By joining the APSS Programme, we will ensure continuous and effective surveillance from space, vital for rapid responses to new security threats. Romania is interested in participating in such projects that promote innovation and ensure access to cutting-edge technologies," said Tilvar.The APSS programme is designed to improve and accelerate operational situational awareness and support decision-making within NATO by increasing access to data, services and space capabilities.Officially launched in 2023, the "Alliance Persistent Surveillance from Space" initiative is intended to strengthen NATO's capabilities to collect and manage space data in an efficient and coordinated manner.According to MApN, this innovative initiative wants to change the way NATO collects, processes and distributes intelligence, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, maintaining technological advantage and improving decision-making speed and efficiency.
