STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş., under the leadership of the Defence Industry Agency (SSB), has signed a goodwill protocol with the NATO Maritime Security Centre of Excellence (MARSEC COE), the company announced on 4 July.

The two organisations pledge to work together in the field of maritime security, to which end the involvement of STM ThinkTech, Türkiye’s first technology-based think tank, is planned. The company will provide innovative solutions to NATO MARSEC COE via modelling, simulation, and decision support systems.

“Since 2019, STM ThinkTech, as NATO’s solution partner, has been providing state-of-the-art strategic level decision support systems for NATO’s resilience domain […] We will continue to provide our genuine engineering solutions to distinguished institutions such as NATO,” stated STM General Manager, Özgür Güleryüz.

STM ThinkTech has provided a wide range of consultancy services to public and private organisations and has previously exported decision support systems to NATO. The NATO Aggregated Resilience  Decision Support Model, developed by STM ThinkTech, supports the Alliance’s decision-making processes in the face of strategic shocks such as pandemics, large-scale power outages, cyber attacks, and large scale human movement.

STM, which also carries out C² projects for NATO, has successfully completed the NATO Integration Core (INT-CORE) project, ensuring the provision of significant support to situational awareness across the battlefield. INT-CORE provides accurate information to decision makers at the right time, and incorporates C² work processes that can support the distribution of information on C², joint picture, battlefield, missions, etc.
