reportNeutralising CBRNE effect
9.7.7 Current situation within the EU
The following framework 7 projects funded by the European Commission in the security theme are relevant to neutralising CBRNE:
- Simulation of crisis management activity (SICMA) project initiated in 2008, in producing a computer assisted decision making tool for Health Services Managers in response to crisis scenario [174].
- Identifying the needs of medical first responder in disasters (NMFRDISASTER) project coming to an end in 2009 aimed to identify the research needs of medical first responders. This relates to the use of protective equipment used in chemical and biological incidents [175].
The following Preparatory Action for Security Research Funded projects were funded by the European Commission and are relevant to neutralising CBRNE:
- The Crisis simulation project (CRIMSON) aims to research, develop and validate using virtual reality technologies to prepare security and first response organisations for urban crisis management in terrorist attack, CBRN crisis or hostage situation [176].
- Treatment initiatives after radiological accidents (TIARA) project aimed to create a European network of excellence for managing crisis after accidental or malevolent dispersal of radionuclides. The project provides information and guidelines for treatment post radiological exposure [177].
- Bioterrorism resilience, research, reaction-supporting activity promoting co-operation to assess the bio threat and organise a collective and comprehensive response for EU society and citizens bio security (BIO3R) project aims at improving preparedness for bioterrorism. It aimed to identify operational requirements, countermeasures against biological attack (detection and therapeutic) and resilience, ethical and legal issues [69].
