Modern military vehicle development is becoming increasingly complex as advanced propulsion systems, autonomous capabilities, software-defined architectures, and cross-domain communication need to function together while expected to remain operational over extended periods. A blog by AVL explains that engineering teams are adopting simulation-driven digital engineering approaches to evaluate vehicle designs and system interactions in virtual environments before extensive physical development. It also highlights that AVL CRUISE™ M supports simulation of propulsion architectures, energy systems, and battery management, while AVL VSM™ is designed for high-fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation, including off-road and extreme terrain conditions. Together, these approaches aim to support system validation, early software integration, and assessment of evolving vehicle requirements throughout development.
