NEW STORIES OF AUGMENTED SOLDIERS AND THE FUTURE OF WARFARE. Near future, hard science fiction, and imagined military robotics and artificial intelligence in all domains of warfare (land, sea, air, space, and cyber) over the next fifty years as only Baen can do it. The future of cybernetic warfare. Robosoldiers. They take many forms, from disembodied AI to humanlike androids and more. But at their cores beat the cybernetic hearts of warriors! In these stories of hard military SF, you will journey to the battlefields of tomorrow with the veterans who have been there and the researchers developing the next phase of battle and get a glimpse into the future of warfare. New stories from David Drake, Richard Fox, Weston Ochse, Martin L. Shoemaker, T.C. McCarthy, Brad R. Torgersen, and more! Contributors: M.T. Reiten Martin L. Shoemaker Doug Beason Richard Fox Sean Patrick Hazlett Monalisa Foster Phillip Pournelle Weston Ochse David Drake T.C. McCarthy Brad R. Torgersen Stephen Lawson Philip Kramer At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About the contributors: [P]rose as cold and hard as the metal alloy of a tank . . . rivals Crane and Remarque . . .”—Chicago Sun-Times on David Drake “Brad Torgersen can write something technical and complex, yet still give it real emotional depth. He's one of the most talented authors I've ever read.”—Larry Correia on Brad R. Torgersen “A well written novel that makes you consider the costs of war in very personal terms.” —SF Signal on T.C. McCarthy “Shoemaker's story of an artificial life coming to terms with its own emotional world finds its place among the long and varied tradition of explorations of robot–human relations. . . . Recommended for any reader, genre or otherwise, looking for a pleasant and engaging read.”—Booklist on Martin L. Shoemaker

The modern battlefield is fraught with danger. Technology is being used to keep soldiers and other personnel safe, increasingly by removing them from combat zones. But will future military technology be used to keep people safe, or to harm more people? Read all about it in Robot Soldiers and Other Military Tech!

Soldier-robot teams will be an important component of future battle spaces, creating a complex but potentially more survivable and effective combat force. The complexity of the battlefield of the future presents its own problems. The variety of robotic systems and the almost infinite number of possible military missions create a dilemma for researchers who wish to predict human-robot interactions (HRI) performance in future environments. Human-Robot Interactions in Future Military Operations provides an opportunity for scientists investigating military issues related to HRI to present their results cohesively within a single volume. The issues range from operators interacting with small ground robots and aerial vehicles to supervising large, near-autonomous vehicles capable of intelligent battlefield behaviors. The ability of the human to 'team' with intelligent unmanned systems in such environments is the focus of the volume. As such, chapters are written by recognized leaders within their disciplines and they discuss their research in the context of a broad-based approach. Therefore the book allows researchers from differing disciplines to be brought up to date on both theoretical and methodological issues surrounding human-robot interaction in military environments. The overall objective of this volume is to illuminate the challenges and potential solutions for military HRI through discussion of the many approaches that have been utilized in order to converge on a better understanding of this relatively complex concept. It should be noted that many of these issues will generalize to civilian applications as robotic technology matures. An important outcome is the focus on developing general human-robot teaming principles and guidelines to help both the human factors design and training community develop a better understanding of this nascent but revolutionary technology. Much of the research within the book is based on the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED), U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) 5-year Army Technology Objective (ATO) research program. The program addressed HRI and teaming for both aerial and ground robotic assets in conjunction with the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Research and Development Center (TARDEC) and the Aviation and Missile Development Center (AMRDEC) The purpose of the program was to understand HRI issues in order to develop and evaluate technologies to improve HRI battlefield performance for Future Combat Systems (FCS). The work within this volume goes beyond the research results to encapsulate the ATO's findings and discuss them in a broader context in order to understand both their military and civilian implications. For this reason, scientists conducting related research have contributed additional chapters to widen the scope of the original research boundaries.

In the early years of robotics and automated vehicles, the fight was against nature and not against a manifestly intelligent opponent. In military environments, however, where prediction and anticipation are complicated by the existence of an intelligent adversary, it is essential to retain human operators in the control loop. Future combat systems will require operators to control and monitor aerial and ground robotic systems and to act as part of larger teams coordinating diverse robotic systems over multiple echelons. The National Research Council organized a workshop to identify the most important human-related research and design issues from both the engineering and human factors perspectives, and develop a list of fruitful research directions. Interfaces for Ground and Air Military Robots summarizes the presentations and discussions from this workshop.

Public domain report on speech control of military robots analyzed and enhanced by PageKicker Robot Jellicoe.Twenty-one enlisted Soldiers supported this user-based evaluation of robot controller options: speech control versus a manual wrist-worn mouse, crossed with two types of visual display options—grid versus object segmentation (OS). Performance on the maneuver course showed slower times for the speech controller, across both levels of workload. The slower times for the speech control can be attributed to the percent of times that the speech control had to be repeated. In addition, the two visual display options were evaluated using a search lane that was cluttered with objects. In this event, the grid display was significantly faster. The OS display was much slower when used with the speech controller. Driving errors were higher in the OS-speech controller condition. Soldier feedback with regard to user experience showed positive regard for the concept of speech control, particularly for its contribution to hands-free operation and maintenance of situation awareness. Improvements for speech control were suggested with regard to robot responsiveness, robot maneuvering, and staying within course limits. The OS display also needs improvement with regard to object labeling updates. As it is currently configured, the labels of the objects can change while the robot is moving, particularly in a cluttered environment.
