Iniciativa Permanentní strukturovaná spolupráce (PESCO) je nástroj Evropské unie (EU) zakotvený v Lisabonské smlouvě z roku 2007, který umožňuje vznik mezinárodních projektových týmů zaměřených na konkrétní téma a vytvořených s cílem posílit schopnosti armád členských zemí EU a podpořit tak Společnou bezpečnostní a obrannou politiku. Oblast bojových chemických látek, biologických agens, jaderných zbraní a zdrojů ionizujícího záření (CBRN) je jednou z možných oblastí řešených projekty PESCO. Tato práce je zaměřena na posouzení iniciativy PESCO ve vztahu k budoucím projektům zaměřeným na oblast CBRN a následné uplatnitelnosti výsledků ve vojenské praxi.

The initiative of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) is a tool of European Union (EU) embedded in the Treaty of Lisbon of the year 2007 that allows founding an international project team focused on a specific task and aimed to improve armies of EU members to support the Common Security and Defence Policy. The area of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials (CBRN) is one of the promising and possible focuses where a PESCO project can be placed. This work is focused on the evaluation of the initiative PESCO in the relation to the area of CBRN and application of results from the projects to the current military praxis.

Keywords: Biological weapon; detection; decontamination; European Union; chemical weapon; nuclear weapon; common security; NBC; weapons of mass destruction; medical protection
