Autonomous Defence Vehicle for Precise Targeting and Mission Accomplishment – A Survey of Various Technologies

This paper presents an idea proposed for an autonomous defence vehicle that helps in targeting a stationary or moving enemy object that remains precise to its real-time location. Tasks like providing supplies and rescuing people to and from places under harsh conditions can be achieved autonomously. Technologies namely Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Telematics, Big Data and Image Processing, Missile Guidance System, System Engineering, Internet of Things and Renewable Fuel makes it possible to build the vehicle. Use of electricity as renewable fuel provides greater run-time efficiency and no emissions. The paper briefs on the technologies, complexities and the approach towards engineering such a vehicle. An autonomous defence vehicle would be the future of defence technologies. It empowers the border patrolling and accomplishment of tasks risking human life.
