NATO Flight Training Europe (NFTE). Opportunities abound here. Historically Allies have been continually challenged by the ebb and flow of pilot training. In particular Advanced Fast Jet Training pre type conversion. When I joined the RAF in ‘92, it was the same deal, well over 200 young pilots found ourselves ‘stuck’ in an extended ‘hold’ increasing the multi-million per pilot 3yr training period out to 5-7 years. This generational backlog had significant long term consequences for all those careers. But, far more important were the negative impacts on delivery of Air Power, subsequent retention issues, and now for some Allies, even pilot recruitment is becoming an issue. I have witnessed at least 3 such downturns in as many decades, under both in house military and civilianised flight training systems. NATO Flight Training Europe aims to work collaboratively amoung allies to address these challenges head on through innovative approaches across all aircrew training for crewed and uncrewed platforms. This endeavour will be utterly reliant on Industry engagement from the outset through the body of NIIFTE, promoting an open transparent and healthy market place to match Allied demand to industrial capacity. It will not be easy, but we have best in class leaning in on this.

If OS rumours are anything to go by, the Egyptian Military possibly purchasing China's J-20s, J-31 Falcons, J-10Cs etc, then might explain production ramping up of other variants vis WS-15/J-20A or WS-10C/J-20 ditto. Also ties in with expanding China-funded vocational training centres popping up across that region. Wonder if latter premising HR feeder for China's Djibouti and potential future bases in Africa?

Want an insight in to NATO's joint pilot training programme in Texas? That’s where the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT) school has been training pilots since the early 80s. Not only a cost-saving measure, it gives Allies the chance to pool resources including instructors in the task of training new pilots, this is a place for students and instructors to pass on tactics and form multinational relationships that will span their careers. Allies contributing to this training are Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States. https://lnkd.in/dkbRhUtR Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) JFC Norfolk (NATO) NATO NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) @

It was both a pleasure and a valuable experience to share the robust capabilities of CLOS with the RAF team. #logistics #clos #aice #militarylogistics #optimization #commandandcontrol #supplychain

One of the most successful EU military operations funded by the #EPF is EUTM Mozambique 🇲🇿, established in 2021. It is maybe the most iconic paradigm in Africa of the "train and equip" model that the #EPF made possible after its establishment in 2021. The High Representative is so proud of us: A military mission funded by the EPF for the training of the Armed Forces of an important partner, in conjunction with an assistance measure under the EPF for the provision of the equipment that is necessary for the training. The two pillars of the Facility working hand in hand. This mission is now being transformed to EUMAM Mozambique. New name, new mandate. The facts and figures attached are really impressive. #we_deliver #EPF

Teams performed various maneuvering exercises, demonstrating the seamless coordination between the two nations. This teamwork builds upon skills and techniques learned in 2023, advancing those scenarios to more tactical training. The maritime domain is a unique and very suitable place for SOF to take early and discreet advantage of contested areas, especially during times of crisis. The maritime domain's core characteristics, such as its opacity and proper maritime means, offer numerous operational options on the full spectrum of unique maritime operations.

Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Visit of military Operational Air Traffic unit (OAT) ✈️ in Bratislava🇸🇰 The main goal was to specify the areas that need to be focused on during lectures and simulator training for military air traffic controller (ATC) students who study at the Faculty of Aeronautics Technical University of Košice based on the signed agreements of cooperation between the Faculty of Aeronautics TUKE, the Ministry of Defense of the Slovak Republic and Armed Forces Academy of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik🪖. I was allowed access to the air traffic control units, where real flight activity was monitored. It will be possible to apply the acquired knowledge and experience in lecturing.
