Robotic Warfare: The Frontier for the New Era as the United States Wants to Use Robot Soldiers
By 2025, the United States planned to create robots more than human to be part of the Armed Forces. This was the report by John Basset to the British Spy Agency.
China and Russia, according to Express is the competitors of the US and they plan to be ahead from those countries. With what is happening today, US will be mooted with such plan as they have the capacity to afford the technology.
The use of robots in the US Armed Forces has been clearly surfacing and evolving. The US Navy and Air Force for example are using drones used to spy and Autonomous ships among others.
In 2014, the head of the US Army Training and Doctrine General Robert Conse said that there are things in the operation that can and should only be performed by robots. Further, he said that with lesser people would mean lesser cost of casualties in combat.
By the end of next year, the United States Armed Forces have been planning of cutting down enlistment around 50,000 soldiers. The British Mirror described that this can be an army of robot from killer drones to cyborg soldiers.
In today's time, robots have only played a minor role in warfare. Basically, the very main functions of such in Afghanistan and Pakistan are for disarming bombs and carrying explosives to a specific target.
The advance Humanoid Robots has been closely developed by US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). For the time being, they have the model "Atlas", a two legged robot mainly use for disaster relief.
BBC on the other hand describes this as "The Soldiers that will never sleep". In the years that have passed, the development of this technology was made public. The possibility of robotic warfare may soon be the next frontier in the modern wars. The time is yet to come.
