Man lightly injured in Rehovot attack
2009-01-09
One man was lightly injured in a terror attack in the central Israeli city of Rehovot on Friday afternoon. A Jenin resident armed with an axe arrived at the city's main city and threatened to harm passersby. He was arrested by policemen passing by before managing to hurt additional people.

#5  Still in beta

Actually pretty well into beta since there are several Talon/SWORDS deployed in Iraq. Word has it that the USMC likes what it sees in the Gladiator so far, too. What's not as advanced are the TTP*s to deploy them, at least by US troops, and in particular how more autonomous systems might be used offensively.

Israel deployed armed robots along the border in 2007. Like the Talon/SWORDS these have a human in the loop for firing offensively. I haven't tracked their success / problem rate with these, however.

#1  Ah, a Rehovot is a city in Isreal. I was thinking it was some kind of autonomous killbot.
