Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to operate a vehicle, including all wheeled road transport vehicles, using night fighting equipment (NFE) as an aid to driving at night in limited or no light under field conditions. NFE is a collective term that refers to image intensification equipment. It is used by the driver in limited or no light conditions to enhance and improve natural vision at night, when other forms of lighting are prohibited by the operational situation. The driver is required to perform all of the standard driving activities using NFE including vehicle preparation, serviceability checks, driving and navigation. In addition, the driver, while dismounted, is required to direct another vehicle using hand signals. This unit was developed for military drivers in a threat environment, but is applicable to any individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency should be assessed in operating with NFE as a complete activity commencing with the issue of instructions for a night move.
