Ethernet-baserat interkommunikationssystem för militära fordonssystem
The result of this master thesis report describes the advantages and the drawbacks that will arise when implementing an Ethernet based intercommunication system in military vehicles. The report presents a possible solution and describes how different sound applications will be implemented into the suggested solution. The report show that IP LAN in vehicles leads to more advantages than drawbacks. The main advantages are that all kind of media can share the same LAN and that there is a lot of knowledge of this technique in the civil area. The main drawback is about delay. The drawbacks are otherwise well known and methods are known to decrease the impact of them. In the suggested intercommunication system the processing delay gives the largest impact on not deliver data in real time. The suggested solution, with separate connections for intercom unit and PC platform to the switch at each crew member gives good reliability and security.
