Training Overseas
The SAF has been looking for
opportunities for training in friendly
countries since the 1970s. Today, the
SAF trains in many countries, including
Thailand, Brunei, Indonesia, Australia,
New Zealand, France, Sweden, South
Africa, Canada, and the United States.
Such training facilities have helped to
meet a big portion of the SAF’s requirements for large scale and complex
exercises. They also promote closer relations with our overseas
counterparts and raise the professionalism of our soldiers. An excellent
example is our RSAF fighter pilots who train alongside the United States
Air Force. Their outstanding performance during friendly competitions
affirms the quality of our men, machines and systems.
Use of Simulation Technology
The SAF has invested heavily in
simulation technology to overcome
land constraints. Today’s simulators
render a high degree of realism. Army
tank crews using the Integrated
Armour Tactical Trainer can roam
realistic landscapes hunting down
enemy forces. The benefits are numerous. Besides substituting for field
training, simulators also allow for some types of training that would
not be possible in as realistic a manner in real life. For example, in a
simulator a pilot can be safely taught difficult manoeuvres like
emergency handling. And air traffic controller trainees can be drilled
in various emergency procedures without endangering any lives
or property.
