Welcome to NATOTerm, the official NATO Terminology Database.
NATOTerm contains non-classified military terminology, as well as non-military terminology relevant to NATO. NATOTerm is available in both NATO official languages, i.e. English and French, and is maintained by the NATO Terminology Office, which is part of the NATO Standardization Office.
NATOTerm is updated on a regular basis to promulgate newly approved terminology. In addition to this, NATOTerm is being populated with the legacy terminology from specialist NATO glossaries.
Overviews of the most recent updates are listed below in chronological order.
Please inform the NATO Terminology Office if you have come across any mistakes, discrepancies or missing data.
