<strong>Simulation</strong>s <strong>and</strong> the <strong>JTAC</strong><br />
Initially <strong>Simulation</strong>s are used in basic <strong>JTAC</strong> upgrade<br />
Allows upgrade airman to practice <strong>and</strong> apply base processes of<br />
CAS system.<br />
9-line execution<br />
Artillery/Mortar integration<br />
Terminal Guidance Operations<br />
Naval Gunfire<br />
Rotary Wing CAS/CCA<br />
AC-130 operations<br />
Night Close <strong>Air</strong> Support<br />
Compare the price of a simulator to the coordination involved in a<br />
single CAS mission<br />
