Zone 1
Platform interface
Common mechanical datum. Mount points, load paths, roof and underbody attachment, centre-of-gravity envelope, ingress protection. The OEM builds to this once.
Architecture
One documented interface between the platform and the mission system
The Interface Control Document
Three zones that separate the platform from the mission system.
Zone 2
Power & data
Conditioned DC distribution, alternator budget allocation, backup power, protocol handling, time synchronisation, thermal management, EMI boundaries.
Zone 3
Mission modules
Swappable payload-side modules, each qualified against Zones 1 and 2. Change a module without re-qualifying the vehicle.
Production rate
Kits install to a fixed datum. No per-vehicle engineering.
Supplier freedom
Change any vendor without re-engineering the platform.
Auditable baseline
One documented configuration that survives sustainment and audit.
Power & data architecture
Everything on the platform terminates at one managed bus.
The managed bus is the qualified configuration. Components above and below it may be sourced freely.
Conceptual kit layout
Representative installation on a Group 2/3 protected mobility platform.
A
Sensor pod
Counter-UAS array, EO/IR, GNSS
B
Retractable mast
Mesh and satellite backhaul
C
Edge compute bay
Interior rack, mission software
D
Energy storage
Storage and microgrid interface
E
Signature management
Vehicle-mounted and scatterable
Side elevation — schematic, not to scale. Final geometry and electrical allocation are established by a paid scoping study on each platform.
Next step
Start with a scoping study
Six to eight weeks, fixed price. You receive the concept of operations, the Interface Control Document, the electrical and thermal budget against your actual platform, a safety framework, and a firm price for the build.
If the study does not earn the next phase, you have learned that for the cost of a study.
