The Requirements for Future Military Robots Supporting Mobility

摘要

The paper deals with tasks related to engineer support for mobility, contemporary requirements for military robots and their possible future application for mobility support tasks. The result of this paper is an evaluation of requirements for engineer vehicles designated for the tasks of engineer mobility support and an analysis of the individual engineer tasks from the perspective of implementation by military robots in future operations. Knowledge obtained by studying scientific and professional literature was assessed by methods of analysis and deduction. Methods of induction and synthesis were used for exploring the possibilities of future application of military robots and for gathering partial conclusions. Information dealing with requirements for engineer means supporting mobility were gathered by the method of directed interviews with selected experts. The text provides a general insight into the issue of robotization of engineer tasks related to engineer support for mobility and requirements for military robots. Thus, it mediates a preview of the future performance of engineer mobility tasks and it can serve as a guidance for consideration of prospective investments into the Corps of Engineers.
