In this episode, we're going on exercise with the RAF Regiment Reserves to the South Atlantic. Exercise Southern Sunrise saw members of the RAuxAF Regiment deploy to the Falkland Islands to conduct overseas Annual Continuation Training or ACT. The aim was to cultivate and enhance a 'ready to fight' culture to optimise and integrate the RAuxAF Regt in support of operations, assigned tasks, contingencies, and warfighting. We sent AS1 Chris Keen along with them. InsideAIR is produced for the Royal Air Force by RAF Media Reserves. Theme music by RAF Music Services.

Ep 124: RAF On Show at DSEI
The RAF loves its acronyms and initialisms, and these were out in force when InsideAIR went along to the RAF stand at Defence and Security Equipment International in London. Meeting visitors to the stand were the strategists and operators of Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (ACP), RAF Regiment personnel from the Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS) Wing showing off ORCUS, the new boss of the Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) explaining the LANNER platform, and Team Pellonia to talk about EREBUS and Next Generation Air Survivability (NGAS).
