Executive Summary
This is the Standardized A-Kit / Vehicle Envelope, or "SAVE" standard. This Interface Description Document (IDD) describes the size and shape of a standard mounting location and set of physical interfaces for integration of Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems into Army ground vehicles. It is intended to provide long term predictability and stability for vehicle and systems development. SAVE was initially developed for radios but also applies to computers and other systems such as the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) vehicle integration kit and its Tactical Cloud Package (TCP), the CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) first instantiation of the C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS), Electronic Warfare (EW) kits, etc. SAVE is a subset of the overall PEO GCS Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) - the over-arching framework for an invehicle network to facilitate the integration of radios, computers, networks, etc., into
