Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for security in the skies in a similar manner as autonomous tanks and vehicles are used for security on ground. They help reduce the risk of losing human life in warfare. Tanks can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and are equipped with surveillance systems, sensors, cameras, and weapons. UAVs are connected with each other through the internet of things (IoT) and communicate with each other on IoT platforms using the cloud. The IoT is an emerging technology like artificial intelligence (AI), the cloud and big data.

Russia, close to the United States, is one of the nations driving advances in unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) innovation. Lately, JSC 766 UPTK, a producer of military equipment, sent their Uran-6 UGVs to Syria to incapacitate bombs and mines and investigate unknown territories. They’re also building a 10-ton battle UGV with a 30mm gun and 7.62mm automatic rifle to be used against tank rockets, just as the T-14, a semi-self-governing tank. UGVs are getting basic to ground missions, going about as eyes, ears and even battle troopers. By sending robots in first, people are kept securely out of risk. Their abilities likewise empower better nonmilitary personnel security, even in the outcome of battle, as they can defuse remaining bombs and mines [27].

Figure 3.7 Autonomous tanks.

Figure 3.7 shows the autonomous tanksin action. Autonomous tanks and vehicles can play an important role on the battle ground. Future wars will be the same as now, but human soldiers will be replaced by humanoid robots, tanks will be replaced by autonomous tanks, and ships and submarines will be replaced by autonomous ships and submarines.
