(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Israel Aerospace Industries has developed two new unmanned ground vehicles: a D9 Panda bulldozer and Robattle, an engineering vehicle-robot hybrid. The unmanned D9 can maneuver on rough terrain, pinpoint mines and explosive devices, and construct earthworks to defend forces in enemy territory. It can also extract other armored vehicles stranded under fire in enemy terrain and demolish buildings where terrorists are hiding. The Robattle appears to be a real life Transformer. It contracts or expands according to need, has claws capable of picking up and shaking large suspicious objects such as cars suspected of containing explosives, and has outstanding maneuverability in mountainous or obstacle-fraught terrain. Both vehicles boast dozens of sensors capable of scanning their environments to a radius of hundreds of meters to locate the enemy and bypass any obstacles.
