Army ground drones are framed as transport within the force

The £150 million ground-vehicle allocation suggests transport and payload support, with the Universal Carrier used as a historical comparison.

Notes

The land programme assigns £150 million to uncrewed ground vehicles. Heavy and medium vehicles are understood here primarily as payload carriers and trucks supporting the existing force. Their role invites comparison with a modern Universal Carrier. This appears more straightforward than the maritime proposal to replace complete warship roles with uncrewed vessels, particularly because the sea adds its own environmental hazards.
