MODUK DEF STAN 23-12 PDF

Scope Assumptions and Constraints

The GSA is a platform specific architecture, the physical implementation of which is the DSS. GSA defines the infrastructure to be implemented by DSS and the interfaces between it and the soldier’s role equipment.

Architectural components and requirements that enable off-soldier communications and connectivity, including data sharing, between platforms will be captured within the Land Open System Architecture (LOSA) Common Open Interface (Land) (COI(L)) Defence Standard.

Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) and System Information Exploitation (SIE) requirements are not included within this version of the Defence Standard.

The Defence Standard will not define maximum system weight requirements and allocations. The Guidance associated with this Defence Standard will outline general principles to be considered. Actual weight requirements will be defined on a case-by-case basis as part of the System Design Requirements supported by LTA(S).

A mix of legacy and future procured GSA compliant role equipment must be supported on the soldier platform. The GSA architecture must accommodate and define an approach for supporting legacy equipment.
