Summary

[edit]
Description
English: RAF Regiment Forward Air Controllers (FACs) from the Air Land Integration Cell (ALIC), Based at RAF Honington (Suffolk), guide a Typhoon from 6 Squadron onto their target at the Cape Wrath practice range in Scotland.

6 Squadron was training to use Typhoon in the air-to-ground strike role, building on their ability to use it in the air-to-air air defence role.

For the RAF regiment, the exercise formed part of ALIC FAC training for both Operation HERRICK (Afghanistan) and contingency operations. RAF Regt personnel provided Laser designation and target ‘talk-ons’ ensuring that the inert Paveway II weapons successfully struck their targets.
