NATO Defense College

The NATO Defense College is the Alliance's premier academic institution. The College is based on three main pillars: education, research and outreach.

We concentrate on the high-level political-military issues that confront both civilian and military leadership in the Alliance and at the national level. We strive to promote debate, to seek consensus, and to master the skills needed to succeed in a multinational environment. The idea of a NATO Defense College (NDC) originated in 1951 from General Eisenhower, who identified the need for a new international institution with a unique educational mission.

🤔Is NATO betting too heavily on naval drones?

A new NATO Defense College paper by David Blagden challenges the growing assumption that uncrewed surface and sub-surface vessels (USVs/UUVs) can close the gap with Russian naval mass without straining already stretched Western budgets.

A timely read for anyone following defense innovation, maritime strategy, or NATO's evolving naval posture.

Why do NATO Allies, faced with the same intelligence, reach different conclusions?

The new NDC publication by Nikki Ikani moves beyond the blunt verdict of 'intelligence failure' and offers a four-dimension diagnostic framework — analysis, process, politics, and Allied integration — to pinpoint exactly where warning chains break down and where they hold.
