The next iteration of the NATO Innovation Challenge has opened, and will be accepting abstracts through October 5th, 2023. The focus is on Military Mobility: NATO is seeking innovative ideas, concepts, and solutions for military transportation planning, interoperable monitoring, and efficient planning applied throughout the Trans-European Transport Network. Some key focuses include interoperability with civilian systems, real-time tracking of transport-related data, road and rail infrastructure digitalization, threat resilience, and information sharing with diverse stakeholders.
The NATO Innovation Challenge was initiated in 2017, features two iterations per year, and serves as a brainstorming process and platform to address Alliance-wide challenges. Led by the NATO Innovation Hub from Allied Command Transformation, the NATO Innovation Challenge also coordinates with NATO Member Nations to understand priorities throughout the Alliance; this challenge on Military Mobility is co-organized with the Ministry of Defence of Slovenia. “The Slovenian Armed Forces fully supports all efforts to promote the development of future Allied capabilities, to identify advanced and emerging technologies, and to expand the NATO Innovation Network,” expressed Major General Robert Glavaš, Chief of the General Staff of the Slovenian Armed Forces.
