Meet the Gladiator. This UGV is the first tactical unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) developed for the U.S. Marine Corps.

The Gladiator is a tele-operated, semi-autonomous vehicle, designed to increase human survival by neutralizing threats and reducing risk to Marines on the ground. The UGV will be equipped with remote, unmanned scout, reconnaissance, and surveillance capabilities.

When the Gladiator is out working in the field, a marine will be a safe distance away, controlling the UGV with a controller modelled from popular video game systems.

The first Marine Corps unit is scheduled to be equipped with production Gladiators in the third quarter of 2009.
