# Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1837 of 12 October 2015 on Union support for the activities of the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) in order to strengthen its monitoring and verification capabilities and in the framework of the implementation of the EU Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Division 1: Background

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The MSIR system, developed by the PTS through funding under Decision 2012/699/CFSP and complemented by a contribution-in-kind for IFE14, has the capacity to acquire spectral information from an airborne platform over the range from the visible to the thermal infrared. The system is an arrangement of sensors on a stabilised base, supporting instruments as well as processing tools to extract OSI-relevant information.
Furthermore, elements of the system including mission planning software, inertial measurement unit, system controller, auxiliary pilot and operator navigation system and video camera have been integrated and tested within the PTS airborne gamma spectrometer system enabling the acquisition of data along predefined flight lines. These elements are also available for other OSI airborne operations, including the initial overflight and the airborne magnetic survey.
