 High-payoff
training interventions that can be applied to improve the mission
planning skills of USAF fighter pilots are being developed in a project
for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Focus of the project
is on the planning needs of pilots using the AFRL Distributed Mission
Training (DMT) system. Interventions are being identified through
a training needs analysis in which a set of high-payoff mission planning
skills are identified, promising interventions are extracted through
SME interviews and literature review, and a Delphi approach is used
to achieve consensus among a panel of experts concerning those interventions
that will have the greatest potential. The result will be a set of
concept design specifications for the most promising interventions.
A set of behaviorally anchored rating scales to evaluate the quality
of mission planning by F-16 fighter pilots for air-to-air missions,
missions that historically have received little mission planning training,
were developed for the AFRL Warfighter Training Division. The scales
are intended to allow expert pilots (who are not expert researchers)
to collect reliable and valid process and performance measures so that
the quality of mission planning behaviors can be correlated with subsequent
mission performance. The measures will identify topics for improved
training as well as "high driver" topics in need of further
study.
