Black Knight (Unmanned Combat Vehicle)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Black Knight is a prototype Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle designed by BAE Systems. It is armed with a turret-mounted 30mm gun along with a coaxial machine gun as well. Although the armored vehicle can be controlled from a command center, the Black Knight does feature autonomous functions in the turret and can also plan a route without hitting obstacles on its own. If necessary, the Black Knight can also be controlled by a Dismounted Control Device, or DCD. Information is relayed to and viewed by the Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV), or to the DCD in the latter case.
