The Brief

Our customer - a far-east island nation air force, and their associated scientific research institute - faced a persistent risk of conflict with neighbouring states and had a need for continuous training to establish a robust viable EW operational capacity. This needed to balance training volume, depth of content and operational capability against the customers’ enduring threat.

It was essential to conduct the evaluation of EW training, whilst rigorously preserving the customers’ sovereign intelligence and protecting discrete capabilities.

The Project

Our personnel represent the highest calibre of UK military training; both in front-line capability and training provision, which often go hand-in-hand.

This meant that a specialised cohort of our EW subject matter experts were able to precisely address the customers’ requirements, remaining efficient and effective against both requirement and cost.

Our domain experts visited customer operational locations, receiving capability briefs from selected operational and training units. We were then able to meticulously analyse this information and relate its effectiveness against a hypothetical ‘gold standard’ – aka the best that can be achieved.

Outcome

The customer received two invaluable products as a result of our partnership.

Firstly, we delivered a presentation to the state air force senior leadership at the end of the formal visit. This presentation detailed initial conclusions and potential rapid delivery areas, enabling an opportunity for accelerated air force effectiveness enhancement.

Secondly, after the visit, our team provided the customer with a comprehensive formal report. This was created in such a way as to provide expert guidance to optimise capability based on evidence provided during the visit.

The report went further to provide suggestions based on best practice and gold standards that the customer might consider employing. This mechanism explained to the customer the potential benefits of relating their own capabilities against best practices, whilst simultaneously safeguarding details of sovereign capability.
