NOPE! the person inside the suit will win make sure you know everything you can about the person that you are putting in side the suit. That's our future.

I want to know a few things. Will the robots, vehicles, planes, drones be autonomous or controlled. As a tank commander I would have instant access to the 360 view and the rough terrain, could the computer replicate that? How much will this sophistication cost? Would it be like the Tiger II tanks that were sophisticated, costly to make, and prone to breakdowns?

The best part about this article is the section about the exoskeleton in development. Robotic augmentation might be a feature of soldiers in the near future. How expenseive do these improvements make to the cost of doing battle ?

I don't think the drone issue, i.e. robotic machines on the battlefielld will be as commonplace as one might think. There is still a lot of trigger pulling that has to be accomplished by someone who can think outside of the box. Yes, I understand there are these machine learning routines, but will we really see a humanless military in the near future. I believe a lot of these pet projects likely will just remain lab rats. Combat is still a human endeavor that must be invested in and honed to perfection, that is likely not going to change.
