20. Common Vehicular Instrumentation Initiative (CVII) CVII is a cooperative effort between the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) and the Operational Test Command (OTC). CVII is defining the communication infrastructure for modular instrumentation used by the U.S. Army for test and training exercises. The specification includes hardware, protocol / services, and application level interface specifications that are based on a common object model. CVII will provide a basis for development of diverse modules which may be used or "tailored" to the instrumentation requirements of the system under test without the expense of an entirely new instrumentation suite.
