The small 4×4 UGVs can be configured as one-way attack munitions, as well as for electronic warfare, surveillance and reconnaissance, and other missions. Bradleys acting as transports and controllers for swarms of UGVs like the FireAnt could open up important new operational possibilities.

Where the UGVs are seen stowed on the side is space that is often taken up by (https://www.twz.com/8144/u-s-army-m1-abrams-tanks-in-europe-are-getting-explosive-reactive-armor) explosive reactive armor (ERA) blocks. A Bradley could carry additional FireAnts internally and deploy them via the rear ramp. ()  A stock picture of a current-generation US Army M2A4 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle with explosive reactive armor (ERA) blocks fitted on the side, as well as on the front of the hull. US Army   How the roughly 70-pound FireAnts were controlled and otherwise employed during Pegasus Charge 3 is also unclear. Swarmbotics AI has said in the past that human operators are responsible for directing groups of the UGVs. In its press release in February, the company said a squad-sized Army unit had operated 10 FireAnts during the xTech Overwatch competition. Swarmbotics AI has also said that FireAnt has a significant degree of artificial intelligence (AI) driven autonomy to carry out assigned tasks. When networked together in a swarm, the UGVs are capable of “coordinated behavior across mixed teams and missions,” the company said previously, according to (https://interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/us-tank-hunting-robots) a story from Interesting Engineering  . TWZ has reached out for more information. As already mentioned, FireAnt is designed to be readily reconfigurable for different missions using modular payloads. The anti-armor configuration, which arms the UGV with an (https://taskandpurpose.com/tech-tactics/efp-explosively-formed-penetrator-projectile/) explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warhead, has received the most attention to date. In this role, FireAnt has to get close to its target to be effective. Swarming capability would be very beneficial here for overwhelming defenders, as well as just launching attacks on large groups of tanks and other armored vehicles across a broader area. ()  FireAnt UGVs armed with explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warheads. Swarmbotics AI   ()  Screen captures from a previous Swarmbotics AI video showing a FireAnt launching a kamikaze attack on a test target. Swarmbotics AI captures   With sensor and electronic warfare payloads, FireAnts could also help scout ahead, provide added general situational awareness, and even launch non-kinetic attacks. Swarmbotics AI has also raised the possibility of a counter-drone role for its UGVs. FireAnts could also conceivably act as signal relay nodes, which would also be especially useful when employing the UGVs in semi-autonomous swarms and/or for pushing them further forward of the main body of a friendly force. “Mass is our objective, by employing swarms of heterogeneous small sUGVs [small UGVs] we create multiple dilemmas for our adversaries at fractions of the cost of exquisite platforms,” Stephen Houghton, Swarmbotics AI’s CEO, said in a statement accompanying the company’s February release. It is worth noting here that the Army has previously demonstrated the ability of (https://www.twz.com/army-tests-uncrewed-m113-armed-with-laser-guided-rocket-launcher) the Bradley to serve as a forward control node for UGVs. Bradleys could also bring groups of FireAnts or similarly-sized designs to the front lines and hand off control to other nodes.  Previous Army-sponsored testing has also involved FireAnts deployed from larger UGVs, as seen in the video below. This demonstrates an additional layer of crewed-uncrewed teaming capability that could push the entire chain further forward on the battlefield. This, in turn, would help keep human personnel even further removed from potential threats. (U.S. Army Tests New Robotic ‘Tank Killer’ Swarm Vehicles thumbnail)  U.S. Army Tests New Robotic ‘Tank Killer’ Swarm Vehicles       (U.S. Army Tests New Robotic ‘Tank Killer’ Swarm Vehicles)   (https://www.twz.com/news-features/inside-the-effort-to-build-ukraines-ground-robot-arsenal) UGVs have already become a notable fixture in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This includes types in the same general size category as FireAnt configured for kamikaze attacks, as well as large ones armed with various anti-tank guided missiles, automatic grenade launchers, and machine guns. Various UGVs and (https://www.twz.com/sea/ukraines-newest-usv-is-a-super-sized-mothership-packed-with-anti-drone-interceptors) other uncrewed capabilities were the centerpieces of the annual Independence Day parade in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv just on Monday, as seen in the video below.   On the battlefields of Ukraine, UGVs are generally being employed via links with an operator, either in first-person direct or a third-person semi-autonomous mode, with the help of cameras on the vehicle. In that conflict, uncrewed ground systems face the same electronic warfare threats as their aerial counterparts, and designs with (https://www.twz.com/land/unmanned-ground-vehicles-controlled-via-fiber-optic-cables-being-tested-by-ukraine) hard-wired fiber-optic control links have been developed in response. (https://www.twz.com/news-features/drone-warfares-terrifying-ai-enabled-next-step-is-imminent) TWZ has also previously highlighted the impacts, in general, that the continued development and proliferation of AI-enabled automated target recognition capabilities and new autonomous technologies are already having on aerial one-way-attack drones. This applies, in broad terms, to uncrewed platforms on the ground, as well. “The key takeaway is that robot swarms are here to stay,” Drew Watson, Swarmbotics AI’s CTO, said in a statement in the February press release. “Working with 1st Cav in 2026 we’ll baseline concepts for hundreds of robots deployed on the X and at the breach.” It is still to be seen how FireAnt, specifically, may slot into the Army’s future force structure, overall. That being said, the image of the Bradley at Pegasus Charge 3 carrying a load of the UGVs does look to be a sign of things to come.
