Interoperability Open Architecture of Unmanned Systems

Within the INTERACT Project, funded by the DG-DEFIS of the European Commission and managed by the European Defence Agency (EDA), interoperability concepts aiming at enhancing the capabilities of European armed forces to safely, effectively and flexibly operate unmanned and manned systems in joint or combined operations have been developed. The challenge lied in creating overarching interoperability concepts for defence systems in general and unmanned systems in particular. The different interoperability concepts have been integrated into an open interoperability architecture for unmanned systems. In this paper the developed open interoperability architecture is presented.
