ground vehicle 2002 - First UAV Dogfight –

except it also bombed targets rather than just
getting information.

8. Robots of today
 Dragon Runner
 TALON
 Packbot

9. Dragon Runner
 Built for urban combat.
 Has four wheels,15 inches long and 5 inches
in height.
 Designed for areas too dangerous or
inaccessible for human soldiers.
 Main use is to relay information such as
pictures back to the soldier.

missions ranging from reconnaissance to
combat.
 Grenade launcher, machine gun
and rifle can be placed on this
robot.

11. Packbot
 Smaller and lighter than the TALON
 Man-portable
 Controlled by a Pentium processor
 Packbot has a GPS system, an electronic
