USING MILITARY ELECTRONIC ARCHITECTURE CONCEPTS IN ROAD VEHICLES
The growth of so many electronic subsystems on present day road vehicles, combined with the rapid development of new concepts, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS), bring to light a number of integration issues already addressed by the developers of military fighting platforms. The concepts of integration and standard interfaces within electronic systems can maximize system effectiveness and efficiency. System functionality can be enhanced by encouraging subsystems to exchange data, and hardware can be reduced by subsystems sharing resources, such as sensors, processors, and MMI devices. Hardware savings bring cost and reliability benefits; standardization improves maintainability. Such advantages are relatively easily won by integrating the equipments on specific platforms. However, the greatest benefits to be gained from integrated systems are in the long-term application of common themes, maintaining the compatibility of equipments and function between many different platform types. The military have developed integrated architectures with a total systems approach, to pproduce systems that are both effective and flexible. Although vehicle roles are different, these technologies and concepts will be equally applicable to civilian road going vehicles. The Defence Research Agency is seeking opportunities to share the lessons learned with civilian users.
