Perhaps sooner, I read an article on a Japanese scientist that was working on something similar with pictures and it looked quite effective. the other interesting part for me was this:
The program is focused on seven defense vehicles that will be fitted with heavy duty artillery, some manned, others automated. The self-operated vehicles will have robots capable of doing dangerous tasks like disarming IEDs and bringing wounded troops to safety in the line of fire.
