Interoperability is what turns 32 nations into one operational force.
As threats evolve across land, air, maritime, cyber, and space, NATO’s ability to connect forces, share information, and coordinate action at speed has become essential to deterrence and defence.

At NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT), interoperability is built through continuous training, testing, experimentation, and cooperation across the Alliance. A key part of that effort is , NATO’s largest interoperability exercise and testing ground for digital interoperability.

By bringing Allied and Partner nations together to test systems in a coalition environment, CWIX helps strengthen operational integration, reduce risk before deployment, and accelerate NATO’s adaptation to emerging challenges and technologies.

As NATO continues to adapt, success depends not only on new capabilities and technologies, but on the people who bring them into practice. Across the Alliance, non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel play a critical role in turning strategic objectives into operational effect, leading teams, developing future talent, and ensuring readiness where it matters most.

Today, senior enlisted leaders from across the Alliance gather at the International Command Senior Enlisted Leader (CSEL) Conference 2026 under the theme "Adapting Now to Shape the Skills of Tomorrow."

This conference is a forum for senior enlisted leaders to shape how NATO prepares its people for emerging technologies, evolving threats, and the demands of modern warfare. From professional development and leadership to innovation and adaptation, the focus is on ensuring the Alliance's workforce remains ready for the challenges ahead.

Because NATO's ability to deter, defend, and adapt ultimately depends on the strength, professionalism, and leadership of its people.

🇭🇷 Happy Statehood Day, !
Croatia is consistently strengthening NATO's edge in modern warfare. Through modern land capabilities, drone production, counter-drone innovation, and support to NATO’s eastern flank, Croatia is helping the Alliance stay ready, adaptable, and strong.

“WE are NATO,” says Sergeant Major Remigijus Katinas, NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT)'s Command Senior Enlisted Leader. “Every person has a role in the Alliance’s defence, and every person must be ready to carry that responsibility with discipline, skill and commitment.” That responsibility is carried every day by NATO’s enlisted personnel and Non-Commissioned Officers, the people who turn strategy into operational effect across the Alliance.

As warfare evolves and technology reshapes the battlefield, NCOs remain essential to NATO’s ability to adapt, innovate, and operate together effectively. They train forces, strengthen interoperability, translate commander’s intent into action, and help ensure Allied personnel are prepared to make decisions in increasingly complex operational environments.

Why does NATO's ability to adapt and innovate matter more than ever?
Because future readiness is built by testing, learning, and delivering capability at speed today.

That is why NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT)’s Beacon Projects are critical to strengthening the Alliance’s future military advantage. They focus on initiatives that can deliver real military value within 12 months and help close recognised capability gaps across the Alliance.

The model is simple. Test solutions at scale, in operationally relevant conditions, and help Allies reduce risk before moving forward.

Different domains. One shared purpose: solve real problems now while also shaping future capability.

The transatlantic bond depends on leaders who understand how Allies operate, adapt, and deliver together.

NATO welcomed a group of rising U.S. defence professionals as part of the Pentagon’s Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP), a competitive 10-month programme focused on developing the next generation of civilian and military leaders.

Through strategic engagements, military immersion, and a Model NATO event, organized by NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT) team, participants explored how the Alliance works in practice: building consensus, aligning national perspectives, and turning shared priorities into collective action. Investing in defence leaders today helps ensure the Alliance remains ready, connected, and able to adapt together.

Threats evolve across domains simultaneously. Decision cycles shrink. And the gap between anticipating change and reacting to these changes has never been more consequential.

Staying ahead requires more than analysis. It demands structured foresight, shared frameworks, and the courage to question established assumptions.

The Allied Foresight Conference is where that work happens, bringing together military leaders, strategists, academics, and innovators to sharpen NATO's edge in an era of accelerating uncertainty.

Every military operation today depends on space. That's exactly why adversaries are targeting it.
NATO’s response is to build space capabilities that are resilient, integrated, and ready before threats materialise. That means concrete programmes already in development:

→ Space Domain Awareness Programme
→ Alliance Federated Surveillance and Control (AFSC)
→ Smart Indication and Warning, Broad Area Detection System (SINBAD)

It also means building a foundational NATO space capability layer into the next Defence Planning cycle, across Nations, Commands, and industry.

Because without space, operations across every other domain are at risk. That is the stakes.

NATO is actively strengthening how the Alliance detects, tracks, and counters drone threats. That is exactly what the Layered Counter-UAS Initiative (LCI-X) is designed to support.

As one of NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT)’s 2026 Beacon Projects, LCI-X brings together Allied nations, NATO commands, industry, and innovation actors to test how sensors, command-and-control systems, electronic warfare tools, and effectors can work together under realistic operational conditions. The initiative is designed to identify integration challenges early, refine operational concepts, and accelerate the path from experimentation to usable capability.

LCI-X reflects a broader shift in how NATO approaches innovation: testing, learning, adapting, and integrating at the speed in order to gain practical military advantage.

Maintaining NATO’s advantage means connecting innovation directly to operational needs.
Admiral Pierre Vandier, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, and Mr. Steen Soenderagaard, NATO Chief Scientist & Chair of the Science and Technology Board (STB) have signed a structured partnership between NATO - Allied Command Transformation (ACT) and the NATO Science & Technology Organization CSO, creating a stronger and faster pipeline from research to operational impact.

The agreement strengthens how NATO connects scientific research and emerging technologies with military transformation, capability development, experimentation, and operational delivery across the Alliance.

Most importantly, the cooperation focuses on turning scientific results into practical outcomes, from prototypes and demonstrations to mission-ready capabilities.
