This project is part of the “Pooling & Sharing” process implemented by the European Union. It aims at pooling and sharing military capabilities among EU Member States in order to reduce costs and optimise the European Defence capabilities efficiency. This means: harmonising the military needs, cooperating in research, training and exercises, and pooling command procedures and structures.
This contract aims at designing and conducting two training sessions dedicated to future trainers coming from European Union member States.
These trainings will teach operations room personnel operational and technical knowledge and maritime law of operational, legal and technical doctrine in order to assist them in the use and analysis of varying sources of maritime information.
“DCI stands proud to work jointly with the European Defence Agency on this training. Thanks to this project, we can demonstrate once again our expertise in the maritime training field and also participate in the search for synergies strengthening the European Security and Defence Policy,” declared Admiral Bruno Nielly, DCI-NAVFCO director.
DCI was created in 1972 to assist military equipment sales to foreign countries. Its main mission consisted in providing operational training courses based on the know-how of the French Armed Forces.
Today, DCI is an intermediate sized service company; the French government is the concurring shareholder. DCI now operates throughout the defence and security spectrum. DCI is culturally close to the Ministry of Defence.
From now on, DCI is offering outsourced services to foreign countries in the following fields:
- Consulting and assistance throughout the life cycle of armament programs
- Training engineering in the academic, operational and technical fields
DCI and its subsidiaries have been partners of the French Armed Forces for 10 years within the scope of service contracts and are endeavouring to extend their activities to European Union countries.
