Application

This unit describes the skills required to supervise and control all aspects of the operation of a direct fire ground based missile system designed to destroy hostile aircraft. It is specifically written for visual range ground based air defence weapon systems. 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 applies to combat arms personnel involved in the operation of a direct fire ground based missile system in a deployed operational environment.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work under the commander’s direction, however they must be able to act independently. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform specific tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
