Google has secured a multi-million dollar cloud services deal with NATO to support the military alliance’s training and operational activities. The NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA), the alliance’s hub for delivering secure communication and information systems, signed the multi-year agreement with Google Cloud.

The partnership centers on Google Distributed Cloud, a secure, air-gapped cloud platform designed for organizations requiring isolated environments to handle sensitive data without internet connectivity. The system operates through fully disconnected infrastructure while maintaining AI capabilities for defense applications.

The NCIA focuses on digital modernization and cybersecurity for NATO’s 30+ member nations. The Google Cloud implementation will create an AI-enabled sovereign cloud designed to enhance data protection and operational efficiency across the alliance’s defense activities.

The cloud technology will support NATO’s defense environments through isolated systems that can process sensitive military data while maintaining complete separation from public internet networks.
