His recognised NTS expertise saw Whippet appointed as an Aircraft Accident Investigator in his final military role before leaving the Defence Force Now, as the Chief Operations Officer for an international unmanned aerial systems (Drone) company, and a former Human Factors Consultant, Whippet ‘walks the walk’, applying and espousing the HF and NTS principles that On Target will teach you, to his own corporate teams.
