This paper describes the results obtained by deploying on a stock vehicle the Hi-tech Robotic Systemz Ltd Unmanned Vehicles Conversion Kit - a minimally invasive system aimed at converting existing vehicles into autonomous platforms. The driving factor behind this work is the fact that field robotics technology is currently restricted to specific platforms which are not widely available to the general public. Our system addresses this drawback by designing a platform agnostic system which is field deployable and can be retrofitted in a matter of hours on any vehicle. The conversion process grants the vehicle teleoperation as well as autonomous capabilities geared towards the completion of an application specific task. In addition, our system does not impair in any way the original functionally of the vehicle, allowing an operator to take full control of the vehicle at any point in time.
