India's Own Iron Man? Drdo Labs To Develop Military Robots For Next Gen Warfare

[genie]

With futuristic warfare in mind, India is working to develop robotic soldiers as part of efforts to boost unmanned fighting capabilities, joining a select group of countries in this endeavour.

Under the project being undertaken by DRDO, robots would be developed with very high level of intelligence to enable them to differentiate between a threat and a friend.

These can then be deployed in difficult warfare zones, like the Line of Control (LoC), a step that would help avert the loss of human lives.

"We are going to work for robotic soldiers. We are going to look for very high level of intelligence in it than what we are talking today... It is a new programme and a number of labs are already working in a big way on robotics," DRDO chief Avinash Chander said in an interview.

The newly-appointed DRDO chief listed the project for development of robotic soldiers as one of his "priority thrust areas" saying that "unmanned warfare in land and air is the future of warfare. Initially the robotic soldier may be assisting the man."

He said in the initial phase of the project, the robotic soldier would be required to be told by the human soldier to identify an enemy or a combatant but "slowly in due course of time, the robotic soldier would be at the front end and the human soldier would be assisting him."

Nothing big...

Pakistan has been working on battle-robots for years now...

Only U.S can make deadly war robots as of now (or Japan..but they won't).

Other countries just don't have enough metallurgical skills...

Our world is going towards a scary path..very scary path..

Dear Pakistani Punjabi Brother,

Any evidence or news link to support your statement will be much appreciated, I know Pakistan Army/Nuclear capabilities are quite strong, but please provide evidences for battle-robotic's in Pak-army.

Pakistan has thousands of robots, they are called the Pakistani Taliban.

So far no robot has been created that can match a human soldier. But drone technology is getting better by the day and the day is not far when it will replace manned air planes. But the terminator has yet to be built.

India has just released the Termin-bhaiya 1.0. The Chinese are quaking in their boots.
