Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) play a critical role in modern defense applications due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness and reduced risk to human operators. However, as the complexity of missions increases, so do the technical challenges associated with controlling mass characteristics and weight management.

Like unmanned aerial systems (UAS), armored unmanned combat vehicles (UGCVs) with autonomous operational capability are playing an increasingly critical role in modern defense applications due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness and reduced risk to human operators. However, as the complexity of missions increases, so do the technical challenges associated with controlling mass characteristics and weight management.

As with the systems mentioned above, the development of autonomous walking robots continues to progress. There are two- to four-legged platforms and also those that move on wheels or tracks. Here too, important key figures are the empty weight, the payload, the speed, the range and the power or fuel supply.
