What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
The German Ministry of Defence is negotiating the potential purchase of over forty robotic systems for use by the army and air force in a ground reconnaissance role.
Up to 44 systems will be purchased as part the RABE (Roboter zur Aufklärung, Beobachtung und Erkundung im Ortsbereich) programme, roughly translated as Robot for Reconnaissance, Observation and Exploration in the Local Area.
As its name suggests the RABE system will be a ground-based, mobile, unmanned and remote controlled system. When not in use the robot will be carried by the soldier, likely in a backpack-type configuration.
