An integrated technology platform includes multiple hardware and software components that enable any application of autonomous agricultural equipment operation in an agricultural or other off-road setting, within a common software structural architecture. The integrated technology platform represents a technology stack that is a modular architecture that can be leveraged across multiple use cases and vehicle types. The integrated technology platform includes a vehicle interface component responsible for the physical interface to agricultural equipment, a telematics component that enables stable in-field communications between all aspects of the integrated technology platform, and a perception component that operates as a safety mechanism and includes object detection and classification. Additionally, a cloud-side application performs account management and field setup and as well as syncing of field equipment and operating systems in a common operating system. The integrated technology platform also includes an executive control layer that enables rapid porting from one platform to another, so that software applications in the integrated technology platform can work with hardware of any manufacture.
