The Army is soliciting bids from contractors for a high-tech grid of weapons, sensors and command stations that would enable soldiers to lay clusters of anti-tank munitions in the forward areas of the battlefield, leave them unattended and control them remotely from the rear.
This is the basic idea behind a program called Raptor, an "intelligent" combat outpost consisting of a suite of munitions, sensors, a communication system and a control station. The munition for Raptor would be an upgraded version of the Hornet, also known as the wide-area munition. Hornet is a smart weapon that detects, classifies, tracks and engages ground armored vehicles.
