The European Defence Agency (EDA) has launched a technical course specifically created to train military staff on the setting up and technical management of a new joint deployable capability (JDC) which will be delivered to the permanent technical exploitation training facility based in Soesterberg.
The course is part of the EDA’s Joint Deployable Exploitation and Analysis Laboratory (JDEAL) project launched in 2013 to support the fight against Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and will be delivered by the end of May.
The new JDC will be the second deployable capability developed and delivered within EDA’s JDEAL project. The course is being hosted by the Spanish company Indra Sistemas at its facilities in San Fernando de Henares in Madrid. Trainees from the 13 EDA Member States participating in JDEAL will be instructed to handle the specific electronics items and tools, and to acquire the required skills to manage and operate the complex deployable laboratory.
This scalable and rapidly deployable capability will enable the participating Member States to deploy exactly the equipment that is required in a given situation, from a full laboratory deployment with all essential equipment to limited interventions with specific material only.
Once the course is completed, the laboratory will be packed up and moved to Soesterberg where the delivery is expected by the end of May. After a final review and approval in Soesterberg, this second deployable capability will be considered to have reached Full Operational Capability.
