Commuter Air Technology Graduates 100th Student from ISR Training School
OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Commuter Air Technology (CAT), an AGC Aerospace & Defense company, graduated its 100th student from its U.S. Air Force contracted MC-12 Sensor Operator Initial Qualification Training Program.
“We pull from our experiences to make this training the best representation of what these operators will encounter when they’re in the field.”
The training curriculum includes field simulations, material review, and class discussions to train operators of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor equipment on the MC-12 (Liberty) aircraft. Students of the CAT ISR training school have completed over 400 sorties and 1,000 flight hours. CAT, with teammates Valair Aviation, also an AGC Aerospace & Defense company, and Grey Aviation, took the program from contract award to a fully operational course in a few short weeks.
“We developed a comprehensive program based on the technical capabilities of the equipment, the operation tactics, and the scenarios these students are likely to encounter when operationally deployed,” stated Darryl Wilkerson, President of CAT and the AGC Integrated Defense Group. “Our focus is on providing these airmen and those they support in the field with the knowledge and expertise they need and can use.”
“We’ve been there, in theater, in a range of situations and under various conditions,” said Gary Ambrose, Senior Vice President of CAT. “We pull from our experiences to make this training the best representation of what these operators will encounter when they’re in the field.” CAT’s instructors are all combat veterans with direct ISR mission experience.
