HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP 5th February 2014
Marriott Regents Park, London, UK9.00-12.30pm
The Forward Air Controller – a case studyinto the use of Immersive Simulation toaugment the existing training model
HOSTED BY:
Overview:
The requirement for Forward Air Controllers (FAC) has beendefined over the past 10 years by Operational need and hasbeen specifically theatre focused. The FAC has proven to beone of the most expensive human assets to train and maintain inthe current Force Mix. We now are faced with a move from warfighting to contingent operations in an environment whereresources are scarce and procurement decisions face severescrutiny. How do we change our approach to training, meetingexisting needs whilst also addressing future requirements such asDigitally aided CAS, increased use of Full Motion Video,exploitation of Air Assets and non-permissive theatres ofoperation? How can simulation assist in delivering best of classFACs in an economic, efficient and effective manner to be fullyprepared for tomorrow’s battlefield?
Agenda:
8.30 Registration & Coffee
9.00 Introduction• Scope of the problem and an overview of Ab
initio FAC training• Current focus on Live training and the challenges
and costs associated with simulation systems• Accreditation issues and high overheads
associated with National FAC Schools• Maintenance and development of FAC post
Schoolhouse
09.45 Simulation vs Live Controls• The reluctance to increase use of simulation• Maturity of simulators, fidelity, form fit function kit,
wrap around domes and next generation VRheadsets
• Military / Commercial Pilots established model
10.30 Coffee
10.45 Training for Tomorrow’s Battlefield• Lessons learnt from History • Advancement in surface to air systems,
implementation of DACAS, exploitation of Net-Centric Warfare etc.
• Increased use of AH and UAV into training model.• Developing non-permissive tactics with limited
access to EW ranges and emulators
11.30 Commercial Model • Challenging the existing model and transferring
risk away from Military• Training at the point of need• Consistency of white force• Aircraft Simulator instructor model and the barriers
to this model• Maintaining the expertise and Meeting changing
training needs
12.00 Summary of Workshop - Q and A
12.30 End of Workshop
About the workshop hostTom Ball, Technical Director, Close Air Solutions Ltd After his operational tours as a Tornado GR4 pilot, TomBall was selected to become an instructor at the UK'sJoint Forward Air Controller Training and Standards Unit(JFACTSU) where he trained most of the UKs currentserving FACs, Special Forces and foreign students and
has advised most of the UK's aircrew training establishments onbest practice close air support tactics. During his tenure as ChiefInstructor he was recognised in the Queens Birthday Honours forhis transformative work in Air-Land simulation and as the UK'ssubject matter expert in Air-Land simulation, he transitioned to theFlight Simulation and Synthetic Training (FSaST) team at UKDefence Equipment and Support. Tom left the RAF in 2013 to Co-found Close Air Solutions. His unique combination of first handtactical experience, instructional background, and simulationexpertise, make him a pivotal member of the team.
