The Pentagon is testing war robots that can hunt in packs without GPS and find battlefield targets on their own. Humans still call the shots.

Once the uncrewed ground vehicles located targets without GPS navigation, the human operator decided the next steps.

The Pentagon's research arm tested how ground drones could be sent out in groups to look for and hunt down targets while keeping a human operator in the loop to make decisions. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, program examined how uncrewed ground vehicles, or UGVs, could quickly drive, map out terrain, and gather information on their own in contested environments. Lessons will inform ongoing developments in uncrewed technologies across the US military, officials said. Last month, DARPA experimented with four autonomous UGVs at an exercise at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as part of its Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency, or RACER, program.
