Justin M. Pritchard, commander of 36th Eng. Bde., said autonomous systems have the potential to expand the Army\u2019s combat power while helping protect Soldiers during some of the most dangerous missions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAutonomous technologies multiply the Army\u2019s most vital warfighting advantage \u2014 our Soldiers,\u201d Pritchard said. \u201cWe have an obligation to leverage technology to breach deadly obstacles and deny the enemy terrain, thereby preserving our warfighters for the decisive operations where their judgment and boldness are indispensable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"centered-image\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"img-container\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Innovation on Fort Hood\" data-full-desc=\"U.S. Army Pfc.
