EIFOSI/Logistics and Operations Support Section 9. November 2012
The system will be able to give the efficiencies and benefits of having a flexible, mobile, compatible system with precise targeting of support to the point needed. The IISS is designed to be a fusion of information, logistics and operations support
technologies to provide rapid response and to deliver tailored packages and sustainment directly at the required level of operations.
Integrated Inspection Support System (IISS )
Will be capable to provide
OSI verification regime with right
personnel, equipment and all necessary supplies at the right time, in the right place and in the right quantity and quality.
• The Equipment Storage and Maintenance
Facility as ‘combined’ purpose facility that supports training, testing and exercising
together with the original concept of storage, maintenance and calibration has been
occupied by 30 March 2011. All the OSI
related equipment has been concentrated in the facility, functional elements have been set. Installation of specific features and fine tuning is going on continuously.
• The first test and “inauguration” activity was the Advanced Training Course of the Second Training Cycle during the second half of July 2011, since then the Facility is up and running and regularly hosting and supporting Training Courses, TTEs, Expert Meetings, equipment demonstrations and technical visit to the ESMF by delegations from State Signatories
Equipment Storage and Maintenance Facility
With the aim of developing an option for the most efficient way to deploy OSI equipment within the constraints of the CTBT, the activities within this component will specifically find a solution which allows modular accessible storage of equipment in a unit that is easily transportable and can be used at both the Equipment Storage and
Maintenance Facility(ESMF) and at the BOO (i.e. transportable units, designed specifically for equipment types). .
IMRDS – Design Considerations

Given the short time frames stipulated in the Treaty for mobilization of an IT upon receipt of a request for an OSI, standing arrangements are considered as one of the means to facilitate readiness for the launch and conduct of an OSI.
Ongoing contractualarrangements between the CTBTO and external commercial organizations are needed to allow for the timely receipt of services
- Travel agencies , Airfreight shipping agencies which will commit to transporting on short notice, Trucking companies which will commit to transporting OSI equipment from the ESMFto Vienna’s airport or other designated debarkation point;
- To provide Auxiliary equipment for the specific IA; the range of possible items extends from
personal equipment, for arctic, jungle, swamp, desert or mountainous regions, all-terrain vehicles, etc. - Fuel for helicopter or fixed wing overflight aircraft, and possibly even the aircraft itself,if not
provided by the ISP;
- Up to date weather information around the globe to allow timely determination ofappropriate transport of personnel and equipment mentioned above;Emergency medical support that cannot be reliably obtained from the IT’s limitedmedical support personnel or from the ISP;
- Money or other financial arrangements to provide inspectors with whatever dailysubsistence allowance that might be appropriate both at the POE and at the IA.
• In addition to ongoing contractual arrangements with external agencies or companies to provide on short notice services and equipment such as that mentioned above, the Treaty envisages the ISP providing support to the IT. Because the ability of States to provide such support may vary considerably, it would be useful for inspection planning purposes to obtaining advance notice from States about what each would expect to provide. Included would be such things as:
• (a) Availability of vehicles and escorts for the IT and its sub-groups to deploy permitted sensor and sample collectors, as well as perform visual observation;
• (b) ISP intentions regarding its right to provide aircraft for initial and, if approved by the ISP, additional overflights;
• (c) ISP intentions to provide communications equipment for use by the IT;
• (d) ISP intentions to provide maps – e.g. geological, topographical, aviation, cultural and other such information about the IA;
• (e) Accommodations that the ISP would be able to provide;
• (f) Other equipment that the ISP would ask the IT to utilize.
This element is based on an analysis of different factors such as climatic, topographic, cultural and geopolitical issues that have an impact on the requirements for the set-up of the BOO infrastructure.
As an outcome of this activity, one complete BOO should be available that can be operated within every climate conditions.
Accommodation x 2 (shelter system and auxiliary equipment)
Work areas x 1.5 (shelter system and auxiliary equipment)
Sanitation x 2 (showers, toilets, water storage, need wash basins)
Recreation x 1 (shelter system, need more auxiliary equipment)
Decontamination x 1 (Decontamination facility)
Medical x 1 ( Shelter system, bed, sanitation)
Catering x 0.5 ( shelter system, no auxiliary equipment)
Climate control x 1 (full heating system, cooling for moderate climate )
Power systems x 1.5 (generators and distribution systems)
Equipment storage x 0.5 (weatherproof containers, need shelter system)
Laboratory x 1 (not suitable for IMRDS, but usable)
• Functional elements of BoO have been tested
• Entire BoO have been set up and tested for different layouts at BoO
Base of Operations
IFE08, BOO
The objective of the HS programme is to ensure as much as practicable the health and safety of IT
members during an OSI by adopting a mode of operation that is based on the comprehensive assessment and management of risk. It should provide adequate mechanisms to eliminate hazards, to reduce the severity of an undesired consequence that may result from exposure of a subject to a hazard, and/or to reduce the likelihood of an undesired consequence.
