There is evidence of the increasing military call upon the ability to integrate sensors, vision interest in RAS technologies in the civil construction imaging, actuators, end-effector manipulation, computer sector being reflected in construction efforts of many control and human interface for operations in military forces. In particular, Army or ground-based unstructured, difficult and hazardous conditions. Army forces are frequently called upon to conduct construction tasks for enhancing force protection construction tasks as part of military operations, include such earthmoving tasks as filling of protective tasks which could be partially or fully aided by the barriers (HESCO baskets), building dirt bunding employment of RAS technologies. Along with recent structures, as well as anti-tank ditches and trenching. advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber- For such tasks a variety of heavy construction physical system infrastructure, it is essential to machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, examine the current maturity, technical feasibility, graders and articulated dump trucks etc.
