"NATO Accreditation", a new milestone for the SAC

09/12/14

After three days, the evaluation phase was successfully completed by a team of certifiers from Allied Air Command (AIRCOM) of Ramstein (Germany) who tested the capabilities of the simulation system used in the national program training for Forward Air Controllers (FAC) and the skills of the team of experts in the field of Aero Co-operation (SAC).

During the tests, the NATO team examined and tested the capabilities and potentials expressed by the School simulator, in terms of realism, immersion, quality of the scenarios, integration with human resources and technical fidelity, in accordance with the requirements of the NATO legislation of reference.

The evaluators appreciated the complex planning and conduct capabilities of Close Air Support virtual missions that also include the use of real systems and equipment necessary for targeting, marking and targeting.

Today's "certified" ability to implement complex virtual scenarios ultimately results in a significant reduction in costs associated with FAC training.

The Aerocooperation School is the military inter-agency of specialized training and technical-operative value in the field of the interpretation of remote sensing images (aerial and satellite) and in that of aeroterrestre and aeronavale cooperation. The courses held at the Aerocooperation School are open not only to the military personnel of the armed forces, but also to personnel from outside the Defense administration and to NATO military personnel and countries participating in the international Partnership for Peace program (PfP - Partnership for Peace).
