In an ideal world it would be possible to bring together a weapon and aircraft that have no knowledge of each other. Both would employ standard mechanical attachments and a standard electrical interface. The aircraft/weapon combination would also have a standard method for both sides of the interface to discover each other and re‐configure their operation such that the aircraft is able to exploit the capabilities of the weapon with no system or software changes. Re‐configuration would be achieved by the data entered into the system. If this could be achieved we would have what is referred to as ‘Plug and Play’ weapons integration. This chapter outlines the ‘Plug and Play’ concept and relates the work sponsored by NATO for the advancement of these concepts and explains how the way forward has been defined for ‘Plug and Play’ weapons integration capabilities to be realised over the next few years.
