Description

On-Site Inspection (OSI) Build-Up Exercise 2024 (BUE24) was a medium scale exercise focusing on the continuation period of an OSI, conducted in Hungary and involving over 150 participants from 37 States Signatories over three weeks in June-July 2024. Considerable work has been undertaken by the OSI Division and wider Provisional Technical Secretariat to develop OSI capabilities since the last large scale Integrated Field Exercise (IFE) in 2014, held in Jordan. Concepts, policies, and procedures have been updated, together with considerable investments in new software systems, equipment, hardware, and physical infrastructure. Consequently, BUE24 was designed to allow for the integrated testing of OSI's various techniques, equipment and procedures in a topographically varied inspection area, as well as to serve as a partial rehearsal for selected surrogate inspectors in advance of an IFE. This poster shall provide information on the exercise aim, objectives, scope and availability of techniques, scenario development and implementation process, role of the Operations Support Centre and independent evaluation. Furthermore, it shall summarize specific key findings and recommendations that are being addressed in advance of future OSI exercises.
