1. General Information Scope: This document was prepared to provide a framework for the development of a Multi-Function Video Display (MVD) system and its associated control hardware. The MVD system is intended to provide a seamless interface across multiple auxiliary subsystems that are carried by the Medium Mine Protected Vehicle Type II (MMPV Type II). Vehicle enablers include but are not limited to the Vehicle Optical Sensor System (VOSS), Situational Awareness Cameras, Man Transportable Robotic System, Interrogation Arm, Radios and other communication systems. The system architecture should be expandable to acquire digital data from more advanced sensors in future requirements. In addition to distributing control and video data between the MMPV crew-station positions, the MVD system must also provide the ability to select and record photo and video streams to removable storage devices in a secure manner.

Purpose: The following sections of this document describe a minimum performance specification for a common control system which will provide an interface between soldiers inside of an MMPV, and the enabler systems being carried by the vehicle. The MVDs shall incorporate a minimum connector set within their enclosure enabling the use of alternate input devices such as joysticks or keypads. The displays then connect to a Server/Switch which will perform video and data switching, as well as providing an interface to the onboard removable storage media for video/data recording purposes. The Server/Switch will interface to enabler system hardware through either a dedicated media converter, or a standard Ethernet interface if available.

System Overview: The MVD system is required to be integrated to platforms which already have the bulk of their interior volume allocated for other systems. The figure below illustrates the envisioned layout for the MVD system. Government software has been developed to operate the MVD based off the System Architecture in Figure 1. The items identified in the System Specifications must have the ability to work with the software that is developed.

Figure 1: MVD System Architecture

*The conceptual layouts above are envisioned to be the most cost effective way to design MFD architecture around existing constraints while still maintaining the ability to scale the project in the future.
