The forward air controller, a qualified individual, primarily provides terminal attack control of close air support in the vicinity of friendly forces, from the ground or air from a forward position on the battlefield. Close air support (often abbreviated CAS) is the use of military aircraft in a ground attack role against targets in close proximity to friendly troops, in support of ground combat operations. ...
For new process areas, involving enclosed modules with a potential methane buildup, gas detection systems and controls are being used to shutdown and blowdown processes and to turn on high rate ventilation systems rather than closing up the space and trying to inert it with an extinguishing agent.
Halon 1301 use in the rest of the oil and gas and process industries is somewhat limited to the protection of electronics in control rooms as the process areas are not enclosed as they are in Alaska and the gas accumulation problem is not present.
Thus the control rooms in the process industries are not unlike the protection of equipment in the essential electronics segment.
A forwardaircontroller (FAC) is a qualified individual who, from a forward position on the ground or in the air, directs the action of military aircraft engaged in close air support of land forces.
ForwardAirController as an official acronym that came from World War 2 when the Allies were rapidly advancing across France and the Low Countries towards Germany.
Military targets are in the Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA) where the enemies are in direct contact and behind enemy lines in camps, storage areas and lines of communication, which is known as air interdiction and does not require an FAC.
