The NATO Distributed Synthetic Training (DST) Capability will provide Allies with a persistent capability to regularly and frequently execute multi-national training and exercises in a secure, synthetic environment. In October 2025, Ministers of Defence from 14 nations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a DST High Visibility Project (HVP). First, this brief will provide an overview of the NATO DST objectives and architecture, and highlight relations to critical efforts such M&S as a Service (MSaaS). Second, this brief will highlight the importance of including all warfighting domains into NATO DST, including Cyber and Space. Finally, this brief will summarize the way-ahead and options to get involved.
The brief will be augmented by perspectives from Air Force and Navy (tbc). Following the brief, the Chief Modeling and Simulation Officer (CMSO) and the Chair of the NATO Distributed Synthetic Training (DST) Capability High Visibility Project (HVP) will sign the agreement to include the United States as an Associated Member in this critical effort.
