We’re grateful for the opportunity to support NATO ACT’s efforts to advance Allied Readiness with TFX-B. It’s a privilege to contribute to this important work in partnership with dedicated teams on the ground.
🚤 From proof to power in the Baltic. Following a fast, successful deployment and integration effort, Allied nations are now backing Task Force X Baltic with real investment to deliver on the goals endorsed at the last #NATOSummit, supported by NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT)'s coordination. 🤝 Eight NATO Allies - Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Sweden - support a rapid adoption model that’s credible and scalable. ⚓ What does Task Force X Baltic add to Baltic readiness? 🔹Eyes on the water: unmanned vessels that patrol persistently and react fast 🔹Safer seabed infrastructure: spotting and deterring threats to undersea cables and critical lines 🔹Works with naval forces: designed to operate side by side with crewed ships 🔹Proven at speed: deployed in under five months, showing rapid delivery and resilience 📈 The model is now being scaled, with more Task Force X work to come as operational needs evolve. #WeAreNATO #TFX #MaritimeSecurity #Innovation #Readiness #Defence #Deterrence #Autonomy #UnderseaInfrastructure
