Who are VISIONAIRtronics?
“VISIONAIRtronics are a shining light in the ISR domain, their knowledge and ability to communicate complex issues with simplicity and empathy makes them stand head and shoulders above their competitors.”
– Head of Intelligence, Singapore Police Force
VISIONAIRtronics is a globally recognised Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Services company. Our vision is to help our clients achieve excellence by delivering excellence and we have achieved this on many occasions to our varied partners. At VISIONAIRtronics, our mission and values are to help people and organizations throughout the world realise their full potential.
Holistic
VISIONAIRtronics provides a bespoke service to niche clients who want to understand the application of ISR and UASs to their domain. We do not limit ourselves to how an asset works, we enable the customer to understand how to employ a system, integrate it and truly acquire a capability. We understand that ISR is about the whole not just the collect or the intelligence generation: it is about working in complex, contested, confused and connected environments to understand the unknown and achieve decision advantage.
Trusted
VISIONAIRtronics is a unique in that it delivers training across the full spectrum of ISR, Intelligence and UAS skills. We have successfully delivered ISR training to Militaries, coalition organizations and Police and Border Forces. Away from the traditional student body, VISIONAIRtronics has been selected to deliver workshops for Universities and Multi-national companies. This global reach enables VISIONAIRtronics to have a truly unique perspective; one that is founded on globally accepted doctrine but is understood against the reality of operations.
Our TrainingTraining shortfall is an enduring issue. Arguably the success of a training pipeline is often its own downfall as demand for graduates outstrips the ability to train. Additionally, highly trained operators are often moved to high tempo posts to support operations: training is often left as the poor relation.
The recent increase in demand for highly qualified ISR staff officers and UAS operators is often at odds with the ability to train. Recent moves by various states have attempted to address this shortfall. Of note the UK, Italian and US military have produced domestic training, the former having been developed in line with NATO doctrine and policy.
VISIONAIRtronics staff has been pivotal in the design and delivery of Joint ISR (JISR) training to both NATO Command and to member states, notably NATO AIRCOM, the Royal Netherlands Air Force and the Spanish Joint Forces. In addition we have helped the UK military in the application of UAS capability as well as working with clients around the globe. Of note, we have worked in Singapore on the development of a UAS road-map and in the Middle East on the training for all aspects of UAS employment. Recently, we have increased our portfolio to include cyber intelligence training and have successfully delivered to clients in need of understanding the next battlespace.
The experience gained from previous projects, as well as operational experience from previous military careers is used by our team to design and deliver doctrinally compliant, yet nationally
relevant training courses and services. Importantly, through liaison with the client, VISIONAIRtronics will ensure that any practical phase of training is tailored to focus on nationally relevant scenarios. In this way the course graduates will be more focused on current or future operations.
An example of practical training scenarios would be Mediterranean Migration, support to the coalition operations, Search and Rescue, Environment Monitoring and Response Planning Measures or national involvement in any other location. VISIONAIRtronics have conducted smaller courses focusing on specific issues such as cross border smuggling, urban ISR and Counter Terrorism.

Training Design
Training will be Defence Structured Approach to Training ((D)SAT) compliant and all training documentation will be made available to the client. The training course will be designed to be assessed and a certificate presented on successful completion of the course.
All training material will be delivered in English and made available to the client and student body. In addition, VISIONAIRtronics will establish an after course on-line forum in which graduates of the course can post questions or queries to the VISIONAIRtronics Team. All electronic document storage and forum exchanges is on the VISIONAIRtronics server which is compliant with ISO 27001 and boasts 256bit AES encryption.
Training will be structured following the crawl, walk, run method. Courses will be designed from the basics of a subject such as ISR operations and lead students through ISR assets to the complexity of ISR planning and execution. In addition to the academic training
requirements, VISIONAIRtronics propose to ensure that graduates can contribute
to a operations, quicker through individually designed courses reflecting the national focus of the client.
VISIONAIRtronics believe in the concept of ‘through life training’: ensuring training courses are supplied to support career and professional development. This concept was introduced to the UK ISR fraternity by Ewen Stockbridge Sime whilst he was still Serving in the Royal Air Force, and the concept lives on to this day. The ISR Foundation Course offered is an introduction to the art; the Practitioner Course aimed at tactical operators and the QWI ISR Course aimed at the experts. It is also replicated in the UK MQ-9 Reaper fraternity.

Ewen is a rare breed amongst contemporary ISR specialists, having conducted airborne dynamic ISR fusion and targeting during conventional and interstate ops, through to operational application of ISR in COIN. He was also a leader in RAF ISR policy and his role in setting up the UK’s leading ISR Course, QWI ISR, was pivotal. I still regularly seek his advice on ISR matters and rely on him as an impartial sounding board on ISR application, policy and training.

