The Standardized A-Kit / Vehicle Envelope (SAVE) describes the physical dimensions of the envelope that modern C5ISR capabilities must fit into on ground vehicles. A key aspect of the SAVE envelope is the ability to update the existing vehicle space used for legacy comms with modern computing and communication capabilities.
While SAVE does not explicitly outline technical requirements in terms of systems, it does outline observations for mounting dimensions, interface types of Ethernet, and power limitations of up to 600W on the SAVE slot. Further observations of SAVE include the need for equipment that can withstand the harsh environment when vehicles are off-road.
Voyager SAVE ready chassis and modules
Voyager is a suite of rugged compute, network, and communications modules that work within a SAVE-compliant chassis called the Voyager 6. Key advantages of the Voyager 6 chassis include:
- Wide range of vehicle mounts: supports SINCGARS MT-6352 mounting tray, flexibility to mount in a range of land, sea, and air vehicles.
- Modularity for flexible deployments: with six open slots, meet any mission need for computing, networking, and radio kit integrations.
- Built-in power distribution and protection: built-in power spike protection and UPS capabilities, for always-on ready systems.
compute, networking, and connectivity (Wi-Fi, cellular, and radio) as one holistic vehicle-mounted system.
Future-proofed, scalable SAVE systems
Voyager’s modularity of slot and play capabilities allows for mission-ready systems that are easily adopted to suit the needs of any mission deployment.
Voyager adheres to a strict form-factor, making it easy to swap around capabilities that include the ability to add more compute for scaled sensor fusion capabilities.
