CBRNe Innovation

The last 20 years have demonstrated that both military and civilian actors could be exposed to highly hazardous CBRNe agents following conflicts, natural outbreaks/disasters, industrial incidents, and terrorist attacks. Protection against such threats is therefore crucial to the preservation and encouragement of peace and security worldwide, guaranteeing increased safety to the personnel engaged in dealing with and responding to such threats.

By designing and implementing projects promoting innovative CBRNe equipment, tools, and approaches, SAFE actively supports innovation and selects innovative Systems for timely, efficient, comfortable, and effective protection against emerging threats. As such, SAFE activities include the selection, purchase, and delivery of CBRNe equipment in Europe and the Middle East, ensuring a sound management of international procedures including the Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 about Dual-use trade controls as consolidated in 2017).

To remark its commitment towards leading and delivering training activities for CBRNe operators and military personnel, SAFE is investing concrete resources to integrate classic training curricula (based on both EU and NATO standards) with modern technological solutions (such as Virtual Reality) for a variety of purposes.

These include, but are not limited to:

– Achieve greater engagement in the Target Audience
– Achieve increased learning and retention outcomes
– Enable the quick and cost-efficient upgrade of training programs and tools, keeping up with emerging threats and operational procedures paramount in a fast-changing environment like the CBRNe one.
