A Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) refers to an unmanned ground vehicle that is designed for military applications, primarily engaging in combat scenarios. These vehicles are equipped with various technologies, including sensors, cameras, and weapons systems, enabling them to perform tasks such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and direct engagement with enemy forces. RCVs are designed to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, allowing them to navigate and make decisions in complex environments without direct human control. The primary goal of robotic combat vehicles is to enhance operational capabilities, reduce risks to human soldiers, and improve effectiveness in combat situations. They may vary in size, from smaller units suited for reconnaissance to larger platforms capable of carrying significant armament and performing support roles on the battlefield.
