Modern military vehicles are increasingly complex systems that rely on vehicle
electronics (vetronics) to provide essential capabilities. The electronic architecture of a
military vehicle consists of distributed subsystems of varying degree of integrity that are
integrated using the vetronics infrastructure. Many of these subsystems are rapidly
updated to address Urgent Operational Requirements (UORs). The integration of these
subsystems often provides capabilities greater than the sum of the individual
subsystems. Therefore, the complex and integrated vetronics architecture is a critical
element of these vehicles. However, the safety and reliability certification of the
distributed and integrated capabilities is becoming increasingly difficult. The traditional
approach to vehicle design and development lacks in managing the increased
complexity of the integrated architecture and the complexity of the safety justification.
