Weapons System Officer (Fighter) as the name suggests.. . means
handling the whole firepwoer of the aircraft. Most Figther jets
comes in as 2 seater planes. One for pilot (pure controling,
manevour the plane), the another for WSO (Fighter) the fire the
missiles, bombs, guns on the plane ...
WSO (Air Defense Artillery) takes cares of the ground defense
systems. They inculde operating SAMs (Surface to Air Missles) and
Anti-Aircraft Guns ...
WSO (C3) [Command, Control, Communications] is one who sits inside
the ATC, and gives the aircraft the full surroundings and situation
around the plane. In a fighter jet, the aircraft radar can only see
what's infront of him. The C3 controller gives the aircraft the
rest of the 'picture' . This requires u to be on ur feet all the
time.
WSO (UAV) [Unmanned Ariael Vehicle] flies the UAV. U get to see
classified Black n White Maps wherever the UAV flies ... That's
means, spotting the enemy way b4 they see u, or any ground troops
see the enemy.
For UAV personnels, it comes under the Tatical Air Support Command
(TASC). The TASC HQ and UAV Sqns are not located in an airbase. I
know the place. And I heard complains about the smell of pig farms
floating into the camp. SO, if u really wana be in UAV, prepare to
bear with the stench ...
