JAPCC Support to the Defensive Counter Air/Quick Reaction Alert Training Module

Pardubice, 27 February – 3 March 2017. The new DCA/QRA (Defensive Counter Air/Quick Reaction Alert) Training Module (Tactical Simulation) for tactical pilots and GCI (Ground Radar Controller of Interceptors) has been successfully accomplished in term 27 FEB – 3 MAR 2017 at Tactical Simulation Center (TSC), Pardubice, Czech Republic. This training was organized and developed by the Multinational Aviation Training Centre (MATC). The training week “Training for Training Leaders“ was focused on QRA procedures and overall DCA training. It included pilots and GCI operators from Czech republic, Croatia, Hungary and Slovakia, supported by a JAPCC SME. Pilots and GCI personnel had an opportunity to train in mixed crews, as interoperability was one of the course’s main objectives. Following training, also under MATC coordination, will take place in November 2017.
