Where defence meets new ideas
Innovation only matters when it can be safely and securely integrated.
The INTeACT Software Development Kit (SDK), enabled through MOD and BAE Systems’ collaboration, provides a trusted route for industry to independently develop and test software for the Royal Navy’s combat management system.
Built around open defence standards, the SDK helps accelerate future capability into today’s fleet while protecting the safety, security and integrity of operational systems.
Through RECODE, this capability is supported as part of the long-term availability and modernisation of the Royal Navy’s combat systems.

Solving the problems of innovation in defence
Opening up a traditionally closed ecosystem
Most combat systems are difficult to access and so they should be. The INTeACT SDK lowers the entry barriers by providing open, standards based interfaces (OARIS, TEX, TDAI, ALMAS, C2INAV) to the Royal Navy’s Combat Management System (CMS).
Giving developers a safe, realistic way to build without touching the live system
The SDK emulates CMS behaviours, giving developers everything they need to prototype, test and refine their ideas at their own pace, without risk, without hardware, and without needing access to a classified environment.
Simplifying combat system integration
Getting track data, fusing sensor feeds and understanding correlation logic is highly specialist and usually takes years of domain experience. The SDK packages all of this into ready-to-use services, letting developers focus on their idea.
Continuously updates so external innovation always stays aligned with the real Combat Management system
The SDK stays in lockstep with the INTeACT CMS, ensuring developers are always working with the latest software behaviours and interfaces.
Removing cost and licensing barriers that traditionally shut SMEs out
The SDK’s free, open defence licensing model means smaller companies and emerging technology players can participate without financial or contractual friction.
Inside the SDK
Easily programmable using: Java, Python.
Open interfaces: TEX 1.1, OARIS 3.0, ALMAS 1.5.A, C2INAV 1.2, TDAI 1.0.
