NATO Next Generation Modelling & Simulation (NexGen M&S) — Team CATALYST

Team CATALYST, a 7-company industry team led by By Light Professional IT Services (with Thales, Leonardo, Slitherine, ETE Technology, Horizon Strategies, Liberty Business Associates) formed to compete for NATO ACT's Next Generation Modelling & Simulation program; not yet awarded.

NATO's Next Generation Modelling & Simulation (NexGen M&S) program, run by NATO Allied Command Transformation under RFP-ACT-SACT-26-17 ('SPRINT 1'), seeks to establish a unified simulation-as-a-service environment supporting exercises, operational planning, strategic analysis, and wargaming. The agile procurement is structured to award contracts to up to five vendors rather than a single winner. By Light Professional IT Services formed the seven-company Team CATALYST (with ETE Technology, Thales, Leonardo, Slitherine, Horizon Strategies, and Liberty Business Associates) to compete; HQ SACT has reportedly completed proposal review, but no award had been publicly announced as of this review.
