"DECOTESSC1 proposes a DEmonstration of COunterTErrorism System-of-Systems against CBRNE phase 1. A thorough understanding of the system-of-systems’ structure will be developed, the requirements for an ideal system will be proposed as well as a description of the current state-of-the art. A gap analysis will reveal the differences between the current situation and the ideal situation. The gaps thus obtained will be ranked. Also, in order to fill the gaps a strategic roadmap will be developed to guide the improvement cycle by proposing, technological and organizational topics to be addressed and implemented in a future phase 2 of the demonstration project CBRNE counterterrorism. This all will be primarily done by a Core Group of partners. In addition, to achieve all this, the DECOTESSC1 project will, on top of the efforts of the Core Group, consider the needs of the various stakeholders (government representatives, local authorities, users with different think-tanks, universities, RTO’s and industry (including SME’s)) by direct interaction. This will be achieved by involving the stakeholders, collected into an Expert Group, continuously by organizing workshops at relevant moments during the work of DECOTESSC1, by organizing a mid-term stakeholders meeting and well as a final symposium. Interviews with individual stakeholders will also be a mechanism for interaction. All interactions above will not only provide input for DECOTESSC1’s work but also provide dissemination of its findings throughout the EU community and raise awareness for this very important subject area in the mean time."
