The U.S. Army is meeting the severe requirements of 'Army 21' with a series of technological initiatives to upgrade combat vehicles. Many new electronic subsystems are now being developed to enhance the survivability and lethality of these vehicles. To efficiently integrate these subsystems, the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) is developing a modular system architecture called VETRONICS (VEhicle ElecTRONICS). RCA is one of four companies involved in this development. RCA's architecture, based on embedded microprocessors, provides many important features such as modularity, distribution of functions, and fault tolerance. Since it is highly desirable for the software architecture to supply similar benefits, RCA chose Ada, a highly modular, maintainable, and portable language, for implementation of its VETRONICS demonstration system. Despite the immaturity of Ada compilers and support tools for embedded systems in the 1984/1985 time frame, RCA implemented a VETRONICS demonstrator utilizing approximately 25,000 lines of Ada code running on embedded microprocessors. This system now provides a means for evaluating both vehicle electronics software architectural issues and the real-time application of embedded Ada.
