Timeline

2026-06-22 - Capability - Project Q validates HYDRIS interoperability at NATO TIE26 - The exercise tested interoperability across the counter-UAS detect-to-defeat chain. HYDRIS demonstrated SAPIENT-compatible integration in a multi-vendor environment. Project Q described the result as plug-and-fight interoperability for heterogeneous systems. - source: project-q.ai
2026-05-11 - Partnership - Project Q and HAT.tec sign multi-domain defence integration MoU - The integration connects heterogeneous sensor data with mission planning and execution. HYDRIS and SCALE had already demonstrated technical and operational fit in existing projects. The companies framed the MoU as a foundation for long-term joint innovation… - source: project-q.ai
