Examining Time Sensitive Networking in Military Ground Vehicle Architectures

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a modern networking technology that promises to combine the speed, performance, and scalability of traditional best-effort Ethernet with the resilience and assurance of a safety-critical communications bus, all in a single physical network infrastructure. Although TSN is over a decade old, the collection of standards and profiles of which it consists are still evolving at a fast pace. Significant work remains to converge on a set of standardization and implementation details that will lead to meaningful interoperability in military ground vehicle applications. This paper explores the current state of TSN and how DEVCOM-GVSC’s partnership with industry, through collaborative refinement of ground combat vehicle requirements, is accelerating the adoption of this foundational MOSA-enabling technology.</div></div>
