Arnold NextG Blogspot: Digital Mobility Architecture for Tomorrow’s Defence

“Technological sovereignty means that Europe must be able to develop, manufacture and certify security-critical technologies independently.” – German Federal Ministry of Defence, Strategy Paper on Digital Defence, 2023

The Solution: Drive-by-Wire Technology by Arnold NextG

NX NextMotion is a drive-by-wire platform that digitally and redundantly controls key driving functions such as steering, acceleration and braking. Mechanical control is replaced by electronic signal paths – managed via safety-certified software architectures. The system is modular, compatible with a wide range of vehicle types, and field-proven for mission-critical environments.

Key Technical Features:

• Fully redundant signal transmission for all driving commands
• Cyber-secure communication architecture (ISO 21434)
• Functional safety certified according to ISO 26262 and SIL3
• Suitable for autonomous, remote-controlled and hybrid operation modes

Military Applications: A New Dimension of Tactical Mobility

NX NextMotion enables advanced operational mobility in various military scenarios:

• Convoy protection with zero personnel risk
• Logistics missions in hostile zones – remote or semi-autonomous
• Reconnaissance and resupply via high-availability platforms
• Special-purpose vehicles for rescue, decontamination or engineer units

Its open interface architecture allows for simplified integration into existing fleets. The platform is vehicle-agnostic and adaptable to NATO standards.

“Autonomous systems reduce personnel risk, increase the speed and precision of military decision-making, and are essential for resilient armed forces in complex environments.”
– European Defence Agency, Action Plan on Autonomous Systems, 2024

Production Depth and Quality Assurance

NX NextMotion is fully developed and manufactured in Germany. Arnold NextG provides in-house development, homologation and integration – including specialist vehicle construction with road approval. Each system is tested under real-world conditions and tailored to specific operational requirements. This ensures short integration cycles and maximum operational reliability.

Conclusion: Mobility as a Strategic Element of Digital Defence

With NX NextMotion, Arnold NextG offers a ready-to-deploy, scalable drive-by-wire platform tailored for digital defence environments. The technology enables autonomous vehicle control and seamless integration into command-and-control infrastructures – delivering a strategic contribution to Europe’s digital resilience.
