4. HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
5th February 2014
Marriott Regents Park, London, UK
9.00-12.30pm
The Forward Air Controller – a case study
into the use of Immersive Simulation to
augment the existing training model
HOSTED BY:
Overview:
The requirement for Forward Air Controllers (FAC) has been
defined over the past 10 years by Operational need and has
been specifically theatre focused. The FAC has proven to be
one of the most expensive human assets to train and maintain in
the current Force Mix. We now are faced with a move from war
fighting to contingent operations in an environment where
resources are scarce and procurement decisions face severe
scrutiny. How do we change our approach to training, meeting
existing needs whilst also addressing future requirements such as
Digitally aided CAS, increased use of Full Motion Video,
exploitation of Air Assets and non-permissive theatres of
operation? How can simulation assist in delivering best of class
FACs in an economic, efficient and effective manner to be fully
prepared 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 VR
headsets
• 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 host
Tom Ball, Technical Director, Close Air Solutions Ltd
After his operational tours as a Tornado GR4 pilot, Tom
Ball was selected to become an instructor at the UK's
Joint Forward Air Controller Training and Standards Unit
(JFACTSU) where he trained most of the UKs current
serving FACs, Special Forces and foreign students and
has advised most of the UK's aircrew training establishments on
best practice close air support tactics. During his tenure as Chief
Instructor he was recognised in the Queens Birthday Honours for
his transformative work in Air-Land simulation and as the UK's
subject matter expert in Air-Land simulation, he transitioned to the
Flight Simulation and Synthetic Training (FSaST) team at UK
Defence Equipment and Support. Tom left the RAF in 2013 to Co-
found Close Air Solutions. His unique combination of first hand
tactical experience, instructional background, and simulation
expertise, make him a pivotal member of the team.
