Technology has finally caught up with the Army's desire to field manned and unmanned vehicles on the battlefield.

Robotic Research LLC has been awarded a $49.7 million contract by the Army's top brass as part of its Expedient Leader Follower program. The goal, after years of losses due to improvised explosive devices, is to field Robotic Combat Vehicle technology within three years.