Leadership and Management CoursesDecision Making in Complex EnvironmentsBy focusing on how we make decisions, we introduce the factors involved in decision making and explore the processes individuals and organisations go through when trying to rationalise complexity. By drawing comparisons between the chaos of combat and the challenges faced by big data, we introduce hard fought lessons from military planning to overcome information paralysis.
Course length: 1 Week
How to Foster InnovationThe information age and big data results in ever more opportunity and need to do things differently. During the course, we explore the concept of foresight and identifying opportunities. We then look at how to link innovation to strategy to ensure these opportunities can be exploited.
Course length: 3 Days
Leadership & Organisational CultureLeadership and organisational culture are ‘symbiotic‘. We all have different ideas of what leadership is. But if we don’t understand organisational culture we are only focusing on half the problem. Using examples of both organisations successes and failures, this course focuses on the relationship between these two fundamental factors to achievement.
Course length: 1 Week
Knowing what you need to know: Becoming Data CentricIn this course, we demonstrate the process of breaking down complex problems into smaller manageable chunks, identifying what you need to know and linking this requirement to a potential sources. This is the first step to creating a data strategy.
Course length: 1 Week
Changing Behaviours : the Power of InfluenceBy taking lessons from the world of marketing, social media strategy and military psychological operations we have put together a course that will show how we can understand a target audience by harnessing the power of Big Data predictive analytics. This understanding can be combined with targeted information campaigns to change peoples attitudes and behaviours.
Course length: 2 Weeks

Leading Teams Under PressureSpeed is often better than accuracy. Decisive, fast acting leadership may be appropriate in the initial response to a crisis. However, unbounded and ill-structured problems benefit from more reflective approach that employs adaptive reasoning. We need to recognise when to think fast or slow. In this course, we explore the human decision making process and introduce the concept of the OODA Loop and explain how it relates to organisations. Using examples, the course will explain why it is not the strongest organisation that survives, but the one that is most adaptable to change.

Military Operations
Air Land Integration CourseAir Land Integration (ALI) is a particular form of interoperability between the Air and Land components of a military force. On this course students will learn how to create and execute operational and tactical air/land plans. Synergistically blending air and land power across all activities, from ISR to fires, manoeuvre to sustainment. The course covers both the physical and technical requirements of ALI as well as the more ethereal human factors that affect these types of operations.
Course length: 2 Weeks
Joint Effects and Targeting CourseThis is very much a ‘Full Spectrum’ targeting course, focused primarily on the integration of all aspects of the targeting process into wider military operations. Our experienced instructors will take the students through the targeting process. The emphasis will be to develop the students’ ability to take a holistic approach reviewing multiple targets together and apportioning the full range of appropriate actions in accordance with the campaign plan. In this way linking tactical activity to strategic success.
Course length: 3 Days
Attacking the Network CourseThis course teaches students the skills required for organising, conducting, and assessing Attack the Network (AtN) activities in support of military operations. It describes the fundamental actions, analytical methodologies and frameworks that form the basis for identifying and exploiting threat network vulnerabilities.
Course length: 1 Week
Campaign Planning CourseOperational art is the employment of military forces to attain strategic goals through the design and conduct of operations. The term Art in this sense, refers to the creative skill and imagination of the commander rather than just the application of a specific process or science. This course is designed to develop and build these skills and give commanders the tools to translate strategic objectives into tactical actions.
Course length: 2 Weeks
Tactical Planning Course: The Combat EstimateThere are multiple tactical planning processes, but all of them have a common purpose; to make sense of complexity and allowing commanders and planning staff to make decisions and develop realistic deliverable plans. This course can be specifically tailored to focus on any specific estimate process, but was born out of the experiences of our instructors in planning UK and NATO operations.
Course length: 2 Weeks
20
Red Teaming and War-gamingAs the phrase goes, ‘no plan survives contact with the enemy’, the key is not to build excellent plans, but to conduct excellent planning. This will build in resilience and adaptability for when, inevitably, the situation changes. The crucial element is to objectively test assumptions, face risks and pressure test the execution of the plan from the perspective of the competitor. This requires every action to be rehearsed and checked before executing. We will teach you how to conduct red teaming, war gaming and rehearsals. We will then cover contingency planning and consequence management.
Course length: Dependant on the mission set

Unmanned Air SystemsThe proliferation of Unmanned Air Systems UAS) is obvious.
There are many companies out there offering UAS training: VISIONAIRtronics is different. We apply the same ethos we have in other training areas to the UAS domain. We don't just train a pilot to fly a UAS, we train him to operate and employ the system. Our UAS training takes an operator from a CAA template ground school through a phase of simulator training, then out to the airfield for remote control training and live flying on our bespoke systems.
We use highly qualified, experienced operators and have provided fixed and rotary wing system training to a global clientele.

