The Answer To Australia's National Security Needs? Robot Tanks
“Greater reliance on autonomous systems and unmanned platforms makes a great deal of sense, given the small size of our military,” says Malcolm Davis, a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
Key Point: Australia is getting into robot military vehicles.
It is joining a host of nations that are developing or have even deployed armed autonomous patrol vehicles, robot trucks and even remote-controlled tanks. The club includes the United States, Russia, China, Israel and various European nations.
But of them all, robotic combat vehicles may make the most sense for Australia.
