The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencys (DARPA) Squad X Experimentation program demonstrated the ability to extend and enhance the situational awareness of small, dismounted units. The US Marine squads improved their ability to synchronize maneuvers, employing autonomous air and ground vehicles to detect threats from multiple domains – physical, electromagnetic, and cyber – providing critical intelligence as the squad moved through scenarios, DARPA said in a statement late November this year
Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) has been selected to participate in the first phase of the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Subterranean (SubT) Challenge program as part of an international team led by the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). The DARPA SubT Challenge is focused on advancing technologies that will enhance the ability to rapidly map, navigate and search subterranean environments through both systems and virtual competitions
Lockheed Martin and the Office of US Naval Research are exploring how to apply artificial intelligence to train robots to independently oversee and optimize 3-D printing of complex parts. Soon robots like this could make decisions on how to build more effective 3-D printed parts
BAE Systems designed collaborative robots, ‘cobots will be tested on the Typhoon production line by the end of the year. The cobotic workstation – designed to support people with complex manufacturing of combat aircraft- is fitted with a range of digital technology and will be piloted at the companys Warton, Lancashire site to work alongside manufacturers building high-tech systems for cutting-edge combat aircraft, the company said in a statement Wednesday
The South Korean military is looking to forming units to incorporate personnel and unmanned combat systems amid concerns of declining manned forces in the countrys defense services, local media reports. According to

"Within a span of years, most of the vehicles used by advanced armies will be autonomous, with artificial intelligence capabilities introducing a great change into this sphere
NASA has teamed up with the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to build robots that can not only refuel and repair satellites, but also sabotage enemy spacecraft in the event of space war. These robotic satellites, known as ‘service stations in orbit, could improve the lifespan of satellites
Endeavor Robotics has delivered 44 FirstLook robots to the German Government. Endeavor passed field tests that compared FirstLook's performance capabilities against the German Government's stated requirements
South Korean military has announced plans to develop ‘Frankenmissile to powerful enough to counter North Koreas missile and nuclear capabilities. The Army in its National Assemblys Defense Committee annual parliamentary report stated that they would develop ‘Hyunmoo IV surface-to-surface missile powerful enough to destroy North Koreas underground military facilities,
