Team CATALYST Reaches Sprint 3 of NATO Programme
The multinational team will join the next evaluation stage to show a secure, scalable synthetic environment for NATO training and planning.
Team CATALYST advanced to Sprint 3 of NATO Allied Command Transformation's Agile Procurement Process, led by By Light Professional IT Services LLC, one of five remaining bidders for the Next Generation Modelling and Simulation Programme.
Comprising six companies from across Alliance nations, the team integrates By Light, ETE Technology, Thales, Leonardo, Horizon Strategies, and Liberty Business Associates to deliver distributed simulation and data architecture expertise.
The NextGen M&S program delivers a common synthetic environment supporting four applications—training, wargaming, operational planning, and analysis—modernizing how NATO conducts Multi-Domain Operations across all warfighting domains.
"We see simulation not simply as a training tool," said By Light CEO Bob Donahue, emphasizing that it serves as operational infrastructure strengthening interoperability and enabling better Alliance decisions.
As evaluation progresses through Sprint 3, Team CATALYST remains focused on demonstrating a secure, scalable synthetic environment designed to equip commanders with decision advantage against emerging multi-domain threats.
