NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency

The NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency is the prime customer and management body for the four-nation Eurofighter Typhoon Weapon System programme. Its offices are located on the outskirts of Munich, Germany and it is staffed by civilian and military secondees from the participating nations – UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. Since early February 2008 the General Manager has been Lt. Gen. Antonino Altorio of the Italian Air Force.

This NATO agency replaces two former organisations – the NATO Multirole Combat Aircraft Development and Production Management Agency (NAMMA) and the NATO EFA Development Production and Logistics Management Agency (NEFMA). It is responsible for the joint development and production of both the Typhoon and the NATO Multi-Role Combat Aircraft, namely the Panavia Tornado.
