NATO M&S CoE has signed a Cooperation Arrangement (CA) with the Leonardo Company
In a significant development underscoring the principles of reciprocity and mutual benefit, the NATO Modelling and Simulation Centre of Excellence (NATO M&S COE) has signed a Cooperation Arrangement (CA) with the Leonardo Company. This significant partnership aims to enhance collaborative efforts in the field of Modelling and Simulation (M&S).
The agreement was formalized during a ceremony held at the NATO M&S COE attended by senior representatives from both organizations. The collaboration is designed to leverage the strengths and capabilities of Leonardo Company in conjunction with the strategic expertise and operational excellence of the NATO M&S COE.
The cooperation between Leonardo Company and the NATO M&S COE will cover different areas in the field of Modelling and Simulation: exercises, wargaming, artificial intelligence, M&S concept development and experimentation.
The agreement is a significant milestone, indeed, both parties bring together the best in technological innovation, and enhance NATO readiness to meet the challenges of today’s complex Multi-Domain operations environment (MDO). The agreement’s principles of reciprocity, the shared vision, and their know-how will ensure NATO’s operational effectiveness through superior modelling and simulation solutions.

The NATO Modelling & Simulation Centre of Excellence is dedicated to the promotion of Modelling & Simulation in support of operational requirements, training and interoperability. The Centre act as a catalyst for transformation through the involvement of NATO, governments, academia, industry, operational and training entities, by improving the networking of NATO and nationally owned Modelling & Simulation systems, the cooperation between Nations and organizations through the sharing of Modelling & Simulation information and developments and serving as an international source of expertise for transformation in the related domain. https://www.mscoe.org
NATO Centres of Excellence are nationally or multi-nationally funded institutions accredited by NATO. They train and educate leaders and specialists from NATO member and partner countries, assist in doctrine development, identify lessons learned, improve interoperability and capabilities, and test and validate concepts through experimentation. They offer recognized expertise and experience that is of benefit to the Alliance and support the transformation of NATO, while avoiding the duplication of assets, resources and capabilities already present within the NATO command structure. Although not part of the NATO command structure, they are part of a wider framework supporting NATO Command Arrangements. [source https://www.act.nato.int/centres-of-excellence]