ISR and the UAS The UAS is often considered as a total ISR capability. However, the UAS simply collects data. This course is designed to enable the student to fully understand the utility of a UAS, how to task it effectively and how to exploit the most from the collected data.
Counter UASThe UAS is a powerful tool, but that power is not restricted for use only by the ‘good guys’. A UAS in the hands of the adversary is a complex and difficult issue to solve. VISIONAIRtronics worked on the Security Plan to the London Olympics in 2012 and dealt with the issue of how to find and defeat a small UAS before it could impact the games.
There are many threats from a small UAS: it poses a threat to privacy, media rights, freedom of movement and physical well being. Finding and defeating a UAS is difficult. But through years of experience and working with some multi-national companies, VISIONAIRtronics has put together a Counter UAS course. The course builds on experience from planning large, high visibility events using case studies to illustrate the complexity of counter UAS operation.
The UAS CONOPThe UAS CONOP course is designed to address a client’s need to understand the UAS as a capability, how to employ it to achieve effect and gain Decision Advantage. VISIONAIRtronics instructors will introduce the CONOP process, outline the mission or operation and then guide the student body through the generation of an organic CONOP.
The objectives of the course are as follows:
Illustrate the CONOPs
Understand the concept of ISR
Understand sensors and assets
Understand mission/environmental specifics
Lessons identified from previous operations
Produce an organic CONOP
The results of this course are tangible in that the students leave the training with a draft CONOP that can be used in their primary role.
Operator TrainingGround School
The Unmanned Air System Ground School follows CAA guidelines to ensure that all essential subjects pertaining to UAS operations are covered. The course assumes no knowledge and builds from first principles. The objectives of the course are as follows:
Principles of Flight
Meteorology
Navigation
Human Factors (UAS Specific)
Flight Controls
Air Vehicle Performance
23
Airspace
Flight Planning
Pilot Training
External (RC) Pilot Training.
The EP training package is broken down into three distinct stages of training, allowing for a gradual and stepped approach. This will allow the student to develop the skills and confidence to operate a wide variety of aircraft types. Successful completion of the course at each stage is required before onward progression. Once qualified a conversion to the client’s aircraft will be carried out.
Internal (mission) Pilot Training.
The IP training course is designed to enable a student to operate their system safely and with effect. Trainees will be lead through an academic phase exploring the basics of UAS operations, a simulator and finally a live flying phase.
Sensor Training
The sensor operator course is designed to assist an operator in making the most efficient use of their sensor. Initially the course will explore sensor types and technologies and then look more specifically at imagery and full motion video. The course will then develop and specialise in the sensor technology specified by the client. These technologies could include the following:
LiDAR
ViDAR
Synthetic Aperture Radar
Ground Moving Target Indicators
Hyper & Multi Spectral Sensing
Technician Training
The final member of the UAS team is the technician. This course is designed to assist technicians with understanding the components and servicing requirements of a UAS. It will then explore operations procedures, logistics and maintenance.
UAS Tactical EmploymentMission Specific Training
Our mission specific training courses are designed for each client in accordance with their requirements. The training is designed to help individual clients understand their issues in more depth and how ISR and UAS employment can assist. Courses range from the following:
ISR for Border Security. Border security is one of the highest priority operations by any State. The training offered by VISIONAIRtronics has been delivered to European and Middle Eastern Government Agencies looking to understand how ISR and UAS capabilities can assist the security of the Nation.
Counter Smuggling Operations. Smuggling destabilises regions and it’s defeat is essential for economic security. This workshop looks at ‘attacking the network’ which allows a client to understand, exploit and defeat a smuggling threat.
Urban ISR. The urban environment is arguably the most complex in which an ISR Force has to operate. This course allows the client to understand the nature of the environment and the impact that is has
24
on ISR operations, allowing client to make informed decisions concerning the utility of ISR in their urban spaces.
Urban UAS Employment. In a similar vein to the urban ISR course, this training helps the client understand the utility of an UAS for urban operations.
Pipeline Security. Pipelines carry a natural wealth, as such they are a lucrative target. Protection through prevention is the ideal solution to the issue and this course allows a client to understand how to identify potential perpetrators and enable predictive intervention.
Migration Monitoring. Migration is a global issue and it is applying direct pressure to some regions of the world. The ability to monitor migration is essential is governments want to either prevent or prepare for migration. This course uses experience from our instructors to explain how an ISR system can be used to monitor migration and enable a State to provide humanitarian assistance where required or to take remedial action to prevent a crisis from occurring.
Precision Agriculture. The technological revolution is here and ISR can assist in precision agriculture. Be it understanding and implementing efficient harvesting for farms or plantation management for commodities banks we can help.
Pollution Monitoring. Pollution is becoming a serious issue around he globe. UASs are now being employed to monitor everything from maritime pollution to oil slicks and from factory gas to car exhaust. This course uses real world case studies to explore the use of UASs to monitor pollution, drawing out strengths and weaknesses and enabling a client to make informed decisions.
