An Analysis of the Marine Corps Aviation Training System Requirements Life Cycle

Abstract

This capstone applied project examines the suitability of the current requirements life cycle for Marine Corps aviation training systems, including new programs and upgrades. Methodology includes a comprehensive review of existing policies and processes as well as interviews with key stakeholders. Analysis has identified weaknesses in the areas of training-focused requirements generation as well as portfolio management across Marine Corps training system programs. Recommendations include integrating modeling and simulation (M and S) expertise into the Training Management Process (TMP) and full implementation of Training Systems Certification (TSC) and Systematic Team Assessment of Readiness Training (START) tools to improve requirement relevancy to training needs as well as improved portfolio management for Marine Corps training systems led by Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM). This capstone applied project concludes with recommendations for further study related to these matters.
