Pakistan Air Force's role in the War on Terror & building for future success
3 October 2018
No.4 Hamilton Place, London
Lecture
18.30 - 20.00
Pakistan’s armed forces have waged a relentless and very effective war against terror in the country and has established the writ of the government in the tribal territory. Pakistan Air Force has played a key role in the success of this campaign and the rest of the world’s air forces could learn much from PAF’s experience.
Over the course of this evening's lecture the Pakistan Air Force will speak on the following topics:
Application of Air Power for Effective Counter Insurgency Operations
The presentation will cover the brief history of Application of Air Power for Counter Insurgency (COIN) Operations and will discuss in detail the Pakistan Air Force Counter Terrorism Operations Model. Moreover, detailed experience of Multi-Prong strategies employed by Pakistan Air Force during the Counter Terrorism and Insurgency Operations would also be discussed along with the challenges faced and how they were overcome. The talk will also enlighten the audience with a valuable experience gained by Pakistan Air Force during its tireless efforts to eradicate the menace of terrorism through application of Air Power over the decades.
Aviation City Kamra: Future Regional Aviation Hub
The existing National Aerospace hub at Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra has come a long way in aggregating the experience in highly specialized part manufacturing, special process / coatings, maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) of military aircraft & turbojet / turboprop engines (over 1000 aircraft & 1000 engines overhauled at PAC since 1974), to manufacturing of Super Mushshak aircraft, co-production of Falco UAVs, co-development and manufacture with China of JF-17 Thunder Aircraft.
Building on the enormous existing capability, a state of the art Aviation City Pakistan is being established in Kamra with the National Aerospace Science & Technology Park (NASTP) as a cluster of Design and R&D setups, universities, vocational training institutes, private aerospace industry (R&D, manufacturing, warehousing, MRO), National Incubation Center (NIC) and Certification Authority, among others. One Window Operation & world class housing, and other amenities will also be part of the smart Aviation City along with the authorization of facilities and amenities of Special Economic Zones (SEZ).
The presentation will cover this in greater detail and how the eco-system of NASTP will be leveraged for academia-industry linkages to drive innovation in aerospace industry and make Pakistan future hub of aviation in South East Asia.
Pakistan Air Force: Paving our way through Self Sustenance
Til the late 60s, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was dependent on foreign aircraft manufacturers for maintaining its fleet and a sizeable amount of foreign exchange was being spent for ensuring operational readiness. To achieve self-reliance in the shape of maintenance, repair and overhaul, generally known as Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO), of PAF’s fighter aircraft foundation stone of Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) was laid back in 1970s. Later on aircraft manufacturing capability was also added to broaden PAC’s role and task. The complex comprises four factories broadly involved in aircraft manufacturing, MRO of existing aircraft, MRO of avionics systems, MRO of jet engines, harness manufacturing and similar other aviation related tasks. Recently a new setup named Aviation Research Innovation and Development (AvRID) has also been established. This setup is responsible to undertake research in key areas to provide technological prowess to Pakistan’s Aviation Industry by preparing technically capable human resource.
