NATO ACT

Expertise is a capability, and NATO treats it like one. 30 NATO-accredited Centres of Excellence link national know-how to NATO's needs, strengthening interoperability and shaping doctrine. Learn more: act.nato.int/article/2026-c… #WeAreNATO

Building operational advantage starts long before new capabilities reach the battlefield. That is what Force Lethality Enhancement (FLE) & Force Lethality Enhancement eXtended (FLEX) are helping @NATO do. Presented to political and military leaders at the #NATOSummit, #FLE & #FLEX show how @NATO_ACT is accelerating adaptation by turning capability challenges into simulation-validated options in months, not years: act.nato.int/?p=14106&previ… #WeAreNATO

Eyes in the sky for Task Force X-Central Mediterranean 🇮🇹 The Italian Air Force was playing an important role in the Alliance's first fully multi-domain Task Force X initiative: feeding data gathered by sensors aboard its aircraft into a shared operational picture, sharing that information across domains, and flying alongside uncrewed systems in the same airspace. Watch how it comes together ⬇️ #WeAreNATO

What stops a hostile drone in its tracks? Sometimes, a beam of light. Among the systems on display during the Task Force X-Central Mediterranean experimentation was a directed energy weapon that pairs 3D radar with electro-optical and infrared sensors to track incoming drones, then neutralises them with a 10-kilowatt laser. #WeAreNATO #TFX #TFXCentMed

From its home waters, the Italian Navy is helping shape how @NATO will operate at sea: crewed and uncrewed, side by side. Task Force X-Central Mediterranean, led by the Italian Defence General Staff with @NATO_ACT, is the Alliance's first Task Force X initiative to span all five domains. 🔗act.nato.int/article/tfx-ce… #WeAreNATO #TFX

The new website of the NATO–Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (#JATEC) is now live. Discover how Allied and Ukrainian experts are working side by side to strengthen interoperability and turn battlefield experience into practical outcomes for Ukraine and the Alliance. 🔗 jatec.nato.int #WeAreNATO @NATOinUkraine

Happy Bastille Day to France! 🇫🇷 France continues to strengthen NATO through innovation, operational excellence and a strong defence industrial base, advancing emerging technologies and building the capabilities that help make the Alliance better prepared for the future. #WeAreNATO🤝@OTAN_FR #14Juillet

From the first explosions over Kyiv to shaping drone innovation. One former Ukrainian soldier's story shows how Ukraine's battlefield experience is helping strengthen Allied readiness through the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC). 🎥 Watch his story below. #WeAreNATO @NATOinUkraine

Happy Statehood Day to Montenegro! 🇲🇪 Montenegro contributes to a stronger, more secure Alliance by embracing interoperability, strengthening regional stability & security, and building the capabilities needed for future readiness. #WeAreNATO🤝 @MontenegroNATO

Some call it football. Some call it soccer. We call it interoperability. Football fever, Alliance edition. #WeAreNATO #WorldCup2026 #WorldCup @NATOJALLC @NATO_JWC @NATO_JFTC @NATOAWACS @SHAPE_NATO @JFCNorfolk

Innovation delivers its greatest value when Allies, industry, and military operators work side by side. Task Force X-Central Mediterranean demonstrates how collaboration accelerates the transition from emerging technologies to military capability, strengthening interoperability and multi-domain awareness along NATO's Southern Flank. This is how NATO builds operational advantage. 🔗act.nato.int/article/tfx-ce… #WeAreNATO

Operational advantage starts with interoperability. Led by @NATO_ACT, #CWIX26 brings Allies together to test systems, validate interoperability and strengthen the Alliance's ability to operate as one. #WeAreNATO

Major General Christian Brejner Ishøj has assumed command of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC), the first joint NATO-Ukraine organisation within the @NATO Command Structure. At JATEC, NATO and Ukrainian personnel work side by side, turning hard-won battlefield lessons into Alliance-wide training, doctrine and interoperability. #WeAreNATO @NATOinUkraine

The #NATOSummit in Ankara set a clear direction: ✧ Ironclad commitment to Article 5 ✧ Defence investment rising ✧ New capabilities delivered ✧ Industry production expanding ✧ European Allies and Canada assuming greater responsibility Now it is time to deliver. At @NATO_ACT, we help build operational advantage by turning ambition, investment and innovation into interoperable military capability. #WeAreNATO

At #NATOSummit in Ankara, we showcased Allied interoperability in action. A live Common Operating Picture (COP) fused real-time data from air, land, maritime and space, including #TFXCentralMediterranean, #TFXArctic and other Allied contributions, into a single shared view. This is interoperability in practice, turning individual capabilities into shared awareness. #WeAreNATO

Speaking after the meeting with Allied Heads of State and Government at the #NATOSummit in Ankara, @NATO_SACT Adm. Pierre Vandier shares a clear message: last year was about investment; this year is about delivery. From contracts to capability, Allies are accelerating the transition to operational advantage. NATO 3.0 also requires Defence Industry 3.0. #WeAreNATO #NATO

How do emerging technologies become military capability? #TFX Central Mediterranean brings @NATO_ACT's operational experimentation to the tactical edge, turning uncrewed technology into operational capability. Building operational advantage. #WeAreNATO

As Allies gather for the #NATOSummit in Ankara, the challenge is clear: turn investment into military capability. Building operational advantage means delivering interoperable capability at the speed of modern warfare. Through experimentation, innovation and industry, @NATO_ACT is accelerating the adoption of capabilities that strengthen Allied deterrence & defence. #WeAreNATO

Off the coast of Iceland, @NATO is testing the future. The NATO Research Vessel Alliance has arrived for the first phase of #TFXArctic: three weeks of experimentation with networked uncrewed systems in one of the harshest maritime environments on the planet. Led by @NATO_ACT, delivered by @sto_cmre. #WeAreNATO @MFAIceland @NATO_MARCOM @JFCNorfolk
