Pitch Black 2010

05 August 2010
Delamere Air Weapons Range

The Joint Combined Training Centre (JCTC) provides electronic warfare and opposition forces (EW/OPFOR) functions in support of allied air and ground combat forces to support high level training. JCTC utilises the Joint Deployable Electronic Warfare Range (JDEWR), the Advanced Ground Threat Targeting System (AGTTS) and the Portable Radar Warning Stimulator (PRWRS) to provide surface to air threats. Mobile hard skin and inflatable targets are used for dry and live targets for combined arms scenarios by providing the correct visual and radar signature.
