Trends
• Having more & better information has become a critical capability for protection and survivability, tactical advantage.
More sensors – LSA, DVE More sub-systems More displays
• Effective Information sharing, how ?
Page 4
Traditional approach – “bolt-on”
• Better capabilities (~ information) by adding subsystems each with its own hardware -> duplication: multiple GPS devices, keyboards, displays, battery packs…
• Reduced crew space, payload• Multiple HMIs: increased complexity & workload • Increased SWaP-C signature• Cost & schedule risk
Need for Need for Open, modular & scalable approach based on approach based on standards: GVA !!

GVA approach
Open, modular & scalable approach based on standards
•Reducing through-life costs• design and integration costs• maintenance and upgrade cost• Training• Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)
•Improve operational effectiveness
•Reclaiming lost space
Page 6
Open, modular & scalable approach based on standards
•Reducing redundant hardware & HMIs by sharing resources:• reduce workload & room for errors• Simplify and standardise user interactions• Adding new capabilities with lower SWaP-C impact
•Reduces program risk (cost/schedule)
•Latest technologies faster to field -> benefit from technology insertions
GVA approach (ctd.)
Page 7
Use of published & freely available standards– No proprietary solutions– No vendor lock-in
OPEN
Facilitates upgrade & replacement of equipment as required
MODULAR
GVA – Open, modular & scalable
Page 8
SCALABLE
Use same proven building blocks for different platforms (from Utility over IFV to MBT) – add as required.

Today’s in-vehicle video systems
• Sometimes no cameras
• Different types of lowres analog and digital cameras and image sensors – wide range of video formats
• Mainly point-to-point (stove-pipes), hardly any information sharing
• Analog video matrices or switches for multi-image viewing
• Difficult to expand
• Cabling
Page 10
Trend to higher resolution sensors
• Better information: DRI performance (Detection Recognition Identification), but also…
• Higher resolutions -> higher bandwidth• Lower frame rate ? -> adding latency !!

Sharing ?
Need for video networks allowing high bandwidths, many different formats,
resolutions & easy distribution
Page 12
Digital video networks
To achieve interoperability & cost-effectiveness the video distribution system must be based on a standardized, open, proven platform and deliver:
• Networking/distributiontransport of video to any combination of service users & providers
• High bandwidth/throughputhigh resolutions and frame rates
• Reliable, real-time operation - QoSlow, predictable latency
• Flexibilityrange of video formats, digital video and legacy analog
• Scalabilityincreasing bandwidths and the addition of new system elements.

Concept of Use– Support connection to Ethernet video network.
• Subscribe to multiple DEF-STAN 00-82 compliant video streams (uncompressed YUV422).
– Output resultant feeds as new video streams.– system to provide a variety of image manipulation
tasks on video streams including;• Tiling, Stitching, Cropping, blending, fusion, Scaling
– Ethernet video input/output• 10G optical
– Ethernet control• SNMP