• As it has been envisaged during the Expert Meeting on Health and Safety and Radiation Safety , the OSI health and safety support concept has been further developed by 2011.
• Besides the revision of the existing concept, efforts will focus in particular on improving and optimizing means related to radiation protection and individual protection of the IT members.
• Has been concluded the revision and necessary re-drafting of Radiation Protection standard; Aviation Safety standard ; Physical and Mental Fitness standard; IT Leadership Guide on Health and Safety, Radiation Protection SOP. Finalization of Electrical Safety SOP; Emergency Preparedness and Response; General Safety SOP has been also completed.
• Besides the revision of the existing concept, further efforts will focus in particular on training, exercise of health and safety regime,
• Improving and optimizing means related to radiation protection and individual protection of the IT members,
• Improve and optimizing means related to medical safety of
trainees, exercise participants
Health and Safety
The main objectives of OSI OSC will be to support the
inspection team upon its requestas well as to support
logistically the OSI operation, once it is launched.
It will assist theDirector General in fulfilling his responsibilities, including the preparation of all neededmaterials for the
Executive Council deliberations and decisions.
Main functions of the OSC during OSI:
Reception and processing of OSI requests from Requesting
States Parties (RSP),and if necessary, support the DG in
assisting the RSP to properly file the request.
Operation as a main point of contact (POC), during the OSI
operation between the TS, the Inspected State Party (ISP) and,
of course, with the inspection team (IT).
Support the conduct of OSI operations in a cost-effective
manner by carrying out the preparations for the conduct of OSI
(such as visas arrangements, shipment of equipment and
support the IT in the planning of the initial inspection). Then,
coordination of the required logistic support and all other
support, including continuous data flow (i.e. new data
acquired from agreed sources, required IDC analysis).
Maintaining constant connection with the IT via secured
communication.
Co-ordination (with the IT) of administrative and logistic
activities in the field. These may include rotation of personnel,
shipment of equipment, providing medical support, arranging
transportation, etc.
Secure the confidentiality of the OSI process
Provide a point of contact and communication means for the DG
with the IT during OSI.
Preparation for the DG of all required documents, forms,
reports, etc., for presentation to the Executive
Council (EC), including legal and other input from PTS
divisions as appropriate.
This leg of the infrastructure’stool can be thought of as having three components: a
number of databases; specialized and general purpose software for processing those data and helping the CTBTO develop inputs to the IT’s initial inspection plan; and appropriate
contractual arrangements with commercial enterprises and international organizations, and Standing Arrangements with States Parties. We are using the term “databank” to refer to a collection of a variety of relevant databases, together with the software for processing those data.
2.8. DATABANK
Budget and Finance Database, Countries and Contacts Database, Document Management and Document Archive Database, Geographic Information System, Inspectors Database, Legal Database, Point of Entry Database, Shipment and Logistics Database, Travel Database, Equipment Storage Maintenance Database (EMS), Health, Safety and Security Database, Library Database, Weather and Climate Database etc.
Posture concerns itself with advanced preparations and readiness.
Our posture as an organisation should be such that we are capable of planning, launching and implementing an OSI even in what might be termed, ‘the worst case scenario.’ This might mean that we can immediately respond to an OSI request even over a busy holiday period where many staff are away and international flights might be fully booked.
The culture of the organisation needs to be such that it can create the correct posture.
Without this predilection towards being in a position of advanced preparation and readiness, there will be unnecessary friction between those trying to meet treaty obligations and those applying what will be perceived as inappropriate hindrances. As such, the IISS is not just about the LSS being capable of supporting the formulation and implementation of a
logistic plan for the launch, conduct and recovery of an OSI, but also about how all staff branches work together in a synergistic manner to coordinate such planning.
Staff Duties primarily concern itself with project management in an operational (controlled environment).
As such, Staff Duties is about directing, managing and delivering operations in a fast moving, dynamic, fluid and ever changing and often hostile environment, usually, but not always, in the field and almost certainly in pressurised circumstances.
