Israel Debuts Battlefield Robot to Support Troops
An Israeli defense contractor on Monday rolled out a remote-controlled armed robot that its maker says can keep human troops out of harm’s way.
Developed by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, the Rex MK II can be adapted for a variety of missions, ranging from gathering intelligence to logistics support, with the capacity to carry a load of up to 1.3 tons. Armed with an arsenal that includes .50 caliber and 7.62 mm machine guns, it can also help conduct attacks.
