Custom Name Tag Mission Controller ATC ABM Air Force

Air Traffic Controllers play a critical role delivering Airbase Air Traffic Services and are responsible for directing civilian and military aircraft and vehicles that operate at military airfields. Working in control towers and radar control rooms, you’ll perform this role with a degree of precision to ensure the airfield runs like clockwork. However, ATCs do far more than just work with radar screens in towers. The role often calls for controlling the airspace above an active battlefield, on land or at sea. This means ATCs work closely with the Army and Navy, including operating from Navy vessels.

The role of an Air Battle Manager is to take control of aerial battles, controlling the skies and performing critical surveillance using advanced electronic command systems. Your primary function is to guide pilots and airborne assets to where they are most needed to directly influence the battlefield. Operating radar, communications and tactical data links to locate and identify targets, the role provides pivotal support to Air Force combat operations in critical moments. The role doesn’t only work on land, as opportunities exists to fly in the E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft (AEW&C).
