Common Vehicle Instrumentation Initiative
(CVII)An Introduction to the Future of
Operational & Developmental Test Instrumentation
C o m m o n V e h I c l e I n s t r u m e n t a t I o n I n i t i a t i v e C V I I
Mr. Bob Wolfinger, US Army, PM-ITTS Instrumentation Management Office
A Program to Simplify Instrumenting Weapon Systems
CVII is a U.S. Army Developmental & Operational Test Command Program to Develop a “Common Communication Infrastructure Bus” for Instrumenting Weapon Systems
CVII’s Open Published Architecture & Standard Provides full Interface Control Documentation to Assist Contractors Build CVII Compliant Devices
Supports Wire & Wireless Interfaces and Peer to Peer Communications
CVII’s Hot Plug & Play Migrates Weapon Instrumentation to a “Snap-On, Snap-Off” Tool Box Mentality
What is CVII?
C o m m o n V e h I c l e I n s t r u m e n t a t I o n I n i t i a t i v e C V I I
Provide the T&E Community a Common Communications Infrastructure Bus to Simultaneously Interconnect and Control an Array of Legacy and Future Instrumentation Devices on a Single Weapon Platform
Eliminate Duplication of Effort, Establish Commonality, and Component Interoperability of Instrumentation Assets
Drive the T&E Market to Common Open Interfaces & Standards
Enable Sharing of Assets and Interoperability Between:
DT/OT Ranges
T&E and Training Ranges
Streamline Testing - Piggyback Testing, Training, & Experimentation
Increase Flexibility, Reduce Acquisition & Sustainment Costs

A Layered Approach: Physical, Link, Network, &
Transaction
C o m m o n V e h I c l e I n s t r u m e n t a t I o n I n i t i a t i v e C V I I
CVII Communication Infrastructure works with any type of physical media Wireless (TDMA, 802.11, 802.16, 802.20, Bluetooth, Satellite, etc) Wired (FireWire—IEEE 1394, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, etc)
Wired Physical Media on CVII is primarily based on the high speed FireWire bus that provides power and signal to Instrumentation Devices
FireWire (IEEE-1394a) standard allows speeds up to 400 Mbps Devices include Lasers, Detectors, Radios, Data Recorders, Sensors, Video, Pyro, …
Link Layer enables CVII to interface to multiple physical media at one time
TCP/IP Network Layer allow CVII to operate across heterogeneous environment.
Higher CVII layers (CORBA / XML) drastically enhance interoperability CORBA enforces the usage of well defined process and data formats for interoperability The same approach is used by TENA, CTIA, and SCA simplifying interface with CVII Transparent Interoperability is feasible if a common data model is agree by TENA and CTIA
to interface with CVII
Simplifies Management of Asset Growth and Compatibility Across U.S. Army Test and Training communities for Legacy and Future Systems.
Provides a uniform approach to implement instrumentation systems
Inter-exchangeable capability on lower layer allow tailoring CVII for specific requirements.
A suite of various physical layers are supported
Consistent interfaces enhances interoperability between multi-vendor products
Networking Layer uses the TCP/IP protocols Transaction and Presentation Layers use CORBA and a CVII object model (IDL/XML)
CVII Enables Hot-Plug-and-Play and Device Control Functions for Legacy and Future Instrumentation Products
