The spread of disinformation on social media platforms has been, and continues to have a destabilizing effect on NATO partner countries and their election integrity. In order to best combat this problem, information from edge and vulnerable countries can be aggregated by ACT in Norfolk and analyzed in real time using existing technologies such as AI-FELIX. The capabilities of these technologies can be rapidly upgraded with the TEXAS project framework. Trends of disinformation can then be distributed to affected countries from centralized NATO command, and through partnership with cooperative social media platforms. Each country using this NATO SAR can then take actions that best suit their geopolitical climate, based upon SOPs that would be developed based on past effective actions. Costs of using existing technologies is minimal, and would include upgrades to existing data storage facilities in Norfolk.
