Minimum Quantity: 15 each
Maximum Quantity: 356 each
End Item: Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV)
Description: The Switch Box is an essential component of the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) Vetronics Electrical Installation and is critical to vehicle readiness as it enables interoperability between Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) components. The Switch Box is a rugged, multi-function system that integrates a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch and a quad-core MX6 processor in a compact, MIL-STD qualified chassis. It consolidates a variety of capabilities, including a 16-port fully managed Layer 2 GbE switch, static Layer 3 routing, embedded Global Positioning System (GPS), a Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and solid-state storage into a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The Switch Box supports embedded computing and serves as an infrastructure Switch for the U.S. Army's Vehicle Integration for C5ISR Interoperability (VICTORY) initiative. The Switch Box must comply with several military specifications, including MIL-STD-810G for shock and vibration, MIL-STD-461F for electromagnetic interference, and MIL-STD-1275 for power supply protection against voltage surges, spikes, and transients. It also requires a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +71°C and MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors, which are not typically found on commercial Ethernet switches.
