The US Army is pruning 40 percent of its ground robotics fleet,
removing obsolete or excess robots before it goes to a single ground
machine, my Defense News colleague Joe Gould writes. Gould interviewed folks from the Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CS&CSS).
The Army plans to refurbish 1,477 of its ground robots, which is
about 60 percent of the total fleet, said Michael Clow, PEO CS&CSS
strategic communication lead.
“After reset, current robots will be fielded to units to use as
bridge capabilities until final programs of record are fielded, at which
time the reset robots will be replaced by the program of record
equipment,” Clow said.
