Description

RAF Spadeadam fields a number of Threat Systems and Enablers that are used to develop aircrew tactics and countermeasures against representative Radio Frequency (RF), Ultra Violet (UV) and Infra-Red (IR) Surface to Air (SA) systems. These are a combination of Real, Emulated and Simulated systems that are used for air defence by countries around the world; they are invaluable in training aircrews and testing aircraft systems against the likely threats they may face in combat.
As a part of the suite of threat systems, RAF Spadeadam has used the JETS system since 2000 for the tactical training of aircrews against a range of simulated Air Defence (AD) systems.
There is a requirement for a support contract to cover the above. Further details details of the type of support required will be detailed later in this advert.
