«Breaking News» Army is testing remote-controlled mini sniper tanks that look like something out of robot wars

Looking like something from TV's robot wars, this is the Army's latest battlefield weapon.

The remote-controlled mini-tank carries a gun and can be used to attack an enemy without putting troops at risk.

Called Titan Strike, it has been undergoing initial tests on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, firing a laser beam to simulate live rounds of ammunition.

It is controlled remotely by a soldier using a tablet computer to plot locations on a map and can also be driven remotely by joystick. 

Cameras allow the operator to see down the barrel of the gun so they can decide when to fire.

Titan Strike works alongside Titan Sentry, an unmanned observation vehicle fitted with daytime and thermal imaging cameras and an extendable mast containing radar equipment.

The Sentry allows forces to identify enemy positions while remaining under cover. The Strike can then be dispatched to take out targets.

The weapons, developed by defence technology group QinetiQ, are being tested as part of a £5million exercise, Autonomous Warrior, involving more than 70 futuristic machines including 6in nano drones.

The exercise involves more than 200 people, including units from the Royal Marines, RAF, and the US Army. It is set to last four and a half weeks. 

As part of the experiment, the Army is also testing the first driverless armoured fighting vehicle, the Warrior.

Brigadier Kev Copsey, the Army's head of future force development, said he believes Britain will never use fully autonomous robots that could use lethal force without a 'human in the loop'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
