Overview BushNET is an AI enabled Central Nervous System (CNS) of a modern combat vehicle. It connects sensors, screens, radios, cameras, alarms even drones and robots so they all work together like one powerful team. Build with ATLAS (GVA) Core services embedded alongside CISCO enterprise switching this is the central nervous system for land fighting vehicles.

Embedded inside BushNET are the digital crew serives that make rapid decicion making possible with ATLAS digital crew, HERMES intelligent voice and TALOS our next generation operating system. Everything you would expect from a high end server embedded in a single appliance.

Inside BushNET is a powerful 5in1 solution with AI mini-computer that runs something called Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA). That’s a fancy way of saying it helps every part of the vehicle “speak the same language.” Whether it’s a thermal camera spotting and identifying danger, or providing natural language interfaces for the human, BushNET makes sure the data flows smoothly and securely. In addition you can also host SAPIENT Registry and Tacktical Awareness Kit (TAK) services limited only by your imagination, host what you want!…

Five-in-One Systems

Five systems in a Size, Weight and Power (plus cost) SWaPc optimised package making GVA more affordable.

• A powerrfull ARM based server
• AI / ML Neural Accellorator for deep data inspection.
• Enterprise grade Ethernet switching with L2/L3 Management by CISCO
• Router for secure backbone
• Automotive Gateway for bridging data from the ship / vehicle (dual CAN)

Key Features

• AI enabled Embedded ARM CPU: An embedded Linux ARM CPU (see Specifications) for efficient hosting of genereative AI services.
• Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) Core pre installed: Optinally shipped with GVA Registration server, Alarms and Usage & Condition Monitoring out of the box. We talk GVA to the Land Data Model (AS GVA 7.5.x, UK GVA 9.x.0, UK GVA 10.0.0).
• Connect ROS2, SAPIENT & TAK: Distribute Cursor on Target TAK messages or SAPIENT compliant AI sensors in real time over mesh networks with our Rust TAK SDK for Linux. Build TAK enabled applications in a flash.requirments.
• CAN to Ethernet (DDS) Bridge: Ensure full interoperability of CAN and DDS messages in accordance with GVA
• Open Standards: We align with the UK MoD Land Open Systems Architecture (LOSA) Generic Vehicle Architecture DEF-STAN 23-009 for land domain systems. Copper, fibre, connectors and power are standardised allowing greater interoperability and more flexibility with BushNET switches.
• Enterprise-Grade Performance: Powered by Cisco IOS XE, the BushNET delivers exceptional performance, ensuring smooth data transmission and network reliability.
• BushNET Essentials: Everything you need for Layer 2 switching and more with VLAN and NAT support choose
• Enterprise tooling for commissioning and maintinance

BushNET Commissioning and Maintinance tool

Astute Systems tooling makes commissioning switches a breeze. Serial and SNMP connectivity to the BushNET makes testing and monitoring simple, configured and optimised for defence deployments we support our customers with world class tooling reducing time to market / deployment.
