The paper presents the design and development of Solar Unmanned Ground Vehicle.Mounted on the UGV is a wireless camera that translate audio/video signal from the field to the control unit which is used to navigate the vehicle in different directions and a GPS receiver that gives the geographical hydrangea red sensation coordinates of the vehicle in longitude and latitude.The vehicle is powered by solar panel which provides adequate power for 10hours when there is sunshine and a battery which compliment in the absence of sunshine.

The exact location of the UGV in terms of its longitude and latitude (i.e.Lat: 1036.

8637N, Lon: 00722.4956E.) is given by the gps receiver.

Open circuit Voltage (VOC) from the solar panel was measured to be 12.24V.Finally the coverage distance for which the constructed UGV bilstein shocks jeep xj was able to communicate with the control unit was 1000m, above this distance there was loss of communication between the ugv and the control unit.
