Everyone is forgetting that no war is won without boots on the ground. autonomous devices are simply support weapons. Support weapons need support and that is boots on the ground.

[@billfitzpatrick6202]

Boots on the ground are nothing more than targets for the enemy! What's needed today is what you are seeing, along with tactical backup, staying ahead of our enemies has to be a priority when faced with the extreme sized forces I hope we never have to face!

The ripsaw was first seen in the GI-Joe Movie with the Rock. He drove it. It's a Cheaper than a tank or training of a soldier. Drones and FPV's have Changed the battle field like how tanks did 100 years ago. Must Keep Up!

[@jbrowne1948]

Well good comments all. No system is perfect and can be destroyed, but, I can see many uses for the Ripsaw and it can save lives by being unmanned. I like how it has its own drone helicopter and ground crawler. Perhaps an anti-drone weapons system can be developed as an add on package. Creativity and imagination are key. Very fine start.

[@ericbrammer2245]

I defer to negative comments, by this simple idea; Use it Wisely! It has abilities not seen since the Hellcat Tank-Destroyer. It's almost 'Quiet' and could get much more silent. It has a Low Thermal Image, as well. And, lastly, It's a LOT QUICKER than most other craft out-there. The Studebaker 'Weasel' was a Recon Favorite in WW-2, because, it was amphibious, quiet, quick and Nimble, and 101st AB used it to great advantage, even-though, it was usually Un-Armed! Give it GUNS, and, the Battle-of-the-Bulge wouldn't have been.... This Is, that; and in a Modern war-front, it DOES NOT ALWAYS need a Human on-board. Not a Game-changer it was a decade ago, but, it'll add to Flexible Response.

[@echomande4395]

My first thought is whether the Ripsaw can mount the Skyranger 30 or 35mm AAA turret. A good and mobile anti-drone and anti-helicopter 'Flakpanzer Junior' would certainly be welcome, especially if it can be remotely operated ir work semi-autonomous.

[@deadwingdomain]

You can literally put anything on it. The 30mm chain gun is the current proposal

@@williamlloyd3769 The films production team bought an existing early model Ripsaw from Howe and Howe. They had a lot of trouble with it, and were frustrated. But, honestly, I never heard what caused the issues.
