NITECH 11 also celebrates key moments and milestones for NCIA, such as Steadfast Defender, NATO's largest military exercise since the Cold War, the accreditation of the SANDI data science and artificial intelligence (AI) sandbox, and dynamic sourcing.
"I am proud that NCIA makes interoperability possible by providing the digital solutions that connect the Alliance," writes NCIA General Manager, Ludwig Decamps in his foreword (page 5). "We are evolving to ensure NATO can maintain its technological edge, and while the face of technology changes, those core principles established 75 years ago remain enduring: peace, security, liberty, and the rule of law."
Sweden's Defence Minister, Pål Jonson, writes about Sweden's ambitions within NATO, as the newest Ally, and outlines how technology will help defend NATO and its territory (page 56). Dr Michael Street and Dr Sandro Bjelogrlic from NCIA's Exploiting Data Science and AI team share insights into the new NATO AI chatbot they developed and are piloting (page 79). Ivana Ilic Mestric, Principal Data Scientist discusses her inspiration to pursue a STEM career, diversity and inclusion at NCIA, and the contributions of women that impact NCIA technology development and benefit NATO (page 86).
From the evolution and establishment of NCIA to its support at the most recent NATO Cyber Coalition exercise, this latest edition of NITECH will certainly provide insightful summer reading.
