Training and Force Generation today, and to demonstrate how
our Air Combat Training Services offer an effective solution.


Outline

 Challenges
 Benefits
 Services Available
 Company Overview
 Summary


Contemporary Challenges

• Front line fighter readiness
• Increased JTAC training requirements
• Pilot Shortage & the need to grow
• Reduced training budgets & force downsizing
• Limited Adversary Support


Fighter Readiness
• Low readiness levels (Especially 5th Gen Fighters)

• Looks bad to superiors, politicians and taxpayers. Threatens
continued fighter funding.

• Training requirements increasing with improved fighter
capabilities: Need Multi-adversary presentations + emitters

• Limited Adversary assets to train against
• 5th Gen adversaries very expensive
• 4th Gen adversaries scarce & causes morale issues
• Alternative solutions offer limited capacity / capability


Increased JTAC Training req’t
• Driven by real-world ops & experience in Iraq /
Afghanistan

• Providing JTACs at platoon level has the effect of tripling
the number required

• Initial qualifications and currency training requirements

• Contemporary Capabilities a must: DCAS; EOIR w ROVER;
Night CAS w NVGs; Wpns / Inert Wpns drop.

• Close Air Support assets increasingly limited by budgets
and unit training requirements


Pilot Shortage

• Driven by Op-tempo and other factors

• Training system limited by ageing training aircraft and the
need for qualified IPs elsewhere

• Fighter force rationalization has generated a shortage of
cockpits to keep winged pilots current

• Impacts ability to man front line units & train students.

• Vicious downward spiral…

be reallocated to higher priority taskings / operations.

• Front line fighter structural fatigue reserved for high quality training
or real-world operations.

aircraft as “training aids”.
