Swarms Of Autonomous Kamikaze Robots Are Coming To A Warzone Near You
Swarms Of Autonomous Kamikaze Robots Are Coming To A Warzone Near You-September 2024

The Jaeger-C is a small, black, four-wheeled robot

Like it or not, the robot overlords are coming. And they have now been given a new weapon to smite humanity, in the form of a kamikaze robot capable of taking out a tank.

, and now Australian robotics firm GaardTech has brought the Call of Duty RC-XD to life. The company recently unveiled the Jaeger-C autonomous vehicle, and this week announced it would begin in 2022.

The Jaeger-C is a small, four-wheeled vehicle that looks like something straight out of BattleBots, with even more firepower.

According to a report from , the Jaeger-C can be deployed in three different ways with varying weaponry.

The Chariot spec robot is armed with a machine gun or rifle to ward off any baddies, while the Gaard spec can be used to offer security and surveillance.

But it’s the anti-armor Goliath spec that will surely grab the headlines, as it sees the robot engage in a kamikaze-style attack on any hostile vehicle.

To do this, the robot will race to the base of any bad guy’s car and deploy an unspecified weapon to destroy the target.

According to :

“The Jaeger-C carries an armor-piercing shaped charge; the size is unspecified, but it’s likely to be at least comparable to the 20-pound warhead on the FGM-148 Javelin and has the huge advantage of attacking the belly of the tank where the armor this thinnest.”

In order to deliver its lethal payload to the base of any hostile vehicle, the Jaeger-C must get up close and personal with the tank or truck. To stop it from being blown to smithereens before it reaches the target, GaardTech has heavily armored the remote control explosive.

If all this firepower wasn’t already scary enough, GaardTech confirmed that as well as being human-controlled, the Jaeger-C can also operate autonomously.

Let’s hope it can be trained to recognize threats .

Why is danger so sexy? I don’t know. But its siren song is screaming to me after watching just a few minutes of Rip To Cabo; one of the most visually-enticing off-road motorcycle videos I’ve ever seen. And that’s just the trailer. Off-road racer, TV personality and dirt biker Cameron...

Motorcyclist Doesn't Seem To Like Being Passed By A Bicycle
It’s impressive to see a guy on a bicycle hustling hard enough to catch and keep up with motorcycles. Even if it is downhill. But it looks like the (motor)biker here didn’t appreciate it. That or he’s just terrible at keeping control of his bike. Just a couple folks carving...

A NASCAR Team Is Building The First Internal Combustion Engine To Go Into Outer Space
While there’s been a number of cars launched into space – a couple human-driven ones on the moon, a bunch of robotic ones on Mars, for example – no internal-combustion piston engine has ever left Earth. That makes sense since, you know, they don’t work outside the atmosphere. Until now....
