A US Army M2A4 Bradley IFV was tested carrying multiple Swarmbotics AI FireAnt small UGVs, implying a crewed-uncrewed teaming concept where an armored vehicle transports and potentially controls a swarm of attritable ground drones. FireAnts are modular (kamikaze/EFP anti-armor, ISR, EW, relay) and designed for AI-enabled coordinated swarm behavior, which could extend reach and mass effects while keeping crews protected.
