Description
The On-Site Inspection (OSI) Exercise Programme for 2022-2025 is envisaged to culminate with the conduct of an Integrated Field Exercise (IFE): the largest and most complex multinational exercises in the field of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear non-proliferation and arms control. The primary aim is to test and demonstrate the capability of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty on-site inspection element of the verification regime to clarify whether a nuclear test or explosion has been carried out in violation of the Treaty. An IFE provides an unrivalled platform to test various operational, procedural and technical elements of an OSI in an integrated manner. This IFE shall be designed to demonstrate both maintenance of specific existing OSI capabilities and also newly developed or updated elements, and will allow for the review of policy, operational, operations support, logistical and technical capabilities from a holistic, cross-cutting perspective. The next IFE is expected to involve up to 200 participants, over a period of six to seven weeks, and an inspection area approaching the Treaty-permitted 1000km2. This poster shall provide information on the exercise design, schedule, scope, location, expected challenges, as well as the general status of the planning and preparation process.
