Monday
Presentation

The requirement for advanced computing and communications technology in modern weapon systems has presented the developers of military weapon systems significant challenges. The U.S. Marines Corps Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) began as a “traditional” weapons system development prior to the explosion of advanced computing, communications and software systems. During its development, the EFV Program transitioned its hardware and software architecture and its development methodologies from a “traditional” approach to an advanced commercial hardware and software development methodologies. This presentation will discuss the transition of the EFV Program from a “traditional” development approach to a transformational approach. Weapon system requirements, technology drivers, hardware architecture, software architecture, and the software development methodology will be presented.
