Combat Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV´s) are platforms designed for the replacement of the human element on the battlefield. Their autonomy depends on their respective level of technical development. Many armies invest varying levels of effort into the development of prototypes and solutions of UGV´s. They have various abilities and limits. Th is article uses open sources while identifying the current global state of perspectives in the short term. The authors are convinced that artificial intelligence, military robotics, and its implementation into operational structures can disrupt the process of conflict and will have a strong impact on the ratio of forces in regions throughout the world.
