According to him, the successes recorded by the force depended largely on human resources, technical and logistics support.
Amao spoke during First International Conference on Data Science and Engineering by the force held at the Air force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna.
The two-day conference was held with the theme ‘Embracing Digital Transformation.’
Represented by the Chief of Staff, Air Training Command, AVM Emmanuel Chukwu, Amao said data science and engineering was very imperative to the force.
He said: “NAF will focus on valuable opportunities to develop its human resources in technical and logistics support for efficient deployment of air power in battle against crime in Nigeria.
“Pervasive computing in aero space military intelligence is an integral part of the Nigerian Air force operations.
“The international conference on data science and engineering is in response to the dynamic and complex nature of security environment, which requires application of computerised gadgets for easy and efficient sensor, processing and transmission of security information.”
