Revolutionary Breakthroughs Revealed by STM at NATO Summit
STM, a prominent pioneer in advanced technologies within the Turkish defense domain, will showcase its offerings and engineering expertise in command, control, and decision-support frameworks to esteemed international delegations at the NATO Edge and I/TSEC events in the United States (USA).
STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş., a leader in the development of progressive and cutting-edge systems for the Turkish defense industry, continues to emphasize its exceptional technological and engineering proficiencies on the worldwide stage.
STM will engage in NATO Edge 2024, hosted by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), in Tampa, Florida, from December 3 to 5. At NATO Edge, NATO’s premier technology exposition, STM will exhibit its command and control capabilities and projects, attracting NATO allies, technology pioneers, and defense companies.
At the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), the largest global event for modeling, simulation, and training, STM will unveil its simulation and decision-support frameworks. This prestigious conference will occur in Orlando, Florida, from December 2 to 6, 2024, where STM will highlight its solutions, particularly the Simulation-Based Decision Support System (SIMDES), to the attending delegations.
NATO Entrusts STM with Its Intelligence Software
STM has undertaken a multitude of substantial engineering initiatives with significant added value for NATO. The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency), tasked with the provision, implementation, and maintenance of communication and information systems for NATO leadership and commanders, has conferred two major contracts to STM regarding the routing, collection, dissemination, and utilization of intelligence data within NATO. Intelligence applications, progressively evolved utilizing the agile software development approach tailored to user needs, will be employed to regulate the intelligence operations of NATO headquarters around the globe.
STM is actively involved in NATO initiatives in command and control, having successfully completed the NATO Integration Core (INT-CORE) Project, which enhances situational awareness on the battlefield. INT-CORE delivers precise, timely intelligence to decision-makers and integrates smoothly with command and control protocols, facilitating the transmission of crucial data regarding command operations, collective situational understanding, battlefield conditions, missions, and more. The NATO Integration Core (INT-CORE) has been effectively employed for information integration and data lake development, recently showcased during Exercise NATO CWIX 2024.
STM has played a critical role in providing technical solutions and development processes for NATO’s AirC2IS Project, NATO’s strategic-level air command and control and missile defense information system.
STM Enhances NATO’s Decision-Making Processes
STM has delivered 7 distinct exports to NATO in decision-support systems, providing strategic decision assistance through the NATO Integrated Resilience Decision Support Model. This framework, developed by NATO, is designed to analyze the impact of strategic disruptions such as pandemics, widespread power failures, cyber threats, and human migrations. This model is crucial for accurately assessing the effects of large-scale, complex challenges and aiding decision-makers in formulating effective strategies.
In the field of tactical/operational decision support, STM remains pivotal with its Simulation-Based Decision Support System (SIMDES), designed entirely with national expertise. Following the Goodwill Protocol signed between STM and NATO’s Maritime Security Centre of Excellence in 2022, scenario analyses for the EXER MARSEC-23 Operational Experimentation (OPEX) exercise were conducted using SIMDES ahead of field execution. SIMDES has also been effectively applied in STM’s platform design and concept development endeavors, as well as in domestic projects.
