Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have great potential in the application of both civilian and military fields, and have become the focus of research in many countries. Environmental perception technology is the foundation of UGVs, which is of great significance to achieve a safer and more efficient performance. This article firstly introduces commonly used sensors for vehicle detection, lists their application scenarios and compares the strengths and weakness of different sensors. Secondly, related works about one of the most important aspects of environmental perception technology—vehicle detection—are reviewed and compared in detail in terms of different sensors. Thirdly, several simulation platforms related to UGVs are presented for facilitating simulation testing of vehicle detection algorithms. In addition, some datasets about UGVs are summarized to achieve the verification of vehicle detection algorithms in practical application. Finally, promising research topics in the future study of vehicle detection technology for UGVs are discussed in detail.

The presented paper describes Poland's approach to untilizing military UGVs, the history of applying UGVs in peace support operations conducted by the Polish Army and the future perspectives of development and applying UGVs by the Polish Armed Forces. The article is a part of the book which consists of a collection of opinions by authors from different countries and diverse research backgrounds, building on the first volume of this project with a multi-faceted review of the development of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) in military use.
