ADVANCING THE INDIAN AIR FORCE TRAINING CAPABILITIES
SP’s Aviation
|Issue 7, 2024
A new chapter has been introduced in the history of the Indian Air Force (IAF) with the inauguration of the Weapon Systems School (WSS) by Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari, Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), at Air Force Station Begumpet, Hyderabad on July 1, 2024.
This follows the approval of a new branch of officers in the IAF, the Weapon System (WS) branch in 2022. This specialised branch will train operators of various ground-based and specialist weapon systems. With greater operational efficiency the WSS aims to foster and adopt a more cohesive approach to offensive strategies. The WSS is aimed at recalibrating and transforming the Indian Air Force as a futureoriented force.
According to the statement from the IAF, the formation of this new training establishment is a gigantic leap for the Armed Forces in general, and the IAF in particular. The addition of the WSS has been one of the key initiatives of Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari.
