The Defence Electronics and Components Agency (DECA) has confirmed that it remains operational during the COVID-19 emergency.

DECA will remain operational in line with Government guidance throughout the COVID-19 emergency to deliver key Defence and National Security outputs, support overseas operations (where possible), and MOD contingency plans held at readiness to provide Military Assistance to the Civil Authorities.

In its announcement, DECA said its Business Continuity planning is based on the Agency’s ability to support those tasks which are critical to Defence and National Security interests in these challenging times, with DECA seeking urgent assistance from its customers to determine which of their products fall into these categories.

DECA are currently in the process of contacting its customers to establish which tasks are critical to allow them to plan and resource accordingly while, at the same time, complying with Government advice on home working for those non-critical activities or where people can operate remotely.

DECA’s statement said that as the on-going situation continues to develop, critical tasks will emerge and priorities will change and customers will be updated to reflect this.
