Evaluation of the NATO Disease Surveillance System in Kosovo in 2010

The 2010 NATO DSS experiment was the second deployment of the French ‘Alerte et Surveillance en Temps Re´el’ (ASTER) system within a multinational armed task force in real operational conditions. This experiment was scheduled within the ASTER evaluation program, as constructed by French and NATO Armed Forces after several previous works.

Objective

The new NATO Disease Surveillance System (DSS) was deployed for the second time in Kosovo within the multinational armed forces in 2010 for a 3 days experiment. The objective of the survey was to continue the development of real-time disease surveillance capability for NATO forces, in parallel with the implementation of the NATO Deployment Health Surveillance Centre in Munich in 2010.
