Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA)
Why Choose a Full-Stack GVA Supplier?
When it comes to implementing Generic Vehicle Architecture, working with a single, integrated supplier eliminates complexity, reduces risk, and accelerates delivery. We provide everything from middleware to mission-ready applications.
The Challenge of Multi-Vendor Integration
Many defence programmes face:
- Integration nightmares coordinating multiple suppliers
- Finger-pointing when issues arise between components
- Delayed timelines due to interface mismatches
- Hidden costs from integration testing and rework
