At the Guidonia Aerocooperation School (RM), 18 Air Force soldiers attended the 21 ° RSO course (Remote Sensing Operator). The purpose of the course is to provide the knowledge bases and essential information for the recognition, treatment and management of remotely sensed images, with particular reference to digital images coming from different types of optical, electro-optical and radar sensors.
This initial professionalism is preparatory to higher level courses - in the field of remote sensing - to acquire the qualifications of "Interpreter" and "Military analyst of remote sensing images". In this framework, part of the users of this session, finally, will continue, always at the Aerocooperation School, the professional training program in the sector, with the RSI and RSMA courses (Remote Sensing Interpreter e Remote Sensing Military Analyst - data extraction from remote sensing images, through the implementation of image processing and photo-interpretation analysis processes).
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. For the training and qualification of the Forward Air Controllers, the school commander is the "National Certification Authority".
The courses of the Aerocooperation School are open not only to the military personnel of the Armed Forces, but also to personnel external to the Defense Administration and to the military personnel of NATO and the countries participating in the international Partnership for Peace program (PfP - Partnership for Peace), subject to authorization by the Defense Staff. The training / training procedures for Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Interpretation (SAR-II), Initial/Advanced Remote Sensing (IRS / ARS) e Forward Air Controllers (FAC) have obtained NATO certification and are published in the course catalog (ETOC) of theAllied Command for Transformation from Norfolk (USA).
