GE vetronics to go aboard British Army Scout SV

TOWCESTER, England, 5 March 2015. Vetronics designers at General Dynamics UK in Bryn Brithdir, Wales, needed embedded computing subsystems for the British Army Scout specialist vehicle (Scout SV). They found their solution from GE Intelligent Platforms in Towcester, England.

General Dynamics UK has made about $100 million worth of orders to GE for scalable, open-architecture subsystems, which include Ethernet switches, gateway processors, data servers, and video servers, GE officials say.

GE's embedded systems will enable low Scout SV platforms to be easily upgraded during their lifetime as new requirements and technologies emerge, GE officials say.


These subsystems provide the backbone of the Scout SV's vehicle electronics (vetronics) architecture. The Ethernet switch connects the networked elements of the vehicle together; the gateway processor provides processing for the General Dynamics UK software to run the platform; and the data and video servers enable the vehicle to store and distribute data and video around the platform and on into the wider connected battlefield.

The GE offering took advantage of two GE capabilities. GE's close working relationship with NVIDIA and its expertise in developing and deploying rugged graphics processing unit (GPU) technology that helped GE meet the Scout SV's size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints.


GE designers also were able to use their company's OpenWare switch software to help optimize the vehicle's network to Scout SV requirements.

Scout SV are replacing replace the British Army's CVR(T) vehicles. General Dynamics UK will deliver 589 of the new vehicles, which have six variants: scout, reconnaissance, mobile reconnaissance, command and control, engineering reconnaissance, repair, and recovery. Each variant will be an agile, tracked, medium-weight armored fighting vehicle.

Scout SV vehicles are built on a common base platform to make the most of commonality in mobility, electronic architecture, and survivability. Each vehicle has acoustic detectors, laser-warning, local situational awareness, electronic countermeasures, route marking, advanced electronic architecture, and high-performance power pack.

“Google Glass” is being transformed into military technology that will eventually take a step further and be re-purposed for many other vital uses such as transportation, navigation and identification


Imagine being in the heat of battle, you are exhausted, fatigued and running on adrenaline. A few seconds before a terrorist opens fire, you are told over the radio to take cover and prepare. This is the development of military-like “Google Glasses”, which will provide real-time information from combat soldiers in battle to their commanders.

The IDF continues to ambitiously develop and harness technology of the 21st century with the goal of preventing harm to combat soldiers. The IDF’s Development Branch, which is in charge of the development of forthcoming technology in the military, has been at the forefront of technology like the IDF’s “Google Glass” and the use of applications. Recently, this branch has been inspired from previous operations to advance technology that provides real-time information on the battlefield in order to prevent harm to the soldiers.

“After Operation Protective Edge, there became a greater understanding that mobility is a significant factor in combat,” said Capt. Rotem, Head of Development Branch. “One of the things we’re working on is a change in the perception of mobility within the development branch of the IDF. In the coming year we will learn how to develop and utilize Android apps, and enter the realm of multi-faceted technology”.


One of the more dynamic projects that the communications branch is developing a “Google Glass” for combat soldiers to wear. Soldiers will be able to provide real time information that will connect to command and control screens, where people manning the stand will able to assess a soldier’s situation on the battlefield. “Of course the goal is not to confuse, but to add information that can help fighters make correct decisions – to prevent firing at our forces for example,” said Capt. Rotem.

The “Google Glass” is being transformed into military technology that will eventually take a step further and be re-purposed for many other vital uses such as transport, navigation and identification. These concepts will be introduced through the development of applications, that will connect commanders in the field with the general staff.

“We have completed our first application that works on a mobile platform – mobile logistics transportation,” explained Capt. Rotem. “It displays a map on the screen, displaying the route they are taking to deliver logistics, trucks with weapons, etc. This enables the commanders to gather updates on the delivery during the fighting, when it will reach the area – and be able to control the means of transport.”


Applications developed, such as the logistics application, will form the basis for many others to be developed for use by the end of 2015. There is a wide range of ideas, both in combat and operational support; applications that can help fighters navigate the battlefield and identify goals, possibly identify and confirm dead soldiers under a biometric element.

The realization of greater mobility and real time interaction between combat soldiers and commanders has become the recent objective through development of technology. The progression of “Google Glass” like technology is the first step to bringing combat and operational units together, while also preventing harm to soldiers on the battlefield with last minute absolute decision making.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the third guy from the left is holding a SCAR-H, is he not?

I am not familiar with this rifle.... maybe someone can verify here

Yep scar-H
going to be a mass issued to VAT 69 in near future
right now only small group are using this

Im still waiting for CM901 in action

Raytheon recognized by Aviation Week for innovation in Gallium Nitride technology


WALTHAM, Mass., March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has been named a 2015 Laureate Award winner by Aviation Week for innovation in introducing gallium nitride (GaN)-based technology to military radar systems. Advancing the capability of radars and other types of sensors, GaN radio frequency (RF) amplifiers are more than five times more powerful than semiconductors presently used. For military systems, GaN delivers higher performance as well as significant cost benefit.

Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' Advanced Technology Programs team has a fifteen-year history of GaN innovation that has shaped today's radar discrimination technology. Partnerships with organizations such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) have advanced the development, production and integration of amplifiers based on GaN technology.
GaN produced in Raytheon's DoD trusted foundry, located in Andover, MA, has been recognized by DoD for achieving a Manufacturing Readiness Level production capability of "8," the highest level obtained by any organization in the defense industry for this technology. The foundry provides a center of excellence for ongoing programs that require design and fabrication of military RF amplifiers and modules.

"We are honored to be recognized for our ground breaking advancements in GaN technology and for demonstrating how GaN can benefit defense systems across all domains," said Mark E. Russell, vice president of Engineering, Technology and Mission Assurance for Raytheon. "Raytheon is the leading GaN innovator and will continue to explore opportunities to leverage GaN's capabilities to drive performance and affordability for our customers."
