Partners / Interoperability

UGV Interoperability Principles

Interoperability starts with open requirements and ICDs, but is not the same as NATO approval or compliance.

Interoperability is the ability of systems to interact within agreed boundaries. For a UGV it covers mechanics, power, data, control, documentation, cybersecurity and procedure—not one connector.

Mission context

Partner markets expect version control, traceability, risk review and an understandable conformity path. A standard applies only after a gap assessment of the specific configuration.

Engineering approach

HARDY is building an integration-ready architecture and mapping relevant requirements while separating engineering direction from formal assessment or certification.

What must be demonstrated

Claims should connect to documents and verification results.

  • ICD, compatible versions and change control;
  • standards and cyber-risk gap assessment;
  • integration test report and compatibility boundary.

Limits and responsible claims

We do not use NATO approved, NATO compliant or NATO partner unless formally authorised and evidenced.

Next step

Agree an interface scope and initial gap assessment.
