Allies enhance NATO’s digital posture

Brussels, 23 July 2025 – Twelve NATO Allies¹ have committed to develop and roll out a new digital network by 2030 through NATO’s Allied Software for Cloud and Edge Services (ACE) High Visibility Project (HVP). ACE will enable personnel in the field to create, distribute and store classified information securely.

The initiative will provide participating Allies with a common digital service and improve interoperability in operations through more efficient data sharing. It will also support data-driven decision-making by leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Initial funding for ACE will be up to 45 million euros with participating Allies expected to allocate additional resources for specific tasks. The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) will lead the execution of the project on behalf of the participating Allies. 
 
ACE will serve as the foundation for a scalable, software-driven approach to defence capabilities making the development and delivery of mission-critical applications and services faster and more secure. This in turn will enhance NATO’s ability to respond swiftly to evolving operational demands, ensuring digital systems remain responsive, updated and ready for use.
