    Is SWORD the gun they have a picture of in the article? Or is it something else? Maybe built on top of guns? Just wondering how unmanned fits in here.

      I probably should have did a hyperlink for the S.W.O.R.D. system too, that’s my bad.

      Here’s a direct link to the appropriate website; https://sworddefense.com/spur/

      S.W.O.R.D. is just a firearm system that’s been designed to be attached to autonomous ground vehicles, it uses solenoids to trigger the firing of rounds, and it’s existence is spurned a lot of controversy both from the media, and from within NATO itself. having a rifle that you don’t need a human to operate scares a lot of people (rightfully, I might add), so the S.W.O.R.D. system isn’t very commonly used, and it usually only comes in front of the general public when some billion-dollar firm wants media attention.
