NATO's AQAP 2131, which stands for "Allied Quality Assurance Publication," is part of a series of standards that aim to ensure quality in defence equipment and related products by setting out requirements that suppliers must meet.
AQAP 2131 is a NATO standard specifically designed for suppliers of defence equipment that includes software. It integrates traditional quality assurance practices with specific requirements for software development, aiming to enhance the reliability and quality of software used in defence applications. This standard is used by NATO member countries and others to ensure that military software meets rigorous safety and operational standards.
Compliance with AQAP 2131 ensures that businesses remain viable suppliers to NATO and contribute to the safety and effectiveness of defense operations involving software components.
