Chapter 15 - Heavy vehicle defense procurement use cases and system design using blockchain technology

Abstract

Both light and heavy vehicle technologies are required for the battlefield. This work studies the usage of heavy vehicle technologies, their transportation, and other applications in the defense landscape. Various case studies that explore vehicle technologies in the defense landscape are examined. These case studies provide the latest technological trends in different geographical regions. The proposed system eliminates one of our society’s fundamental problems: the need for a middleman. That is, we aim to propose and simulate a reliable, trustworthy, and robust network for peer-to-peer connection. This connection runs on the idea of mutual trust and dependency. The blockchain concept is used and its requirements in the field of defense procurement are depicted. Simulation of this work is performed using various resources at our disposal to ensure a working and reliable blockchain.
