Aerial Surveillance

Introduction

Aerial surveillance provides a holistic overview of an incident area enabling the decision makers to justify the deployment of response resources to the affected areas. It provides an operational platform to aid future operational decisions as a situation unfolds. The course will provide skills and knowledge to those that would be required to conduct aerial surveillance missions on a response.

Objectives

Each of the lessons in the training course has a clearly stated lesson objective, stating what the students will be able to do after each lesson. The Enabling Objectives (EOs) clearly state what the students can be expected to do during the lesson. All objectives are clearly verifiable with indicators. The specific skills to be attained by the students during the exercises are stated with indicators and conditions.

Training Methodology

The selection of modules and their subject matter content in this course are designed to address the training needs of the target group. This means that the instructors - for each individual course – may have to define in some detail the specific training needs of the specific target group. The selection of relevant modules and exercises, their sequence and any additional supporting references and materials to fit the agreed needs of a target group will have to be determined by the instructors in close collaboration with the client and the host country organization.

A series of PowerPoint presentations have been prepared covering all the lesson modules which constitute the pedagogic component of the Aerial Surveillance training course.
