SWORD is an acronym I'm guessing? What does it stand for?

See SWORDS.
It can travel almost anywhere, through sand, snow, underwater (out to depths of 100 feet), climb stairs (a feat for any modern robot) and all the while showing the operator, up to 1,000m away, the world in colour, black and white, infrared, and night vision.
There are a variety of different weapons that can be placed on the SWORDS; M16, 5.56mm SAW M249, 7.62mm M240, Barrett .50 cal M2 machine gun, a six barrelled 40mm grenade launcher or quad 66mm M202-A1 anti-tank rocket launcher.

On the firing range, these two-foot little high robots are lethal. With an efficiency that a human could never replicate, the SWORDS are the snipers motto, "one shot, one kill".
Maybe the military will design a robot which can produce other robots by itself. Then all we'd need is a way to transfer human conciousness into them.

And then...they could take over the WORLD!

EDIT: When you see these things being called Swords, don't you think of that cool movie Screamers? Those things were called Swords too!
