The NATO Eurofighter 2000 and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA) serves as the principal customer and overseeing organization for two European collaborative fighter aircraft initiatives: the Eurofighter Typhoon and Panavia Tornado programmes. Located in Hallbergmoos, Germany, its workforce comprises both civilian personnel and military secondees representing the member nations—namely the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

History

Formed in 1996, NETMA succeeded two former entities: the NATO Multirole Combat Aircraft Development and Production Management Agency (NAMMA) and the NATO EFA Development Production and Logistics Management Agency (NEFMA).

Miguel Ángel Martín Pérez assumed the role of General Manager in mid-2020. Among previous directors were Air Vice-Marshal Graham Farnell from the British Royal Air Force and Lt. General Gabriele Salvestroni of the Italian Air Force.

In 2023, Simon Ellard, CB FREng, transitioned from the RAF to take up the position of General Manager at NETMA.
