Abstract
A review of some latest achievements in the area of military robotics is given, with main demands to management of advanced unmanned systems formulated. The developed Spatial Grasp Technology, SGT, capable of satisfying these demands will be briefed. Directly operating with physical, virtual, and executive spaces, as well as their combinations, SGT uses high-level holistic mission scenarios that self-navigate and cover the whole systems in a super-virus mode. This brings top operations, data, decision logic, and overall command and control to the distributed resources at run time, providing flexibility, ubiquity, and capability of self-recovery in solving complex problems, especially those requiring quick reaction on unpredictable situations. Exemplary scenarios of tasking and managing robotic collectives at different conceptual levels in a special language will be presented. SGT can effectively support gradual transition to automated up to fully robotic systems under the unified command and control.

Summary
Many military organizations take the help of military robots for risky jobs. The robots used in military are usually employed within integrated systems that include video screens, sensors, grippers, and cameras. The Army is expected to shrink from 540,000 people down to 420,000 by 2019. To keep things just as effective while reducing manpower, the Army will bring in more unmanned power, in the form of robots. Military robots are usually associated with the following categories: ground, aerial, and maritime, with some of the latest works in all three discussed in the paper, including those oriented on collective use of robots. The Spatial Grasp ideology and technology described in the rest of this paper can enhance individual and collective intelligence of robotic systems, especially distributed ones. It can pave the real way to massive use of advanced mobile robotics in human societies, military systems including and
