Innovative technologies are changing the world, having a profound impact on security and the way NATO operates. They also provide new opportunities for NATO militaries, helping them become more efficient, resilient, cost-effective and sustainable.
Our scientists and experts work to embrace the opportunities that these new technologies offer, adopting and integrating them in cooperation with industry, academia and Allied Partners, to accelerate innovation and help NATO remain a competitive and leading force.

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
NCIA has been supporting the Alliance with data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced data analytics, delivering practical outputs for the NATO community since 2018, when a group of data scientists and innovators started collaborating with different NATO entities. With the creation of the Chief Technology Office in 2021, NCIA officially launched a dedicated Data Science and AI team.
By exploiting Big Data and AI, the team provides services, capabilities, tools and expertise to the NATO community, enabling a better access to large volumes of information and analysis, and supporting better situational awareness and decision-making processes. Below are some of NCIA's projects:
