Support Group 2015 – DECA (Defence Electronics and Components Agency) Other organisations associated with the station have included the Army Base Repair Organisation (ABRO), the Defence Communication Services Agency (DCSA), and Defence Equipment & Support. Current use The Defence Electronics and Components Agency (DECA) occupies part of the original Sealand site since the closure of the RAF station in 2006. DECA provides maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade of defence platform electronics and operates as part of a Trading Agency of the Ministry of Defence. The MOD has contemplated using the site for several purposes, one of the most controversial of which was the idea to turn RAF Sealand into an emergency prison to cope with overcrowded prisons in England and Wales. Sealand's ranges are still used for shooting, where units from the services and civilian target shooting clubs come to compete or practice shooting. From early 2018 MOD Sealand will be an F-35 Global repair hub. This involves multimillion-pound investment in the site. Northern Gateway Permission was given in 2012 for a 5,000 job employment site, along with 1,000 homes. In 2015, the Welsh government agreed to fund a link road to the community so that building could start. In popular culture The RAF base lent its name to the 1981 song "Sealand" by Wirral band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
