New Delhi: Israel last month deployed in southern Lebanon what is said was the world’s first robotic combat task force. Based on Human-Machine Integration (HMI) formation, it performs complex, high-risk operations up to the battalion and even brigade levels.

Using unmanned systems alongside manned ones in combat is seen as a transformation in warfare.
