    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage is operating a portable robotic control station from the bed of a pickup truck. The soldier is using a ruggedized control console with a monitor and joystick controls to operate what appears to be a small ground robot visible in the background on a gravel surface. This appears to be a training or demonstration exercise involving unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) technology.

    Army North Carolina National Guard Staff Sgt. Teri Staton, a member of the 430th Explosive Ordnance Detachment, practices maneuvering the Talon bomb search robot at Fort Pickett, Va., during the unit’s recent annual training exercise. During the unit’s annual training, more than a dozen of their unit’s bomb technicians practiced building and igniting "shots" using a variety of munitions during training at Range 4D on Fort Pickett. The 430th’s soldiers conducted hands-on classes in the basics of demolition, using percussion actuated neutralizers, modular demolition initiators, timed fuses, blasting caps and small arms and mortar rounds.
