Thirty-three teams from 15 NATO countries and partners participated in the competition. Over five days of intensive work, participants created AI solutions for real operational challenges of the Alliance.

The VITI team, representing the Ukrainian Armed Forces, won first place in the most difficult challenge — Automated Intelligence Fusion and Analysis Informed Targeting.

VITI officers developed a prototype of a multi-agent AI system that:

  • automatically integrates intelligence data from diverse sources;

  • performs adaptive target prioritization;

  • generates courses of action (kinetic, non-kinetic, cyber);

  • accelerates the decision-making cycle for commanders at all levels in real time.

The developed prototype has the potential to become the basis for Next Generation Targeting, one of ACT’s key projects aimed at achieving the Alliance’s technological advantage.

“We congratulate the winning team! We are proud of the VITI officers who are shaping Ukraine’s digital advantage and contributing to the security of the Alliance”, — the institute stated.
