At the center of this design is the Marker UGV, or uncrewed ground vehicle. Resembling a miniature tank with treads and turrets, the Marker is as much a test bed as it is a machine expected to see battle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Defence is discussing the eventual use of robotic swarms in combat\u2014 and Marker is definitely the platform to test that out,\u201d says Bendett, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at CNAS. \u201cAs envisioned, it will be able to launch swarms of UAVs or loitering munitions, making it a truly versatile robotic platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The development parallels many robotic programs under way in the United States. It is remarkable, too, that both nations have hit upon swarms of ground robots as a way to supplement existing human formations in combat.
