Combat UGV: The Challenge of their Implementation in Combat Units

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of combat unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). The authors describe and analyse the current state of the issue. In the light of technological progress, the ambitions of selected states, and future trends, the authors define the needs for successfully implementing combat unmanned vehicles into the line-ups of combat divisions and units. They examine not only the field of application, but also the issue of education and training from a long-term perspective. The article hopes to support professional-scientific discussion on this topic and create the theoretical potential for starting the process of preparing and implementing combat UGV.

On the Involvement of CBRN and Medical Specialists in the Exploitation of Facilities Suspected for the Presence of Biological Material

“…Multinational division headquarters provides a concise description of each known/suspected objective, which incorporates intelligence information and assessment from the CBRN Defence staff. The preferred approach of infantry brigades when reaching the target is tasking a combat reconnaissance battalion that will seize the objective and monitor required perimeter via its advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS) capability and sensors (44,45). The reconnaissance battalion is provided with appropriate enablers, consistent with prevalent threats (an EOD team is assigned to provide support for expected explosives, and a CBRN reconnaissance platoon is assigned to conduct initial assessment of the site and its technical infrastructure).…”
