1/3 Unmanned by 2015 Congressional Mandates
PUBLIC LAW 106-398-OCT. 30, 2000, NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001
SEC. 220. UNMANNED ADVANCED CAPABILITY COMBAT AIRCRAFT AND GROUND COMBAT VEHICLES.
(a) GOAL.-It shall be a goal of the Armed Forces to achieve the fielding of unmanned, remotely controlled technology such that-
(1) by 2010, one-third of the aircraft in the operational deep strike force aircraft fleet are unmanned; and
(2) by 2015, one-third of the operational ground combat vehicles are unmanned.
Actron Robots has three contracts waiting for Wash DC to catch up. Read this:
Lt. General Rick Lynch of Ft Hood, TX says Army needs more and better Robots.
Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch of Ft Hood wants the robots Actron Robot produces. This matches with the proposal we now have with SPAWAR in San Diego and the DOD thru the Congressional Armed Services Commitee.
It is too bad an Actron Wolf Security Robot wasn't on duty. The resent massacre at Ft Hood could have been nipped in the bud.
