More than 40 Typhoons belonging to three European Air Forces have
deployed to Decimomannu airbase in the last few weeks to take advantage of the
local ACMI (Air Combat Manoeuvring Installation) ranges.
Since mid June, more than
40 Eurofighter Typhoons belonging to the German, Italian and Austrian Air Force
have deployed to Decimomannu airbase, in Italy, to undertake training
activities in the large training ranges surrounding Sardinia island.
Decimomannu is the home of the AWTI (Air Weapons Training Installation)
established 55 years ago by the NATO partnership of Italy, Germany, Great
Britain and Canada. The AWTI exploits an ACMI (Air Combat Manoeuvring
Instrumentation) range where air-to-air missions and DACT (Dissimilar
Air Combat Training) are remotely monitored and recorded, and
an air-to-ground bombing range at Capo Frasca, where pilots can train dropping
both dumb and smart weaponry.
