Areas of Work
Security of Supply Awareness
SOSCOE researches and analyses global and regional supplychain vulnerabilities, conducts early warning assessments and maps critical dependencies.
This work covers the geopolitical and technological factors that affect supply chains, including hybrid threats, emerging technologies and the linkages between supply resilience and energy transition.
By sharing findings across the Alliance and with partners, the Centre strengthens situational awareness and informs decisionmakers.
Adaptation, Preparedness and ResilienceBuilding
To help NATO and its members adapt to contested supply environments, SOSCOE develops doctrine and offers training that improve preparedness and resilience.
The Centre assesses requirements for military capabilities, equipment and infrastructure, and promotes crosssectoral information sharing to encourage coherent national and collective strategies.
Contributing to Security of Supply
The Centre fosters best practices in defence and military supplychain management, resilient procurement and the adoption of circular economy principles.
By exploring alternative materials, production methods and logistics solutions—often involving new technologies such as distributed ledgers, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence—it contributes to reducing vulnerabilities and strengthening sustainable, resilient supply networks.
