COMMON AND FLEXIBLE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC ARCHITECTURE FOR MULTI-VEHICLE, MULTI-MISSION SYSTEMS

MISSION SYSTEM INTEGRATION FOR TACTICAL EFFECTIVENESS

KEY OPERATIONAL BENEFITSfor land tactical units:

Legacy vehicles and most new-generation land platforms areseldom ready to plug into the digitised battlespace. This callsfor a coherent vehicle electronics architecture to allow bestintegration, networking and exploitation of legacy and newsensor, vehicle, and weapon data on board.

On this vehicle electronics system (or systronics) core, anoverall vehicle and communications supervision enablesnetwork-centric operations of the whole battlegroup as anintegrated system .

To measure the force multiplication factor and augmentedsituational awareness provided by vehicle digitisation andmulti-vehicle networking, NATO has defined new metricsbeyond the traditional mobility, protection and firepower.

(platform and main weapon)1

The best protected, most mobile and powerful vehicles remainvulnerable when they fight alone or using only voice orders.

Single vehicle digitisation mission systems(enabling equipment integration)

Digitised platform with vehicle electronics system can bestexploit equipment integration and deliver enhanced localawareness.

Multi-vehicle networking(multi-mission integration and link to command & control chain)

3

Sharing vehicle and tactical information allows synchronisedmanoeuver, accurate logistics, collaborative fighting anddecision superiority.

Thales extensive portfolio of C4ISR equipment combineswith system integration expertiseto augment vehicle manufacturersskills for digitised battlegroups.

Rather than a collection of electronic boxes bolted on thevehicle, Thales integrates military land platforms within aconsistent system architecture, including vehicle electronics,sensors, weapons and C4I.
