Remotec TAGS

While I am all in favour of the deployment of Northrop Grumman's Tactical Amphibious Ground Support unmanned vehicle I cannot help but imagine a world where the last humans take shelter from the machines.

"TAGS is currently being readied for use soon in Iraq to support perimeter security and other surveillance requirements of U.S. forces," said Patrick Goode, business development manager for Remotec. "This first-ever deployment of an autonomous, unmanned ground vehicle in a combat zone, will reduce the manpower requirements for each site significantly, allowing troops to focus on other missions."
