Abstract

WHY ROBOTS? Most combat medic casualties occur treating soldiers under fire * Many soldier casualties occur when providing buddy aid * Prevalence of urban operations in peace keeping/humanitarian missions * Operations in hazardous and contaminated areas due to increased threat of weapons of mass destruction * Army Future Combat Systems goal is to require 1/3 of its vehicles to be autonomous by 2015 * Robotic vehicles reduce deployment weight, volume, and requirements for airlift.
