Operation Slipper RAAF Control and Reporting Centre
The Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) undertakes 24/7 operations in Afghanistan. RAAF personnel are responsible for airspace management and air surveillance tasks over southern Afghanistan.
Their work involves aircraft coordination in support of Coalition air operations protecting troops on the ground. The CRC is also responsible for coordinating air-to-air refueling.
The air surveillance role involves RAAF personnel collecting information from various radars across Afghanistan and creating an air picture, which is used by Coalition agencies to view and conduct air operations.
RAAF is providing the Coalition with important situational awareness, thereby demonstrating seamless interoperability with coalition forces.
