NATO personnel are receiving extended training support in SitaWare Headquarters - the Alliance's new digital Land Command and Control (C2) software. The agreement marks an important step in the continued enhancement of NATO’s battle-management, situational awareness and interoperability capabilities.
As part of the ongoing DEMETER Project, a new contract has been signed between NATO and Systematic to extend and expand the delivery of both classroom and computer-based learning. This contract ensures seamless continuation and adaptation of current and future Land C2 training, while also securing the Alliance’s ability to provide learning throughout the capability lifecycle.
This joint initiative also broadens the overall scope of education through SitaWare Aspire, Systematic’s digital learning platform, within the NCI Academy training framework. New training will be introduced, with the flexibility to adjust content to NATO’s evolving operational requirements and long-term training objectives.

Project DEMETER, is on track to achieve its target of Full Operating Capability (FOC) by end-March 2026. To support this progress, the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and Systematic are now extending their co-operation to further strengthen training collaboration.
Building on an established partnership
“This joint approach to training delivery, with Systematic continuing to deliver training relating to COTS functionality and NATO providing the governance and NATO context, will continue to ensure the best possible learning experience for the NATO Land C2 operator,” stated Will Leeming, DEMETER Project Manager at NATO Communications and Information (NCI) Agency
“This second phase of the DEMETER project reflects the strong and growing cooperation between NATO and Systematic. The continued and enhanced capabilities offer a flexible, fast and dynamic approach to training. Together we are supporting NATO’s ambition to create and maintain the most superior Land C2 picture,” said Sven Trusch, Managing Director of Systematic’s German subsidiary.
