Seventeen attendees from Switzerland, Croatia, Lithuania, Denmark, Poland, Turkey, Hungary, Belgium and Romania completed the fourth edition of the Advanced Remote Sensing Course (ARS), which began on June 3rd. The course aimed to provide participants with the knowledge and capabilities to draft operational analysis reports, recognizing and describing military and civilian objectives using digital images from various airborne and satellite sensors.
The course, conducted entirely in English, was designed in-house specifically for NATO and Partnership for Peace (PfP) countries by the Remote Sensing Course Department of the Italian Joint Air Operations School (Ita-JAOS) in Guidonia (RM). It is part of the second training phase designed for remote sensing imagery analysts from allied and friendly countries, following the Initial Remote Sensing (IRS) Course. This course is also a prerequisite for admission to the subsequent Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Interpretation (SAR II) Course.
Through the ARS course, students acquire knowledge and techniques for the operational analysis of remotely sensed images, enabling them to identify, describe, and analyze both military objectives (such as weapons systems and installations) and civilian targets of strategic interest (including land types, communication lines, ports, airports, power plants, industrial installations, specific structures, and urban areas).
The ARS course is certified "NATO Approved" and is included in the Education and Training Opportunities Catalog (ETOC), the catalog of courses offered by the Allied Command Transformation (ACT), the Supreme Command based in Norfolk, Virginia (USA), responsible for the training, doctrine, and transformation of NATO's military forces.
