Guardium, developed by G-NIUS, is an Israeli unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) used to combat and guard against invaders along Gaza's border. It started off as a joint program between Israel Aerospace Industries and Elbit Industries and is now being used by Israeli forces. It can be used in either tele-operated or autonomous mode. Both modes do not demand human interaction for the vehicle to work; thus, giving the operator full audio and visual of the vehicle's surroundings at all times. Both modes of operation make it possible for the Israeli soldiers to fight off any attacker without actually having to risk their lives. When working in groups the vehicles are able to work together and cooperate within the network. The more unmanned ground vehicles out patrolling the area the less human resources needed while also guaranteeing a highly efficient deterrence whenever it is around. The joint program was terminated in April 2016, but the vehicle will remain in service with the Israel Defense Forces.
