A new statistic came out revealing that for every 50 soldiers there's one robot drone out in the battle field, with this number increasing. The obvious theory is for every bullet a bot takes it's a life saved. Spawning from the makers of iRobot comes Foster Miller's Talon.
These armed robots travel 5.2 MPH and carry a variety of different weapons including an M16 rifle, a 5.56 mm SAW M249, a 7.62 mm M240 machine gun, a .50 cal M82 Barrett rifle, a six barreled 40 mm grenade launcher or quad 66 mm M202A1 FLASH incendiary weapon. Remote operation of one of these bad boys is as easy as handling an XBox controller.
The current price of one unit is $230,000 which can be made arguably cheaper than training a live solider. Good thing there's rescue bots and robot surgeons, cause they'll be cleaning up the devastation left by these robots of war.
Informative video! Foster Miller SWORDS robot is one of those killer machines that allows soldiers to fight with the enemy from a remote distance. It comes with a machine gun and is one ninja robot. These robots make it easy to conduct the war while protecting soldiers. Thanks a lot for providing this nice information.
