A Common Bus In-Vehicle Network Architecture for Ground Army Vehicles

Abstract

Army ground vehicles are equipped with electronic devices (e.g. sensors, displays, processors, weapons, etc.) to carry out battle missions. A standard interoperable in-vehicle network architecture is required to make onboard electronic devices more efficient, interoperable, and scalable. This report focus on the following topics (1) "High Level Common Bus In-Vehicle Network Architecture" proposal for army ground vehicles to integrate and expand on-board electronic devices (2) Network protocol and topology selection, and analysis criteria (3) Service oriented architecture compliant software components or modules (4) Compliance with military standards. Additional details are found under the background section.
