appease nay sayers who do nothing to contribute to the cause but critisice everything. Lets not forget the first and only war america lost was cause of hippy bleeding hearts.

The M5 “Ripsaw” has been in development for 30 years. I’ve no doubts in the near future we will see mechanized formations of hundreds of them in combat zones. They will be very effective force multipliers.

Autonomous quadcopters doing pre-programed patrol routes that tell you when they notice the presence of an unexpected heat signature would be pretty great for security forces defending an F-35 station.

They have there pros and cons butt every weapon in the battlefield always has its ups and Downs. I can see them in the battlefield with troop sport that's all.

Thanks for the interesting video. It seems best used in an urban environment. Maybe the A-10 of the city.

Bonus points for the Terminator-esque music at the start . I for one welcome Skynet as our new masters 😄

One thing to note is that we put armor on a tank to protect the crew. A thousand of these don't need armor. Just enough to survive a fight and no lives are lost.

Matsimus got better at sound mixing, the intro theme is not loud af compared to video anymore! Good job, keep it so :) (Y)
