With more than 2500 flight hours, the Black Cats Task Group on June 17 shut down the first stay in Kuwait where, a year ago, four AMXs were deployed on the Al-Jaber military base in Kuwait to take part in the operation "Prima Parthica" within the international mission "Inherent Resolve" (OIR).
Framed under the Air Kuwait Task Force and engaged in fighting the Daesh forces, the four AM-X aircraft operate in synergy with the other coalition assets and are equipped with a state-of-the-art reconnaissance system. Thanks to the RecceLite Reconnaissance POD, equipped with high-performance electro-optical and infrared digital sensors, the aircraft carry out tactical reconnaissance missions on land, medium and high altitude targets both day and night, above the territories Iraqi. The aircraft are thus able to control and identify the points where the Daesh activity takes place with a wide range of objectives of particular interest, such as, for example, road checkpoints, armament deposits and ammunition used by ISIS fighters.
The products are then transmitted and analyzed by an inter-force cell, tested on Al Salem, which has the task of satisfying, on an ongoing basis, the requirements relating to the collection, analysis, integration and dissemination of information. All the processed products are shared with the multinational information agencies and reported in photo-interpretation reports for subsequent forwarding to the high-level Commands of the Coalition.
Established on 17 October 2014, as part of the national operation "Prima Parthica" and multinational "Inherent Resolve", the ITNCC / TFA Kuwait guarantees the uniqueness of command and the synergistic and coordinated use of KC 767A flight arrangements , Predator and AMX. The mission is to meet the needs of in-flight refueling of the coalition's assets with the KC 767A; at the same time, TFA Kuwait is entrusted with the task of contributing to the definition of the coalition Situation Awareness through the use of AMX and Predator. These produce high quality images that are then enhanced by the Intelligence Integrated Multisensor Exploitation Cell (I2MEC) and provided to the coalition in the form of analysis.
