Abstract: Armored vehicles are being used in the defense sector for many years. The a rmored vehicles have been so efficient and productive and have survived these many years. In the year 1995, a new concept was introduced called modular vehicles, which means we can use one vehicle for almost all purposes. In the defense sector, the number of modular vehicles is less compared to the non-modular vehicles. If we choose the future with modular vehicles it is going to be the wisest decision which we take. The modular vehicles are better in every way when compared with non-modular vehicles. In this paper, we present a detailed survey on both the modular and non-modular vehicles used in the defense sector and we suggest a more advanced modular vehicle which can serve the defense sector for years without a need of replacement.
