Robot tanks are getting bigger, with more firepower

The video discusses the development of semi-autonomous robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) by the US Army, which are designed for future battlefields. These RCVs come in light, medium, and heavy variants, each serving different roles such as scouting, combat, and artillery. While partially autonomous, human operators will control the vehicles' weapons and navigation in combat zones. Additionally, RCVs are equipped to counter drone threats using anti-drone lasers and electronic jamming.

What is the primary purpose of the semi-autonomous robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) discussed in the video?

• To explore outer space

• To replace human soldiers entirely

• To lead the charge in future battlefields

• To perform maintenance tasks

Which of the following is NOT a type of RCV being developed by the US?

• Underwater exploration vehicles

• Powerful artillery vehicles

• Heavily armed mini tanks

• Lightweight scouting vehicles

What is the role of humans in operating the RCVs' weapons?

• Humans only provide maintenance

• Humans are not involved at all

• Humans remotely operate the weapons

• Humans manually load the weapons

How do RCVs counter swarms of drones?

• By deploying small nets

• By using anti-drone lasers and electronic jamming

• By sending out decoy drones

• By shooting them down with missiles

What happens when RCVs reach the front lines?

• They return to base

• They self-destruct

• Humans take over control

• They become fully autonomous
