A selection of the latest air and land unmanned vehicles and weapon sights technologies currently being tested and evaluated for future operational use has been unveiled to MOD employees. Military and civilian personnel at Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) in Bristol were recently treated to a demonstration of various items which could improve the capability of UK troops in theatre. Amongst the items the personnel saw was a small hand-held wheeled robot equipped with real-time cameras that can be thrown into a building to show troops what is inside. The personnel were also shown an easy to launch, remote-controlled, four-rotor-headed helicopter, complete with surveillance equipment, sending real-time images back to a wristwatch monitor or to specially modified goggles; and clip-on lightweight thermal weapon sights for spotting targets at night.
