There are found the answers to the scientific question whether it is possible to figure out the methodology to explore technology gaps looking through Operational Requirements (ORs) defined for military systems, to apply it to construction industry applications technology gaps exploration. In this paper were specified the (ORs) that enabled a preliminary analysis on Unmanned Ground Systems (UGSs): which kind of platforms might be developed and shared between the systems devoted to different military and construction industry applications. In this paper are presented technology gaps identified by comparing the ORs with the state of play of technologies that are currently available in the military and construction equipment applications. Then the challenges and measures are identified and associated to the gaps that should be taken in order to bridge each specific gap. There are identified technological and non-technological aspects that may hamper development of UGS solutions that fully achieve the ORs, and thus would need to be further studied and/or elaborated. As a next step actions are specified. They represent the research and development initiatives, steps or activities that should be done in order to be in the position of developing UGS solutions achieving the specified ORs and requirements of construction site. The actions need to be completed to bridge the technology gaps to make required new capabilities available. One of results of such a methodology are schedules based on the roadmap aimed to guide the development of the future UGS solutions towards the achievement of operational and construction site requirements.
