NC3A
Coordinates: 52°06′34″N 4°19′30″E / 52.10944°N 4.32500°E The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) was formed in 1996 by merging the SHAPE Technical Centre (STC) in The Hague, Netherlands; and the NATO Communications and Information Systems Agency (NACISA) in Brussels, Belgium. NC3A is part of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Organization (NC3O) and reports to the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board (NC3B). In July 2012, NC3A merged into the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA).
The agency has around 800 staff, of which around 500 are located in The Hague and 300 in Brussels. Broadly speaking, the Netherlands staff are responsible for scientific research, development and experimentation, while the Belgian staff provide technical project management and acquisition support for NATO procurement programmes.
The Agency is organised using a balanced matrix model, with four main areas: the Production area, Sponsor Accounts, Core Segment and Resources Division. The Production area comprises nine capability area teams (CATs) with various areas of expertise. The Sponsor Accounts area has Directors for each of the Agency's major sponsors, providing a single point of contact with the Agency. The Core Segment comprises a Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Director of Acquisition, who ensure coherency of the Agency's business, technical and acquisition processes respectively. The Resources Division handles Agency operations such as Human Resources, Finance, Graphics, Building Maintenance, etc. Since 2004, the Agency has used the PRINCE2 and PMI project management methodologies.
