Where our systems plug into European programmes.

Standards decide whether a system can be bought, not just whether it works. BMDS designs to NATO STANAG 4586 and 4703 for air, to STANREC 4818 for ground systems, to EMAR 21 requirements for airworthiness and to EU Regulations 2019/945 and 2019/947 for operation in European airspace.

One interface across the family.

STANAG 4586 is the control interface standard for unmanned systems and STANREC 4818 covers ground systems. Designing to both is what allows a customer to add a BMDS system to an existing command structure instead of building a parallel one.

Certification path, stated openly.

Each system line carries its own status and its own target date. We publish that path rather than a badge, because a procurement office plans against dates, not against claims.

European programmes.

BMDS participates in European defence industrial programmes and NATO standardisation work. Programme specific documentation is available to verified organisations under NDA.

Designed to NATO STANAG 4586 and 4703, STANREC 4818, EMAR 21 requirements, EU 2019/945 and 2019/947
