Dogs of war: China touts killer robot ‘wolves'
BEIJING: China's latest gun-toting quadruped military 'wolf' robots are designed to stealthily approach enemies, fire precise shots on targets and work in rough terrain, state media said on Wednesday. State broadcaster CCTV said the robots, an upgrade from earlier robotic dog iterations, can replace human soldiers in dangerous conditions to reduce combat casualties. China has poured support into robotics, an area in which some experts say it might already have the upper hand over the United States. Its military has been keen to showcase its defense innovation — including weapons incorporating advanced technology like robodogs — during drills with countries like Cambodia. In a video posted by CCTV on Wednesday, the newest iteration of the robot 'wolves' carries a rifle on its back, marching into a smoke-filled battlefield. The agile machines climb up flights of stairs, carry heavy backpacks and launch attacks on dummies, clips showed. While they look almost identical to the military's robodogs, the 'wolves' have improved 'reconnaissance and strike capabilities,' CCTV said. 'They can navigate various terrains and carry out precision strikes from up to 100 meters (328 feet) away,' it added. During war, the robots would be able to operate like a real wolf pack, dividing tasks and coordinating with each other, state media said. At the front of the unit would be the 'pack leader,' responsible for gathering target information and transmitting reconnaissance imagery, CCTV said. Others would be in charge of shooting at enemies or carrying supplies and ammunition, it added. These new robots could signal that the future battlefield will be more automated and deadly, said Chong Ja Ian, an associate professor at the National University of Singapore. It is 'in part to instill national pride domestically, but also to intimidate potential adversaries externally,' Chong said.

20-40-40: behind the British Army's new military strategy
Tanks, armoured vehicles and attack helicopters will go into battle after sending a swarm of drones at the enemy under plans to reform how the British Army fights. The strategic defence review will set out a new way of fighting known as '20-40-40', which aims to reduce troop casualties. This 'autonomy drive' is part of innovation plans that will form a chunk of the review, which has been worked on for nearly a year. 'It is about pairing the old existing heavy metal with the new and making the army more lethal,' a Ministry of Defence source involved in drawing it up said. Expensive, heavy equipment such as tanks will make up roughly 20 per cent of fighting capability, positioned further from the front line

The two prototypes will expedite user familiarization, feedback, and the development of TTPs in preparation for FLRAA's transformational range and speed. Over time, these assets are likely to be converted into Flight Training Devices. Ryan Ehinger, Senior VP and FLRAA program director at Bell Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) stated the following on the development: 'I am incredibly proud of the joint team's execution, working together in parallel to the weapon system development to deliver this advanced capability.
