Introduction

Stark Industries is generally known for its contribution to weaponry and warfare as a whole. Iron man is
an integral part of our countries' defense against enemies because he is capable of containing multiple
enemies alone. Here at Stark Industries, we realize Iron Man's defensive potential is great, but limited.
Iron Man cannot defend against every opponent alone; he would be overwhelmed if he faced an army.
We are looking to further our vision of worldwide protection by entering the area of telerobotics. Our
vision is to replace the men and women of our military with semi-autonomous robots. These robots will
generally be controlled from a distance, but will have the capability of hauling an individual. The
development and implementation of this new technology will lead to less casualties and injuries from
combat.

Rationale and Significance

War is obviously a major problem that should be addressed. Everyone associated with the military
experiences the pain of war, the military members and their families. According to the Defense Casualty
Analysis System, a total of 4,411 of our military men and women have died as a result of the Iraqi
Freedom Operation. That amount of individuals killed is immense, but the additional emotional pain and
loss experienced from the families makes this statistic even more devastating. Our approach is to
alleviate the losses and employ Robots that will go to war instead of humans. The execution of our plan
will mean less deaths and disabilities due to war.

Plan of Work

As mentioned earlier, the plan is to substitute all our soldiers with robots that can be controlled from a
distance. We know that human error is inevitable, so we will not replace all of the soldiers immediately.
The initial phase of our plan involves gradually integrating our robots into battle, while some human
soldiers remain on a base nearby for security and reinforcement. Some of the incumbent soldiers will go
home and some will stay at that base for the duration of phase one. The initial phase will last 2 weeks,
then phase two will begin. Phase two entails total replacement of human soldiers with robots. All of the
human soldiers will be extracted and the control center will transition to the US. Phase three is the final
stage of our plan; the headquarters for controlling our robots will be in New York City. The full
implementation of our plan of fighting from a distance will be in action.

Conclusion

Everyone is important, especially those who sacrifice their lives' to protect our country. Our plan is to
reward past and present military members by replacing them with robots in battle. Soldiers will no
longer have to put their lives' on the line; instead they will direct robots to do the dirty work. The
benefits that come from the implementation of our plan are endless. The military members will no
longer be prone to death or injury, their families won't have to worry, and other positives will result
from our solution.
