| GUSS - Automated Support Vehicle for Marines |
| 2010-07-12 |
| Hawaii-based Marines for the first time yesterday began using robotic support vehicles designed to trail behind squads in unfriendly terrain to carry supplies and wounded Marines with no one at the wheel. Capt. Tim Bove sat in the passenger seat of one of four Ground Unmanned Support Surrogate vehicles yesterday and pointed to a computer screen designed to help each GUSS pick its way through the woods at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows. "This thing drives itself," Bove said. |
