October: CAS have been tasked, by the USAF, to implement a number of upgrades to the EPICCCS system at Polygone in Germany. These include extending the range coverage to allow exercises to be monitored throughout the whole of Germany, the instrumentation of TRTG mobile threats and the installation of TRTG video recording equipment, the development of a secondary Operation suite to assist with exercises in the far South of the range area, the instrumentation and integration of RWR-Lite emitters and the integration of a T3 threat system currently in France. These modifications will greatly increase the exercise area available to NATO pilots in central Europe as well as increasing the number of threats, and threat types, that aircrew can exercise against.
