GVA and its Place in a Connected Future
Paul Tingey, Senior Field Application Engineer at RTI
The most recent version of the UK MoD's Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) includes a number of changes that outline the direction in which the standard is evolving.
In this presentation we will discuss:
- Some of the most significant changes in the standard (for example, integration levels).
- How those changes point towards an evolved future for GVA systems.
- How other significant technologies, such as TSN, could be important drivers for GVA in the future.
- How connectivity (for example, between simulation systems) is becoming critically important and how GVA is ideally situated to enable it
- What effects recent revisions to the Land Data Model (LDM) have had.

Understanding GVA: An Evolving Platform for Land Vehicles
Paul Tingey, Senior Field Application Engineer at RTI
In 2010, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) released their General Vehicle Architecture standard (Def Stan 23-009), widely known as GVA. It defined a set of requirements for the development of military vehicles aimed at reducing project risk, reducing costs and improving equipment capability.
In the intervening years, GVA has evolved as lessons have been learned, technology has improved and requirements have changed.
This webinar outlines the key technical aspects of GVA. It will focus on how Data Distribution Service (DDS) is used as part of the underlying structure of a GVA based system, and will review some of the more recent changes in the GVA standard itself.

DDS in GVA and NGVA: Common Challenges, Common Solutions
Thijs Brouwer, FAE at RTI and Daniel Ota, Team Lead PCI, Fraunhofer
The inclusion of the Data Distribution Service (DDS™) standard within the Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) and the Nato Generic Vehicle Architecture (NGVA) standards is dramatically improving modularity, interoperability and productivity for builders of military ground vehicles. But is it possible to build systems that are compliant with both standards? What can builders of GVA / NGVA systems do to reduce discovery times? Do they face other common challenges? Finally, what role does DDS-SECURITY™ play and how is it relevant for protecting classified data?
These are the key topics that will be covered in the second installment of our GVA webinar series.
