The Black Knight is a prototype unmanned ground combat vehicle (UGCV) designed by BAE Systems.
They showcased the Black Knight's new attributes in an annual experiment named Air Assault Expeditionary Force (AAEF) in Fort Benning, GA. As soon as the vehicle passed safety trials, it underwent testing during the fall of 2007.
Its main role is to insure the safety of those around the vehicle and after each task, it needs to be remotely parked in a certain location like a garage or onto a truck.
The Black Knight's computer system allows it to perform a variety of functions by itself such as moving the turret, navigation, and planning a route.

The biggest challenge is making sure that the vehicle is safe without affecting its capability to do certain functions, as well as focusing on how to create the tank in a more efficient and easy way.
