1998/07 - Enhanced Training for UAV Pilots

Year

1998

The RSAF established the UAV Training School to formally train specialised UAV pilots and mission commanders.

UAV officers used to be drawn from a range of combat vocations. When the RSAF recognised the importance of nurturing a quality pool of specialised UAV pilots, the UAV Training School (UTS) was formed on 1 July 1998. It conducted all courses related to UAV operations, namely, the UAV Wings Course, Receive-Only Station Commander Course, UAV Instructor Course, and External Pilot Course.

The UTS was set up to formalise the training of new UAV operators and mission commanders in the RSAF, with MAJ Jimmy Ng as its first Commanding Officer.
