How far away do you think autonomy is? Once that happens then even single units can go on missions, behind enemy lines.
Autonomy is a policy problem not a technology one. Machine vision to identify human shaped object is basically a solved problem, friend-or-foe might be a bit more difficult. But nobody wants to actually go down the rabbit hole of allowing a robot to choose automatically to end a human life.

Another remote weapon station for robot dogs and UCGVs developed by Kestrel Defense. It has built-in laser range finder and thermal imaging camera. Onboard AI target recognition can identify and track 6.5x3 meter targets at a distance of >3500 meters (over 2 miles).

A lot of UGVs, robot dogs, artificial bird and FPVs. I don't really know how you can detect that robot dog when it's camouflaged like that and so close to the ground.

As with anything, when it moves.

That said, easier to have an operator set a UGV to move slow enough that it doesn't draw attention, set it to auto and return 12hrs later rather than train an operator to have the discipline to stalk a few hundred metres over same 12hrs

You're from the army and, I'm sure, well above the rank of a corporal. In what combat scenarios do you put them to use or not? What scenarios do you consider worth sacrificing a machine costing probably more than $3,000?
