A Comprehensive Modularity Framework for Military Ground Vehicle Architecture Models

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Architecting military ground vehicles is so complex that it requires a model of modular open-standard system architecture (OSSA) to enable rapid development, integration and fielding of capability components. Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) help achieve modularity in OSSA models. However, enforcing and evaluating modularity in the OSSA models prior to production of software and hardware components is a significant challenge due to the lack of a domain-specific standard framework. This paper proposes a novel and comprehensive approach to ensure high modularity in military ground vehicle domain-specific OSSA models. The approach addresses the unique requirements and challenges in the creation of more modular and effective vehicle architecture.</div></div>
