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

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.

* Tactics, Techniques and Procedures
