Mobile robots are increasingly replacing people in particularly dangerous situations and those at risk of losing their lives or health. One of such applications are military and preventive activities, where mobile robots are not only used for reconnaissance and patrol operations and the development trend is focused on the increasing use of mobile r...

... example of an American combat robot is Foster-Miller TALON [4]. It is a small, weighing about 45kg robot on a tracked chassis with the possibility of being equipped with an armament module in the TALON SWORDS version (Figure 2). The use of TALON SWORDS robots in military missions was tested in Iraq. ...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) recently gain more importance due to their use in military operations and the fight against terrorism. Military forces must follow and encourage the development of modern technologies to improve their tactical and strategic capabilities. It has been shown that in the 21st century, the countries that more extensively...
The present study is aligned with the concerns of different armies to identify solutions regarding the operational adaptation of military structures to the demands of current and future operational environments. The volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) character of the various operational environments determines the military structures...

In fact, they were being used by the British army in Northern Ireland since 1970s [60], to combat the IEDs threat imposed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and its different factions and descendants [61], [62], [63]. Such robot techniques (Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)) evolved and were also used by US-led NATO forces (including the UK) in Iraq and Syria [64], [65], in Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan [66], [67], [68], [69]. Also, France used them in Mali, Somalia and Nigeria [70], [71] against the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Qaeda operatives, and other terrorist factions (i.e Boko Haram, Al-Shabab). ...
Abstract—The recent digital revolution led robots to become
integrated more than ever into different domains such as agricultural,
medical, industrial, military, police (law enforcement) and
logistics. Robots are devoted to serve, facilitate and to enhance
the human life. However, many incidents have been occurring,
leading to serious injuries and devastating impacts such as the
unnecessary loss of human lives. Unintended accidents will always
take place, but the ones caused by malicious attacks represent a
very challenging issue. This includes maliciously hijacking and
controlling robots and causing serious economic and financial
losses. This paper reviews the main security vulnerabilities,
threats, risks and their impacts, and the main security attacks
within the robotics domain. In this context, different approaches
and recommendations are presented in order to enhance and
improve the security level of robotic systems such as multi-factor
device/user authentication schemes, in addition to multi-factor
cryptographic algorithms. We also review the recently presented
security solutions for robotic systems.
