EMSST
Higher military scientific and technical education

Presentation
The Higher Military Scientific and Technical Education (EMSST) is a military training organization for officers of the French Army with a view to mastering all the technical and operational skills required for the design, preparation and commitment of forces. Requiring a high level of academic knowledge, these officers are then called upon to occupy positions of responsibility within Defence.
The EMSST is therefore quite naturally a place of exchange and openness. It thus constitutes the privileged vector of the outreach system conducted by the Command Doctrine and Education Centre (CDEC) towards higher education and university establishments.

The EMSST Weapons Course
Carried out in close collaboration with the STAT, the EMSST armament course is aimed at commissioned and graduate officers, oriented towards professions in the SAR (armament) and MAI (maintenance) fields. Called to be the future actors of armament operations, their training meets two pedagogical objectives:
- knowledge and understanding of the conduct and conduct of armament operations, the role of the various players and ministerial instruction 125/1516 ;
- knowledge of the industrial partners, their organisation and their constraints.
Contributions
The EMSST, a key player in the training delivered to the officers of the armament course, has developed the "Atlas of armament industries" which was launched in 2011. On the strength of its experience and the richness of the exchanges conducted with its privileged interlocutors, namely professors, arms manufacturers and all the associated actors, the EMSST has produced a new version: "le Bouclier de Minerve" (the Minerva Shield).
The Minerva Shield is above all a teaching tool for the benefit of the trainees of the EMSST armament course. In addition to the knowledge base essential to their future profession, it will be enriched in a collaborative manner, year after year, by the creation of new sheets and the updating of data.
