Concept Development & Experimentation

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.
