HARDY develops ARGUS, MUL, FLEX and VANGUARD as a family of ground platforms. A specific capability depends on configuration, payload, software version and validated test.
Mission context
Why plywood? An engineered layered composite is used for parts of the structure to support repair, availability and mission economics. Are 3–5 missions guaranteed? No. It is a design premise; actual life depends on task, conditions and damage.
Engineering approach
Are the platforms autonomous? Defined route or safety functions are described specifically; people remain in command. Can partner payloads be integrated? Yes—through requirements, an ICD, integration and joint testing.
What must be demonstrated
Before procurement or integration, review the current evidence package.
- configuration technical data sheet;
- reports from relevant tests;
- operating limits, service model and responsibilities.
