Contractor-Supported Aircrew Training Systems: Issues and Lessons Learned
Abstract
The current trend within the Air Force is to design aircrew training programs as total integrated systems rather than as collections of courses or blocks of instruction. This trend has been coupled with a concurrent shift to contracting-out the design, delivery, and support of aircrew training. These changes have introduced a new set of technical and management issues which impact the design, development, evaluation, and operation of aircrew training programs. AL/HRA is conducting research and development to address several of these issues in order to provide principles, procedures, and user-oriented guidelines to support Air Force acquisition and operational training agencies. In this review, data were collected from several Air Force aircrew training system (ATS) programs to identify the major issues and lessons learned during the design, development, evaluation, and operation of these systems. In addition, data were also obtained from selected Navy and allied forces aircrew training systems to serve as a cross-check on the generality of the Air Force findings. The major findings of the ATS review are summarized, and key issues and lessons learned are identified and discussed.
