  • Abstract

    The study evaluates advanced sensor technology that powers autonomous vehicle systems for armored vehicles through solutions designed ‎to confront extreme operational threats posed by diverse terrain conditions and climate variations, along with moving surface obstacles. ‎Sensor fusion techniques, when combined with diverse platforms, produce enhanced performance alongside reliable outcomes according to ‎the research findings. Sensors using LiDAR units combined with RADAR, together with cameras and GPS, and Inertial Measurement Units, ‎form the foundation for real-time operational decisions that drive automated barrier evasion capabilities. The approach delivers optimal ‎performance across different situations by resolving problems that affect individual sensors, which include interrupted GPS signals and ‎restricted camera field of view. Real-time navigation protocols rely on the SLAM and obstacle detection machine learning frameworks to ‎build adaptable route maps that support optimized path planning functions. This research develops an integrated technological framework ‎showing how various elements work together to enhance autonomous system operation efficiency while ensuring safety. The research ‎reveals how AI, together with machine learning, allows superior sensor combination and automated decision-making capabilities within ‎autonomous systems. Sensor technology development has led to substantial autonomous navigation system capabilities that promise future ‎use for military functions, logistics, transportation operations, and disaster relief work. Future research will aim to improve computational ‎processing speed while expanding sensor network capabilities‎.
