Combat Vehicle Command and Control System Architecture Overview

Abstract

This Research Product describes and documents the software architecture used in the research and development effort referred to as Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVCC). This effort was initiated in the late 80's and was conducted in the Mounted Warfare Test Bed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. CVCC incorporated futuristic requirements for command, control, and communications (C3) systems to be used by armored combat systems of the future. The nature of the program enabled an iterative approach to the development of a user-based system. This system provides modular software that can be tailored to varying levels of operational and experimental requirements. The Product also includes the catalog of CVCC software switches that support rapid configuration of the C3 features developed. Directions for future architecture development are provided in a catalog of change requests derived from user-based assessments.
