This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores the performance criteria used to evaluate training effectiveness of simulation-based training and adaptation strategies for aviation pilots. Due to the pilot shortage, and with the emergence of new technologies, the future of pilot training must change. This research analyzes metrics from a multi-year research effort using pilot task performance and cognitive workload measures, through the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, in simulation and live flight. It draws conclusions about performance criteria requirements for simulation-based training devices and adaptive learning systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USAF par rescue and combat controllers routinely recover downed or injured military personnel and direct military aircraft in hostile or denied regions. Consequently, to be effective in these careers requires the ability to cope with severe stress. The USAF uses many strategies to ensure that battlefield airmen perform well under stress but one strategy, termed stress inoculation training, has not been fully incorporated as a training element.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs to make near-term investments to develop its operational training infrastructure so that airmen are ready for high-end conflict in future contingencies but lacks the information it needs to make informed decisions for many training investments. This Perspective explores which investments are most appropriate for training needs and which should receive priority, identifying five primary components of training decisions for which additional research and information are needed to support investment decisions in the training enterprise. Focusing on combat pilot training, the authors assess where the USAF requires additional information and research to support investment decisions in its operational training enterprise. The authors note that new analytic approaches can be harnessed to improve the training enterprise but will not solve the greatest training challenges without first having valid performance metrics. This puts a priority on advancing proficiency measurement. The authors recommend that the USAF prioritize formulating performance metrics for existing competencies; experiment to identify which are most informative; and create new competencies, measurement approaches, and metrics where existing approaches do not hold up to experimentation. Further, the USAF could use downtime in its emerging force generation model to generate information for metric identification, analysis, and experimentation.

This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of works written by military researchers on the human performance research being carried out in the military. Human Performance Enhancement in High-Risk Environments: Insights, Developments, and Future Directions from Military Research takes the breakthrough work being done by the military on human performance issues and presents it in a way that is applicable to a wider audience of high-risk professions and industries, including police forces, fire fighters, the security industry, military contracting, and more. Human Performance Enhancement in High-Risk Environments focuses on selection, training, safety, and interface design—essential steps in the process of putting the right people in the right positions with the right equipment to handle dangerous work. The book's 16 chapters are each written by military experts, emphasizing lessons learned from their own experiences and research, while highlighting the relevance of their findings to other domains in which highly trained personnel operate complex machinery with high consequences of error.

This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently as the summer of 2001, many travelers were dreading air transportation because of extensive delays associated with undercapacity of the system. That all changed on 9/11, and demand for air transportation has not yet returned to peak levels. Most U.S. airlines continue to struggle for survival, and some have filed for bankruptcy. The situation makes it difficult to argue that strong action is urgently needed to avert a crisis of undercapacity in the air transportation system. This report assesses the visions and goals for U.S. civil aviation and technology goals for the year 2050.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from subjective reports, objective performance measures, and physiological studies indicate that flight training per se places a great deal of stress on the trainee. In military flight training additional stresses are involved that may markedly increase the importance of reaction to threat of physical harm. The paper reports effort to develop measures of reaction to physical harm threat and measures of change in confidence in ability to cope with that threat for use in the secondary selection process in U.S. Army aviation.

This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.

This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) helps defend the United States and its interests by organizing, training, and equipping forces for operations in and through three distinct domains-air, space, and cyberspace. The Air Force concisely expresses its vision as "Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power for America." Operations within each of these domains are dynamic, take place over large distances, occur over different operational timelines, and cannot be routinely seen or recorded, making it difficult for Airmen, national decision makers, and the American People to visualize and comprehend the full scope of Air Force operations. As a result, the Air Force faces increasing difficulty in succinctly and effectively communicating the complexity, dynamic range, and strategic importance of its mission to Airmen and to the American people. To address this concern, the Chief of Staff of the USAF requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convene a workshop to explore options on how the Air Force can effectively communicate the strategic importance of the Service, its mission, and the role it plays in the defense of the United States. Participants worked to address the issues that a diverse workforce encompassing a myriad of backgrounds, education, and increasingly diverse current mission sets drives the requirement for a new communication strategy. The demographics of today's Air Force creates both a unique opportunity and a distinct challenge to Air Force leadership as it struggles to communicate its vision and strategy effectively across several micro-cultures within the organization and to the general public. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
