The European Union develops capabilities to increase readiness and to contribute to effective crisis management and disaster prevention when needed. It can involve military and non-military measures to address the full spectrum of crises – before, during and after conflicts or disasters. The aim of the project is to develop a technical platform capable of supporting and conducting crisis management, decision making support, disaster response exercises, operational options/alternatives and consequence assessment as well as situational awareness analysis in order to enhance decision-making processes.
This could be established by linking several federated crisis management and disaster response models, simulations and C2-tools thereby establishing a unique decision support environment for the European Union. In addition, a significant advantage of this concept would be the facilitation of CIMIC operations during natural disasters, as – thus far – military environments with strengths in modelling, simulation and security and civilian systems with better real time interfaces, sensor integrations and flexible working environments typically function as separate environments.
