Other Flight Training

Abstract

Program supports the Air Education and Training command (AETC) Decision Support System (ADSS) which is an automated information system that provides AETC leadership and staff with key management information about training production status, including monitoring and assessment of training. The data and reports from ADSS provide the vital feedback mechanism essential to an effective programming and management process. The hardware and software components of ADSS interact and communicate via the DOD standard communications infrastructure. The system uses DOD information transfer assets that provide seamless communications within and across systems and media. Recent changes in funding use laws require compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and resulting AFI 65-601 allocation/use of development funds. ADSS development funds must now use RDT&E funds vice previously used O&M funds. New law does not allow use of O&M funds for RDT&E actions. Per direction in the memorandum from SAF/FMBM dated 15 Aug 07, and IAW DoD FRM Vol 2A, 010212 B1, all developmental activities involved in bringing a program to its system objective are to be funded in RDT&E. The Aviation Resource Management System (ARMS) is the authoritative data source for recording and managing aircrew training information, aircrew/parachutist management, flying hour tracking, flight pay management, and flying gate tracking for 70,000 Air Force members. The Air Force uses this information to enhance safety-of-flight operations and to determine eligibility to perform aviation related events. New development work is required to provide additional flying operations information, which will aid in better portraying Air Force readiness, and to feed this data into Defense Readiness Reporting System Strategic (DRRS-S). These enhanced capabilities, to be developed incrementally, include the following: electronic flight record, support enhanced flying hour management/execution, simulator and RPA management/utilization, full career logbook, training look-back, aircrew member man-month allocation, enhanced resource and jump module management, and interface with DRRS-S. ARMS data will also be used to support Headquarters Air Force/Major Command (HAF/MAJCOM) level readiness decision reports/analytics. Recent changes in funding use laws require compliance with the NDAA and resulting AFI 65-601 allocation/use of development funds. New development work in support of ARMS needs to be accomplished with RDT&E versus O&M funds. This program is Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
