Mission effectiveness from HQ to the tactical edge
Today’s militaries need increasingly flexible capability to respond to a range of situations, from high-intensity conflict to grey zone countermeasures and humanitarian assistance. To achieve their goals, militaries will continue to mix coalition actions and sovereign capabilities.
Nexium Defence Cloud Edge is a proven, secure mission-ready solution that enables joint force and coalition operations to operate effectively, in a disconnected environment at the tactical edge.
NDC Edge delivers a sovereign capability that is designed to be compatible with Five Eyes nations, NATO Federated Mission network, as well as humanitarian aid and other civilian applications such as health, emergency response, justice and policing.
“NDC Edge delivers capability advantage across all domains from the headquarters to the tactical level. The targeted capabilities are more agile in their deployment, more interoperable in their use & deliver a more decisive impact on the battlefield”

Strong Local Partnerships
Close collaboration with our local SME partners, archTIS, Fortifyedge and Myriad has enabled new technologies, developed by the SMEs, to be seamlessly integrated and made available to coalition forces through the solution to run on the tactical edge. Together, these niche technologies will deliver benefits to the New Zealand Defence Force, as well as other Allied nations.
Strong Global partnerships
To build the best possible solution, we have brought together Thales, Microsoft and Dell to deliver a solution to meet the Mission outcomes for the Defence Force.
“Defense forces operate in a rapidly evolving threat environment, requiring new mission capability to be developed and deployed at the speed of relevance. Commercial companies, small businesses, and non-traditional partners are essential to introducing innovation into the defense landscape, and Microsoft and Thales are working together to bolster this partner landscape and create new opportunities for innovation within the defense ecosystem.”
