DCI,
in consortium with SCS - a British company specialised in defence and
security counselling - has just won the “Naval Training Support
Study” (NTSS) call for bids which had been launched by the European
Defence Agency (EDA). This contract is about conducting a study on the
training fields regarding navigation, mine warfare and diving. |
The NTSS
project is part of the “Pooling & Sharing” process put
into place by the European Union. It is aiming at sharing and pooling
military capacities of the member states in order to reduce costs and
optimise the efficiency of European Defence capabilities. This means:
harmonising the military needs, working in close cooperation for research,
training courses and exercises, and sharing the same procedures and
command structures.
This one-year project’s objective is to conduct a study for each
concerned field and to:
provide landscape of existing capabilities;
propose possible common requirements;
derive shortfalls based on the gap analysis;
and propose recommendations to solve them
“DCI is proud to work jointly with the European Defence Agency
on this study” announced Admiral Bruno NIELLY, Executive Vice-President
of DCI-NAVFCO. “Thanks to this project, we are able to prove once
again that we are experts in the naval training field. We can also be
part of the search for synergies which are strengthening the European
Security and Defence Policy.” |
