  1. Air Traffic Control in aCombat Environment

  2. Course Overview • Explain the wartime role of the air traffic controller • Summarize the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) and ATC involvement • Identify Unit Type Code (UTC) associated with Deployed Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (DATCALS) • Transition - Peacetime to Wartime

  3. ATC in Desert Shield /Storm Show Video

  4. Wartime Mission of ATC • Deploy worldwide in support of operational force at host nation or bare base locations. • Provide basic airfield services, combat airspace support to the theater Air Operations Center (AOC).

  5. Basic Airfield Services • Mobile Control Tower (VFR) • TSW-7/MSN-7 • Mobile Radar Approach Control • TPN-19/MPN-14K • Navigational Aid • TRN-41/TRN-26

  6. Pilot Expectations • Warfighter (controller) • well trained • professional • adaptability • ECCM • authentication • chemical warfare

  7. Controller Expectations Aircraft Characteristics

  8. Controller Expectations Austere Mobile ATC Facilities

  9. Controller Expectations Fixed Facility to Mobile Operation

  10. Controller Expectations Fixed Facility to Mobile Operation

  11. Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) Cold War Air Force -- Threat-Based Focused on Containment -- Big wars Large forward presence -- fight-in-place strategy Operating from bases with large infrastructures 21st Century Air Force -- Smaller,Capabilities-Based Focused on Global Engagement -- Full SpectrumShaping Still forward based, but Responding around the world Operating from bare bases with limited infrastructure Force protection remains a high priority Requires an Expeditionary Approach

  12. AEF Schedule Stand-down Spin-Up/ Deploy Prep Normal Training and Exercises Deployment/On Call AEF 1 AEF 2 AEF 3 AEF 4 AEF 5 AEF 6 AEF 7 AEF 8 Rotational Cycle AEF 9 AEF 10

  13. Summary of Advantages • To CINCs • Robust Deployed Forces • Rapid Response On-Call Forces • Tailored Forces to Meet “Shape” and “Respond” Requirements • Full Spectrum of Capabilities • Improved Support to OPLANS • To Airmen • Employs Total Force • More Predictable, Stable Schedule • Improves Support Structure • Benefits Achieved Without Major Structural Change

  14. Deployment Planning • 1C1X1 fall into two categories • Identify to Deploy • Subject to Deploy • Training Requirements • LOAC, SABC, force protection, small arms, and NBCDT training (Identify) • LOAC, SABC, force protection (Subject)

  15. EQUIPMENT & PERSONNEL • Unit Type Code (UTC) • Five character alphanumeric designator uniquely identifying each Armed Forces Unit. 7FVL9

  16. “Parent” UTCs 6KTA1 UTC Active-Duty 6KTA2 UTC Air National Guard “Child” UTCs

  17. 7FVL9 - ATC TOWER UTC 1 Watch Supervisor 3 Air Traffic Controllers

  18. 7FVLC - ATC RADAR UTC 1 Watch Supervisor 2 Air Traffic Controllers

  19. PEACETIME - WARTIME

  20. UTC ACTIVATION UTC Controller M A J C O M U NIT CINC Force Provider

  21. Summary • Explain the wartime role of the air traffic controller • Summarize the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) and ATC involvement • Identify Unit Type Code (UTC) associated with Deployed Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (DATCALS) • Transition - Peacetime to Wartime
