Will robots scurry about the battlefield providing fire support for the Army?
The Army wants a Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher:
For the CAML effort, the Army is interested in autonomous vehicles that could move around the battlefield and shoot missiles at adversaries. The service is aiming to boost its firepower and capacity while minimizing risk to soldiers.
Officials envision the system as an air-transportable platform that can launch offensive and defensive fires — augmenting or potentially replacing some of the service’s existing weapons launchers.
Is this capability what CAML seeks?
Sounds like a mobile version of my decades-old transportable fire support suggestion during the FCS panty-flinging era that Military Review published (starting on p. 28).
