ProgrammesNATO DIANA is seeking dual-use technologies that can help military users make faster, more reliable decisions in complex and contested environments. The challenge looks at tools that improve situational awareness, data fusion, analysis and human-machine interaction. Selected innovators may be able to test and refine their solutions through the DIANA programme.
NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) has published a challenge on decision superiority for NATO warfighters. The challenge is designed to find dual-use solutions that help users collect, combine and interpret large amounts of information in real time, including in degraded or contested settings. The focus appears to include improved situational awareness, support for command decisions, and tools that help turn data into usable insight.
Relevant technologies may include artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced analytics, sensor fusion, visualisation, decision-support systems and human-machine teaming. The challenge appears to look for solutions that can work across domains and support faster, more accurate and more resilient decision-making.
For this challenge, DIANA seeks to identify AI-enhanced, ML and related software solutions to increase analytical depth, dynamism, and decision speed during operational planning and execution.
This challenge is targeted at start-ups, scale-ups and non-traditional suppliers to the defence industry, with mature solutions that are TRL7 or above to enable deployment within months.
Further details should be checked on the official challenge page, including scope, eligibility, deadlines and application conditions: https://www.diana.nato.int/challenges/decision-superiority-for-nato-warfighters.html

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
