Pentagon Backs $24M Humanoid Robot Push for Modern Warfare
Published on April 24, 2026.
The Pentagon has awarded Foundation Future Industries a $24 million contract to test powerful humanoid robots. The company's “Phantom” robots are designed to infiltrate hostile locations and reduce risks to U.S. forces. CEO Sankaet Pathak and COO Eric Trump believe this innovation is crucial to preserving America's competitive advantage in combat. The robots combine strength with natural movement, allowing for better interaction within human environments. Additional advancements are already in development, and Pathak suggests that the technology could extend beyond military use into sectors like construction and disaster response.
