NATO Terminology Standardization Project: TTMS Collaboration

Marcin Kapuściński

Transition Technologies MS (TTMS) in consortium with its sister company, Transition Technologies Software, and BREVCO Services, will be executing a project for NATO’s Standardization Office (NSO) with a contract valued at EUR 0.9 million.

As part of this NSO agency project, a new system will be developed to create, manage, and disseminate military terminology. TTMS, along with TT Software, will be responsible for the complete, active implementation of the IT solution. This new system is designed to generate precise definitions of specialized military terms and technical vocabulary, managing terminology effectively to ensure all NATO military units have access to standardized terms. This unified lexicon aims to streamline communication, procedures, and operations across NATO through a shared set of standards and definitions.

This project adds to our defense sector experience, where we have previously implemented technologies for cyber anomaly detection, decision support in anti-aircraft defense, and battlefield coordination. The goal of the new system is to facilitate NATO communications so that all alliance members, agencies, and units have clear understandings of military terminology. For acronyms, our system will ensure standardization, which will be stored and updated in NATO’s terminology database on an ongoing basis – says Sebastian Sokołowski, President of TTMS – In previous projects, we primarily developed C4ISR systems (support in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) for Polish defense firms, ground forces, and anti-aircraft defense. In some of these, we continue to provide maintenance and development services. The newest project will be implemented over a year and a half, marking the first stage of a larger undertaking NATO plans in the coming years” adds the President of TTMS.

Subsequent project stages will include building semantic models and naming ontologies and acronyms, creating a foundation for training AI algorithms. The goal is to support the development of autonomous combat systems in later stages, where the concept and symbol recognition model will be used to unify communication not only in human-to-human but also human-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions.


In summary of our commitment to the defense sector, TTMS provides comprehensive IT services, including the development of command and control (C2), combat support, and C4ISR systems across all operational levels. With security-certified experts meeting NATO and ESA standards, we drive technological innovation to support the unique demands of this sector.
