Division 4.3 Feasibility Study

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Objective: assess the feasibility and options for developing an AAMVS through the development of appropriate methodologies and tools for risk and quality assessment The feasibility study will be guided by the following seven questions that relate to the establishment of an AAMVS:

  • Is the system technically and operationally feasible?

  • Is the system legally feasible?

  • Is the system economically/commercially feasible?

  • Is the system politically feasible?

  • Is the system feasible in terms of military security?

  • Is the system feasible in terms of safety and security to the community?

  • Is the system feasible within a reasonable period of time?

Activities: specific activities to be carried out under this output and implemented during the first twelve months of the project include:

  1. 1..

    Expert Workshops (Year 1, Month 5 to 11): three workshops will be held, bringing together the up-to ten members of the Expert Working Group (EWG) to discuss and develop the feasibility study. The first two workshops will be held virtually, while the third workshop will be a two-day event in Geneva. The first workshop will be devoted to reviewing the findings of the preliminary report and defining the outline of the feasibility study. The second workshop will be devoted to exploring the technical and operational aspects of setting up an AAMVS. The first day of the third workshop will focus on the legal and economic aspects of such as system, as well as the timeline for the system, while the second day of the third workshop will take stock of the feasibility study as a whole. The workshops will be designed and implemented taking gender and diversity into account.

  2. 2..

    Expert Workshop Reports (Year 1, Month 5 to 11): following each workshop, a workshop report will be drafted and shared with the participants of the EWG and EEAS. The reports will summarise the main discussion, highlighting points of convergence and divergence.

  3. 3..

    Feasibility Report (Year 1, Month 11 to 12): a report outlining the options for developing an AAMVS, through the development of appropriate methodologies and tools for assessing risk and quality.

Results: expert workshops and reports, and feasibility report outlining options for an international validation/certification system for arms and ammunition stockpile management.
