WASHINGTON — Google has been tapped to provide classified cloud services, including AI, to a unique collaboration between NATO and Ukraine whose mission is to analyze data and lessons-learned from the ongoing war with Russia, the company announced Monday.
Google said the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) had awarded a “multi-million dollar” contract for its Google Distributed Cloud to “handle classified workloads” for the nearly year-old Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC), which formally opened this February in the Polish town of Bydgoszcz, already a growing hub of NATO training, tech, and other alliance activities.
As a “unique” NATO partnership with a foreign country, according to its website, “JATEC identifies and supports the [application of] lessons from Russia’s war against Ukraine.” It also claims a leading role in NATO’s adoption of cloud computing: “The first place NATO will see these technologies at work is at JATEC.”
