Tethered drones, robot vehicles aid soldiers during two-week live fire | Army Times

Recently, soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division put the Robotic Combat Vehicle into two weeks of live-fire training. This is in line with the Army’s development of robot fighting buddies to operate alongside its Next-Generation Combat Vehicle. The live-fire was conducted by soldiers from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, from Fort Benning, Georgia, in late April at Camp Grayling, Michigan. On the “Project Origin” platform, the troop went through various live-fire drills. The platform is a dummy device that the Army is testing as part of its RCV development. The very same soldiers used the device in November, experimenting with autonomous driving, the drone system, and the smoke module.
