Australia to acquire bulletproof Jaeger-C Swarming attack robots

The Australian military has contracted technology firm GaardTech to supply Jaeger-C unmanned combat vehicles featuring both anti-tank and anti-personnel capabilities.

Designed for an enemy ambush, the wheeled robot can silently observe targets with its autonomous image analysis function. When it identifies a potential target, the platform switches into either Goliath or Chariot mode, depending on whether the target is personnel or a vehicle.

In Goliath mode, the cutting-edge technology can carry out a kamikaze attack to destroy any enemy vehicle it detects. When it activates Chariot mode, the robot can engage targets using an undisclosed weapon. Reports say the robot carries a 7.62mm medium machine gun or a 6.5mm sniper rifle.
