First release. Replaces is and equivalent to DEFCA211B. Supervise the destruction of hostile air targets using line of sight ground based air defence weapon systems. |
Unit Descriptor
This unit covers the competency required to supervise and control all aspects of the operation of a direct fire ground based missile system designed to destroy hostile aircraft.
The control of the ground based missile system requires target interrogation, analysis, engagement and decision-making based on tactical information, situational awareness and observed target activity.
This unit of competency is written for visual range ground based air defence weapon systems, which does not include small arms.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
Application of the Unit
This competency was developed for combat arms personnel required to supervise and control all aspects of the operation of a direct fire ground based missile system designed to destroy hostile aircraft in a deployed operational environment but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
While this work will be undertaken under the commander’s direction the individual must be able to act independently as required by the circumstances, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.
All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
Licensing/Regulatory Information

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessment must confirm the ability to recognise own level of authority; to correctly identify a number of different types of aerial targets as determined by the Combat Arms Training Centre; to prioritise targets in a high intensity situation encountered in a threat environment; to direct fire in a clear and concise manner, and to take appropriate action in the event of misfire and cancel missile in-flight; and to supervise the deployment and maintenance of ground based air defence systems. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations. |
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in a simulated operational environment due to the high cost of ammunition. Specific resources for assessment Access to a hi-fidelity simulator that accurately simulates the threat environment. |
