STEADFAST DUEL 2026 – NATO Exercise
The NATO Space COE was proud to contribute to the NATO exercise STEADFAST DUEL 2026, which brought together approximately 8,000 military and civilian personnel from across Europe and the United States, involving all 32 Allied nations.
Directed by NATO’s Joint Warfare Centre, STEADFAST DUEL 2026 tested NATO’s regional defense plans in a simulated Article 5 collective defense scenario, with operations spanning the land, air, maritime, space and cyberspace domains.
The Space domain is an essential component of multi-domain operations. Integrating space-related expertise into operational planning and training helps strengthen understanding of the space environment and supports effective coordination across domains.
Through its contribution, the NATO Space COE reinforces its commitment to sharing expertise, supporting NATO training and exercises, and helping Allied forces prepare for evolving operational challenges!
