CBRN DEFENCE TRAINING RANGE (CBRNDTR)

The project is designed to provide CBRND individual and collective training at EU level, both in simulated and live conditions, in order to increase the interoperability between EU Member States, by conducting training activities and tactical exercises as countermeasures to the current and persistent CBRN threats. Its implementation will support the specific needs for military training and evaluation of CBRND personnel assigned to EU BGs or participating in CSDP missions and operations. Additionally, the European CBRND industry will be invited to use the existing facilities, in order to test new CBRND equipment and technologies.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is designed to provide CBRND individual and collective training at EU level, both in simulated and live conditions, in order to increase the interoperability between EU Member States, by conducting training activities and tactical exercises as countermeasures to the current and persistent CBRN threats. Its implementation will support the specific needs for military training and evaluation of CBRND personnel assigned to EU BGs or participating in CSDP missions and operations. Furthermore, the project will provide benefits in areas of CBRND training standardization, efficiency and cost effectiveness, as well as to European industry by allowing its specialized CBRND manufacturing companies to test and evaluate new equipment and technologies.

OBJECTIVES/PRODUCTS

On short term, the project will focus on a large-scale modernization of the training range infrastructure in order to improve and extend the current staging and training conditions. On long term, the CBRND TR will host, on request, specific individual and collective training for pMS or multinational exercises based on CBRND scenarios.
