Date: (02-08-2024)
The Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence (CMDR COE) has completed the COBRA training course held at its premises from July 29 to August 2, 2024. Delivered by Dynamis company representative Tom Bull, the course provided comprehensive training to the CMDR COE staff, equipping them with advanced skills in crisis management and disaster response.
The COBRA training course offered a full-scale educational program that included modules on system introduction, monitoring tools, operational picture utilization, comprehensive emergency management, customization, technical setup, and practical exercises implemented through a Table-top exercise. The training aimed to enhance the participants' understanding and capability in managing crises at tactical, command, and strategic levels, using new technology.
"We are pleased to have hosted the Cobra training course at our facility," said Colonel Orlin Nikolov, Director of CMDR COE. "The training provided by Dynamis has significantly strengthened our team's ability to effectively manage crises and disasters, ensuring preparedness and resilience across all levels of command, using COBRA."
The Cobra software is a state-of-the-art command, communication and collaboration tool that will enable CMDR COE to effectively manage crises by integrating threat, venue, and event monitoring capabilities. This technology enhances the Centre's ability to maintain unity of effort in command, communications, collaboration, decision support, and emergency management, covering all phases from response to recovery.
With the implementation of the COBRA software, CMDR COE is now better equipped to handle any crisis with increased efficiency and coordination. The software's advanced features provide the Centre with the opportunity to improve its preparedness and resilience, ensuring a rapid and effective response to any emergency.
Tom Bull, representative of Dynamis, expressed his satisfaction with the successful completion of the training course. "The CMDR COE team demonstrated exceptional dedication and enthusiasm throughout the training. We are confident that the Cobra software will greatly enhance their capabilities in crisis management and disaster response."
The CMDR COE remains committed to advancing its crisis management and disaster response capabilities and will continue to explore innovative solutions to ensure the highest level of preparedness and resilience.
