Maintaining NATO’s Technological Edge – A Snapshot of the work of NATO Researchers – NATO HQ

In his Annual Report, the NATO Secretary General spoke in his foreword of the need to maintain our technological edge, to remain competitive in a more competitive world. Three publications show how NATO researchers are pursuing this task.

Despite the pandemic that marked 2020 and will continue to challenge us in 2021, the NATO Science & Technology Organization (STO) and its network of over national 6,000 scientists, engineers and analysts delivered a tremendous programme of work (PoW). This programme demonstrates, once again, that the STO stays at the forefront of science & technology and remains committed to sustaining the Alliances technological advantage.

In March 2021, the STO issued three reports to introduce the general public to a selection of the impressive results achieved over the last year and to offer an overview of its future projects.

As the NATO Chief Scientist, Dr Bryan Wells highlighted: Supporting National and NATO priorities on delivering innovation for the Alliance has been a particular focus of the work of the STO in 2020.

While the threats that existed before the pandemic have not diminished, the STO remains committed to supporting, advising and preparing Nations and NATO for the emerging technological environment and future challenges.
