We are looking forward to attending the 21st NATO Life Cycle Management Conference again this year. This year’s theme, Cooperating for Capability: Life Cycle Management, the key enabler from investment to combat power, is a timely focus as NATO and its allies respond to a rapidly evolving security landscape in Europe. For MODs and primes alike, effective Life Cycle Management depends on trustworthy, accessible product and support information that can be used with confidence through-life.
Join us next week in Brussels on 20–21 January 2026. Don’t miss Simon Pettersson’s presentation on Digital Foundations for Defence Sustainment: Collaborative Data Delivery across Defence Stakeholders, where he will share practical insights on establishing consistent information requirements and enabling collaborative, standardised data delivery between materiel authorities and prime contractors. Make sure to also stop by the Eurostep booth to discuss your programme challenges, ask questions, and explore pragmatic ways to improve assurance, traceability, and controlled collaboration across your supply chain.

Date: Tuesday, 20 January 2026
Time: 13:20 – 13:40
Material management organisations are increasingly focused on consistent and standardised methods to ensure essential materiel data is available and usable. Early identification of information requirements and clear expectations for data delivery are critical success factors in Life Cycle Management (LCM) and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS). Digital tools can help initiate information requests, monitor deliverables, and enable ongoing collaboration when updated deliveries are needed due to changing mission profiles, operational environments, or maintenance strategies.
This presentation shares practical insights from implementation projects that enable collaboration between materiel administration authorities and prime contractors, ensuring equipment data is accessible to support data-driven analyses and more predictable, cost-effective operation and maintenance of defence systems.

Why meet Eurostep at the 21st NATO LCM Conference?
Defence organisations rely on product support information to sustain readiness, availability, and cost control. Yet in many programmes, that information is fragmented across disciplines, partners, contracts, and systems, leading to inconsistent deliveries, manual reconciliation, limited traceability, and slower decisions.
Meet Eurostep at the conference to discuss practical ways to change that:
- Trusted foundations for sustainment information
Establish consistent methods for defining what information is required, how it is structured, and how it is delivered, so your teams can act on decision-ready data. - Contracting for information that holds up through-life
Translate contractual information requirements into governed, repeatable deliveries you can manage, verify, and keep consistent as requirements evolve. - Secure collaboration across MODs, primes, and suppliers
Share the right data with the right stakeholders while protecting IP boundaries, enforcing access rights, and improving accountability. - Assurance, traceability, and configuration context
Review and validate submissions and maintain an audit trail so you can trust what you receive and understand what changed, when, and why. - Practical insights from real implementations
Learn what works from recent projects enabling collaboration between materiel administration authorities and prime contractors to support predictable, cost-effective operation and maintenance.
