Automation doesn't mean soldiers will be replaced by machines, but it could mean they'll be working alongside them in future conflicts, the Army's chief of staff said Tuesday. Defense budgets in the future are going to be pretty much flat, Gen. James McConville said during a talk at the Atlantic Council.
At present, the Army uses robots for a wide range of roles - including bomb disposal and reconnaissance. In the future, the Army is developing (or has created) entire classes of robots for battlefield usage, in categories defined as light, medium, and heavy.

Robots can replace soldiers in the military and can soon become the norm.
- Machines like robots and drones are estimated to replace at least a fifth of the military making it possible to reduce the number of human soldiers from 5,000 to 4,000.
- The machines can be deployed for anti submarine operations, situating mines, technological warfare's, war damage control, fire control, strike missions, refueling, etc.
- War is expensive, and military effectiveness relies absolutely on the machinery that is invested in it.
- In addition to the cost of delivering troops, in the course of combat operations, there is an additional cost of training, accommodation, cooking, and providing soldiers with war equipment.
- The expenses of veterans programs, medical care covers, and pensions that continue to pile up also come after the war.
- Robotic soldiers proponents argue machine controlled troops will not only save human soldiers from harmful combat, but will also lower military troops' operating and maintenance expenses.
