The US Marines have unmanned combat vehicles, too.

Another brick in the wall of uncontainable war.

The Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle program (click here) will support Marine Corps conduct of Ship To Objective Maneuver (STOM) through the use of a small-medium sized mobile robotic system to minimize risk and neutralize threats to Marines across the spectrum of conflict. Gladiator will perform scout/surveillance, NBC reconnaissance, direct fire, and personnel obstacle breaching missions in its basic configuration.
Essential Functions of the Gladiator system include:

• Day/night remote visual acuity equal to that of an individual Marine using current image intensifying or thermal devices
• Battlefield mobility capable of supporting dismounted units in all environments, including MOUT rubble (click here)
• Modular design and incorporation of standard interfaces for attachment of future mission payloads
• Remain operable and mission capable after being impacted by multiple 7.62mm small arms rounds at zero standoff distance.

The Gladiator Program is a U. S. Marine Corps initiative based on the Joint Army-Marine Corps Tactical Unmanned Vehicle (TUV) ORD originated by the Infantry School. MNS INT 12.1.1 dated 4 November 1993 validated the need for a tactical unmanned ground vehicle system and the Army approved the ORD in August 1995 and by the Marine Corps in May 1996....
