Securing today, forging the defence of tomorrow: Through digital mastery.

In a time where resilience is non-discretionary, we empower the Armed Forces and Defence Ministries to maintain operational advantage through data-led transformation.

An area undergoing digital change

The Nortal Factor

Our experience building the world’s first digital government has established a scalable digital transformation and resilience model. This, coupled with our extensive catalogue of best practices across both public and private sectors, positions us uniquely in Europe, NATO, and globally.

We can amplify existing digital, defensive cyber, and resilience practices within defence to build capacity and protect the supply chain, industry partners, and broader national security. This is not just an episodic national endeavour but a global necessity – the crises we face are international in scope, demanding cross-border collaboration and partnerships.

Core capabilities

All sectors need to consider how they contribute to an existential survival crisis. A symbiotic exchange between defence and broader public and private sector knowledge is required. We can make this a reality. 

Digital Transformation

Cyber Force Protection

Resilience

In an ever-increasing threat environment, our dependency on technology and data is the ‘vital ground’ of 21st-century competition and conflicts. Nortal is uniquely positioned to translate a nation-state’s government digitisation into the defence of nations, coalitions, and alliances – harnessing R&D to deliver digital transformation, ensure resilience, and set conditions for cyber force protection.

Cyber resilience in action: Why cyber exercising is the key to surviving digital threats

Technology alone cannot make you cyber resilient – people are often the weakest link, and without proper preparation, even the most advanced defences can crumble.

Insights

We develop secure, reliable technologies to meet the ever-changing needs of defence systems.

iMUGS

As part of the integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System (iMUGS) Program, we advance next-generation cyber resilience and GNSS assurance capabilities for unmanned and autonomous systems. Building on our work in iMUGS Phase 1, we are delivering an enhanced, platform-agnostic Cyber Defence System in Phase 2, providing real-time detection and response to cyber threats such as onboard system compromises, contested GNSS environments, network intrusions, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Designed for operations across land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains, the solution supports trusted use of autonomous systems in both defence and critical civilian sectors, including automotive, energy, manufacturing, and mining, while contributing to Europe’s strategic autonomy.

ACHILE

As a named partner and core team member, we contribute to the ACHILE project by ensuring robust system security through IT and cyber security solutions. ACHILE aims to revolutionise soldier systems with an open architecture based on the GOSSRA standard, enhancing key dismounted combat capabilities, including survivability, mobility, situational awareness, and communication. The project focuses on developing soldier-level and team-level capabilities, integrating advanced robotics, networking, and weapon interactions. 

CITADEL Range

As technical coordinator and a key contributor, we support the CITADEL Range project in developing next-generation capabilities for cyber defence training, exercises, and mission rehearsal across Europe. The project delivers a modular, platform-agnostic suite of cyber range tools and frameworks that enhance realism, scalability, and cost-efficiency.


Designed to support full-spectrum cyber defence, CITADEL Range enables cross-border and multi-domain exercises, secure handling of classified information, and interoperability between EU Member States. By leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital twins, and introducing a common Exercise Description Language, the project strengthens collaboration, standardisation, and operational readiness.


The solution complements existing cyber ranges and contributes to Europe’s strategic autonomy by enabling trusted, coordinated, and high-fidelity cyber defence training and exercising capabilities.

EC2

We are contributing to the development of a strategic European Command and Control (C2) System to satisfy the needs of a future fully operational EU headquarters. It intends to enhance and further develop the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) of the EEAS towards a true strategic EU headquarters, covering a variety of military operations. It will be a critical enabler for operations and missions under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). It will provide the EU with a multi-domain command and control (C2) solution, enabling centralisation of all operational capabilities in a single access point.
