Elbit Systems Viper Portable Combat Robot

Elbit Systems Viper Portable Combat Robot is the newest member of the Elbit unmanned system family. It is used in war to go in to where men should not go, such as to unarm a bomb or do more important missions. It can do things such as provide support to infantry on operations.

Being only 9 inches tall and 25 pounds makes it highly efficient in getting into places where men cannot go. Its small form can go into enemy territory easier then men without being spotted. Only taking one person to control by a hand operated control panel and helmet mounted display, making it easy to use and you can use it on the go. It was developed under the Israel Ministry of Defense Research & Development Directorate and is currently in prototype stages.
This type of robot will probably make the difference overall in space exploration since these are already being used. Having a smaller robot could mean that it could get farther in space which could put us out into the universe. Although the problem with this is that it is unable to carry the equipment needed for space exploration. This type of robot will definitely have a large impact in space exploration like they already have, and as technology increases this robot will go farther then ever into space and maybe make the greatest discoveries ever, although that is probably still far in the future.
