Elements and Performance Criteria

Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Required Skills

handeye coordination

manual dexterity

recognise aerial targets appropriately

Required Knowledge

characteristics technical capabilities of the system

characteristics of a range of aerial targets likely to be encountered

methods of range estimation

OHampS requirements

safety precautions associated with the equipment

Evidence Required

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to correctly identify the appropriate number of aerial targets as specified by Combat Arms Training Centre to track and engage targets using very short range air defence systems and short range air defence systems to successfully carry out simulated engagements using weapon simulators and to communicate information quickly clearly and accurately in a high pressure environment

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over a range of actual or simulated weapon employment tasks

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in a simulated operational environment due to the high cost of ammunition The simulation should replicate the live environment where stress and fatigue are key features The individual must be assessed as part of a team

Specific resources for assessment

Access to operational equipment training and simulation equipment

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA Public Safety Training Package

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
