1. Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle
(Tank Robot)
The reason for developing these kinds of vehicles is ; if a “robot” or
“machine” can do something a soldier can do, then there’s no reason to put
the soldier into battle. Here’s a situation where tech kills and saves lives at
the same time. The vehicle will cut down on deaths and casulties in the war.
Even if the autonomous military vehicle(UGCV) replaces a soldier, it must
have an extraordinary capability to surmount terrain obstacles as well as
survive and recover from impacts with obstacles and unpredictable terrain.
They must also be fuel efficient and highly reliable so that they can conduct
long missions with minimal logistical support.

2. Operation:
This (UGCV) can be programmed to move to a particular Distance
and be able to shoot at a particular target as per the co-ordinates given by the
control base. The complete operation is controlled by using a PIC
Microcontroller (PIC 16F877). The commands from the base are received
through a RF Wireless Receiver which operates in 433.92 MHZ. After
Receiving a command, it is decoded first (Direction changing command or
Firing command) and the actions are taken accordingly. For firing
command the Pointer is first positioned at the target and then initiating the
firing sequence. All these movements are controlled using a DC stepper
Motor.
Moreover AI (Artificial Intelligence) is also incorporated in the
vehicle. The vehicle can deviate the path if it finds any intruder or obstacles
in its path. It can able to classify the obstacle as a human or just obstacle by
employing a PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor).
