November 3 2025 In a dynamically changing international security environment, the role of domestic industry in building defense systems is gaining strategic importance. For years, Qwerty has been supplying advanced operator interfaces—membrane keyboards and graphic overlays—for specialized military applications, thus supporting the defense capabilities of our country.
Our company holds the AQAP 2010:2016 (Allied Quality Assurance Publication) certification, which confirms that our quality management systems comply with the highest NATO standards. This is not just formal recognition of competence, but above all, a guarantee that every component leaving our facilities meets the rigorous requirements imposed on military equipment.
Why does military equipment require exceptional solutions?
Military devices operate under conditions not experienced by civilian equipment. They must function reliably during a sandstorm in the desert, in sub-zero temperatures at winter training grounds, or in the humid climate of the jungle. Additionally, they are exposed to shocks, vibrations, and intense electromagnetic radiation.
Basic requirements for military equipment:
- Resistance to temperatures from -40°C to +70°C
- Sealing protection against dust, water, and chemicals
- Reliable operation after thousands of usage cycles
- Compliance with MIL-STD electromagnetic standards
- Ability to operate while wearing tactical gloves
Our membrane keyboards designed for the defense sector therefore feature exceptional mechanical and environmental durability. We use special polyester foils resistant to extreme temperatures, UV coatings for protection against degradation, and advanced sealing systems ensuring protection class IP65 or higher.
Our keyboards and interfaces in military equipment
Practical implementations of our technologies in defense systems cover a variety of areas—from basic training equipment to advanced devices for special operations. Each of these applications requires an individual design approach and specialized materials and production technologies tailored to specific operational requirements.
Training systems and simulators
Modern military training is based on advanced simulators that reproduce realistic operational scenarios. Our membrane keyboards used in battlefield simulator control panels are designed for intensive, long-term operation.
An example is the target used in a laser training system, where print precision and resistance to mechanical damage directly affect the effectiveness of soldiers’ training. The materials we use withstand thousands of training cycles, maintaining label readability and full functionality.
Equipment for special operations
For manufacturers of night-vision devices, we developed ultra-thin membrane keyboards with raised button fields and a silent activation mechanism. This solution enables discreet operation in nighttime conditions, where every sound can reveal an operator’s position.
A bomb-disposal robot controlled with our operator panel is another example where the reliability of the interface directly affects safety. The keyboard was optimized for use with thick EOD gloves and is resistant to shocks generated during explosive ordnance neutralization.
Communication and cryptographic systems
In tactical military communication, every second counts, and equipment failure can cost lives. Our membrane keyboards used in communication devices offer integrated ESD/EMI protection and multi-level confirmation functions, which are essential when entering encryption codes.
It is worth mentioning control panels for military batteries, where chemical resistance to electrolytes and technical lubricants, as well as complete sealing, allow safe monitoring of power parameters in harsh field conditions.
NATO certification as a guarantee of quality
Holding the AQAP 2010:2016 certification means that our design, production, and control processes have been verified through independent audits and meet standards required in NATO countries. This is not only a prestigious distinction but also a commitment to our partners in the defense sector.
The certification includes comprehensive quality control at every stage of production—from materials verification, through monitoring technological process parameters, to final functional tests. This ensures repeatability of parameters and failure-free operation of every component we produce.
Our involvement in the defense sector is not just business activity, but an expression of responsibility for national security. By cooperating with Polish manufacturers of military equipment, we contribute to building the country’s technological independence and strengthening the operational capabilities of the Polish Armed Forces.
In times when regional stability requires defense readiness, every component of military equipment carries strategic significance. Thanks to our experience, advanced technologies, and NATO certification, we are ready to support Poland’s defense with top-class technological solutions.
