Once Britain and likely the Netherlands join Denmark, other navies and manufacturers have a stronger reason to design payloads for the same interface. Shared demand can lower the cost of moving from Harpoon to Naval Strike Missile or developing another common module because several users support the production run. The British-American Trident pool offers an analogy: missiles return to common maintenance before being issued again. StanFlex modules could similarly circulate through upgrade, storage, and fleet service rather than remain tied permanently to one hull. A shared industrial and logistics base would make interoperability cheaper to sustain.

How allied demand could create a module market and common pool
More participating navies would spread development costs, support shared production, and make pooled module maintenance and upgrades practical.
