WASHINGTON \u2014 European military officials witnessed how an intelligence-collecting drone can work with an unmanned ground vehicle to perform reconnaissance and escort tasks thought critical to success in future fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense companies Elistair and Rheinmetall Canada<\/a> on Jan. 16 announced the successful demonstration of their paired Khronos drone and Mission Master SP robot before the cadre of officials at a test track in Quebec. The companies did not disclose a detailed list of attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Militaries the world over are increasingly interested in developing and deploying remotely guided or autonomous systems; machines can keep humans out of harm\u2019s way, augment already precious manpower and work around the clock in unpleasant conditions. Elistair\u2019s Khronos deploys from a small box and can stay aloft for 24 hours while tethered to a moving object, and Rheinmetall\u2019s eight-wheeled Mission Master SP is capable of following troops and shuttling smaller items such as sensors and weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
