JCBRN Defence COE

Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence Centre of Excellence

 

JCBRN Defence COE is the centre of gravity for CBRN defence-related expertise, experience and transformation within the Alliance without duplicating or competing with already existing NATO capabilities. 

The Centre combines skills and expertise of more than 70 personnel from fourteen nations, creating a hub of CBRN defence knowledge. We focus on concept development, doctrine and standardization, lessons learned, capabilities development, and defence planning. The Centre conducts experiments and supports the NATO Joint CBRN Defence Capability Development Group and its panels. Important part of our work is also the area of modelling & simulation and operations support. We serve as the Department Head for NATO’s WMD/CBRN defence training and education discipline and offer a wide portfolio of certified courses. We also act as the EU Military Training Discipline Leader for WMD CBRND. The Centre forms the core of the NATO CBRN reachback capability providing timely, coordinated, authoritative and detailed technical and scientific support to SHAPE. In addition, the Centre is expanding outreach efforts beyond a purely military focus to civil-military, EU, other international organizations, academia and industry.
