The architecture described in this paper is implementation independent and horizontally expandable. It fulfills the vehicle's integration needs in terms of data sharing, electrical power distribution and data processing. Furthermore, it allows for truly integrated, function independent, crew member stations from which the entire vehicle is controlled and monitored. It elevates the crew's role from vehicle functions integrator to vehicle manager thus allowing the crew to devote more of its time and effort to mission management. RCA has developed an implementation independent architecture to integrate electrical/electronic subsystems. The architecture described in this paper is easily upgradable and features deep integration, a high degree of modularity and common modules structured around standard interfaces. These features give the architecture a degree of flexibility and technology robustness seldom found in military applications. Although the requirements driving the architecture were developed from land combat vehicle applications, the architecture is equally applicable to any embedded system. This paper describes the architecture, its key attributes and benefits, and stresses the importance of standard interfaces.
