Traditional methods by which CI operators execute their tasks require integrating with the latest technological innovations or organizational adaptation. One of NATO CI COE’s main Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) tasks is to explore, conceptualize, and experiment solutions to meet those requirements. In addition to recommending and supporting the implementation of solutions identified through the CD&E process in CI-related doctrine, standards, and procedures, the NATO CI COE is also coordinating national and multinational efforts in the CD&E area to improve CI capabilities while saving resources and avoiding duplications. The CD&E Branch is constantly conceptualizing and developing a wide range of CI-related products and services for NATO, its member Nations, and other customers to improve and support NATO CI interoperability and capability as part of the overall NATO transformation process.
