I would think TASC would be shifted under UAV command wad.
-
But so far, everything related to UAV under TASC liao ... A Command to manage another Command ???

Why a separate UAV command?
Shouldn't it be under the ADOC and participation command? -
Yes, i also have doubts as to why UAV have its own separate command. I think it must be because the RSAF place great emphasis on UAV technology for its future needs.Originally posted by Fairyland:Why a separate UAV command?

u mean, for the army's demands

Participation command sounds very...strange. Like what schools set up to make students enthu about events and all.
Maybe should be called Joint Support command or smth. Sounds better don't you think -

Running an air force using ball sense

What's the difference between running a country's air force and managing a football team?
.
Not much apparently, according to the Chief of Air Force, Brigadier-General (BG) Ng Chee Khern.
.
Taking the analogy further, BG Ng explained that the recent restructuring of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) was done to allow different parts of the team to train together "with a mission in mind from Day One".
.
Said BG Ng, 41, who took on his role last March: "Previously, with the airbases, the way we train the F16 and F5 squadrons, it's almost as if you are training the defenders with defenders, midfielders with midfielders and strikers with strikers. And, once in a while, every Saturday, you come together to play."
.
With the inauguration of the Air Defence Operations Command last Friday, the RSAF makeover, which will move it away from a geographically-based command and control structure to one that focuses on core mission areas, will be complete with five new Commands set up by 2009.
.
The RSAF senior leadership, he said, has been studying future concepts in order to stay relevant amid the evolving security landscape and increased operational demands such as homeland surveillance and humanitarian relief missions.
.
A key thrust behind the re-organisation was to integrate the air force, not just within itself, but also as part of the Singapore Armed Forces, he added.
.
"Let's say in a counter-terrorist scenario, it won't be just police or army personnel. Helicopters and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) will be deployed. You have to make sure that the whole training process Â… ensures that you can do that effectively before the time comes," he said.
.
The UAV Command, which will develop the SAF's UAV capabilities, will be set up next within two months.
.
Only after the re-organisation is complete will the RSAF focus on people development, which BG Ng tags as the "last piece of the jigsaw".
.
"Before we understand how the economy will develop, it's very difficult to structure your university faculties to support the economy. In the same way, now that we are clearer on how the air force's structure and technologies will be developed, it becomes much easier for us to know what attributes of the air force officers we need to develop in the coming years."
.
In the meantime, the first batch of F15 fighter jets will be ready for take-off in two years, he said. The RSAF is still in discussions with the United States in finding a base there to train these pilots, with Idaho reportedly being a potential site.
.
The RSAF is also undergoing trials on using corrective eye surgery — widely used in the US Navy — for prospective fighter pilots who are myopic.
