Welcome to NATO Missile Firing Installation (NAMFI)

NATO Missile Firing Installation has a long history of training NATO troops on Air defense operations, land, naval and aircraft firings, evaluating their capabilities to counter existing threats and providing NATO with fully operational units.

In 1964 eight Allied Nations signed a Multinational Agreement on the use of NAMFI, setting the framework of its longstanding capability in providing training and evaluation. Nowadays three nations, GREECE-GERMANY and THE NETHERLANDS are the, so called, User Nations who are funding NAMFI’s operation, while Greece, as the Host Nation and through The Hellenic National Defense General Staff, is manning and operating NAMFI.

Our Skills & Experience

NAMFI provides high quality training opportunities along with efficient support and exploits, furthermore, the advantages originating from its unique capabilities such as the Conduct of ATBM Firings, the Tactical Firing Evaluation Section which is independent, reports directly to SHAPE for tactical firing issues and is manned by NAMFI’s User Nations’ personnel and the modern accommodation and welfare facilities. All this, along with NAMFI’s favorable location and weather conditions, almost all year around, guarantee that NAMFI will be in the limelight for the years to come.
