The Integrated Survivability System Integration Laboratory (ISSIL) developed at the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Command (TARDEC) is a tool which enables and enhances the integration of Soldier survivability technology suites. TARDEC utilized the ISSIL to bridge the gap between concept and realization of the survivability demonstrator vehicle built on MTV 1083 A1P2 platform. The ISSIL was a critical tool for enabling the integration of mechanical, electrical, data, ...
Advanced Survivability Systems will be fully utilized by the Soldiers in the battlefield when the spatial, power and data integration issues are effectively managed during the vehicle integration process. Challenges faced during the integration process range from the packaging of oversized legacy equipment to the environmental requirements of advanced sensory systems. This paper discusses such integration efforts and the lessons accumulated during this resource intensive process. The utility of this ...
