Abstract: A method of detecting and warning an operator of an off-road vehicle of objects in limited-visibility environments. The method includes: detecting a potentially-hazardous object within the vicinity of the vehicle, using a sensor of the vehicle; transmitting data relating to the potentially-hazardous object to a vehicle processor; determining whether the potentially-hazardous object is in a projected path of the vehicle or in a proximity zone of the vehicle; and alerting the operator of the vehicle to the presence and location of the potentially-hazardous object when the potentially-hazardous object is in the projected path of the vehicle or in the proximity zone of the vehicle.

Abstract: Modular winch system and associated devices are disclosed. In one or more embodiments the modular winch system includes a spool and a spool frame including a first frame portion and a second frame portion configured to rotatably support the spool. In one or more embodiments the system includes a plurality of winch modules including a motor, a gearbox, and a fairlead each connected to the spool frame, where the motor and gearbox are attached to frame portions, and each have a plurality of potential rotational orientations defined a plurality of universal attachment holes. In various embodiments, the spool frame is attachable to the vehicle in at least two orientations including a horizontal orientation where the plurality of mounting holes are approximately horizontal relative to the earth, and a vertical mounting orientation where the plurality of mounting holes are approximately vertical relative to the earth.
