SMART DISPLAY BASED VEHICLE C4ISR ARCHITECTURE

This paper illustrates the effectiveness of using smart displays to further reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) in ground vehicles while also providing a path to implementing a network for vehicle C4ISR architectures such as VICTORY. This is done by introducing smart displays and how they can be configured and implemented to take on various functions to provide capabilities such as sensor viewing, vehicle health monitoring, and blue force tracking. The smart display’s interfaces and application software allow it to act as network adapter for legacy end nodes in digital backbone architectures.
