Design and construction of multiple training and evaluation plans
The Challenge
NLR helped the RNLAF with F-35 acquisition and operational readiness by focusing on transforming the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) into a smart buyer and assisting the RNLAF with a smooth transition from the F-16 to the F-35. Within this programme, multiple training & education projects have been carried out to design and improve training for pilots, maintenance staff and mission support crew.
The Solution
The activities mentioned helped to develop a variety of products and services, including:
- Initial and recurrent training course content for pilots and maintenance staff
- Design and execution of an Operational Test & Evaluation plan for Continuation Training
- Design and construction of a WLT (Weapons Loader Trainer) including augmented reality applications.
What we did
The training methods, tools and activities carried out by NLR throughout the F-35 programme include:
- Training Needs Analysis (TNA) for pilot maintenance staff and mission-support roles
- Design of an F-35 pilot competency profile, initial and recurrent training course content
- Training Media Selection Analysis (TMA)
- Business case for a Maintainer Training Centre (MTC)
- Multi-Spectral DataBase (MSDB)
- Continuation training including
- Performance-Based Training (PBT)
