MH-53E

The MH-53E Sea Dragon is the current cornerstone of the Navy's Airborne Mine Countermeasures program. DPA conducted an extensive task analysis and all follow-on documentation for the development of pilot training. This led to the development of a training program which integrated computer based training (CBT) with simulator exercises and actual flight procedures. This was followed by the development of similar courseware for aircrewmen. DPA designed and installed a complete Learning Resource Center to support this program at NAS, Norfolk, VA. The LRC is staffed by DPA personnel.

 

SH-60B

This helicopter is the Navy's short range weapon against surface and submarine attack. It is capable of seeking out enemy threats and either attacking that threat itself or coordinating attack by the fleet. DPA developed a computer based training program for SH-60 pilots.

 

CH-60S

This is a new helicopter with multiple capabilities including cargo, search and rescue, and airborne mine countermeasures. DPA is developing computer based training for pilots and aircrew. This will be the first to use CD-ROMs, intranet, and internet as its three primary means of distribution.

 

T-44

This project provided systems training courseware for T-44 pilots. It included both computer based training for self study and electronic support for instructor-led guided reviews. DPA provided and installed all hardware for both phases of this program.

 

S-3B

DPA was selected to develop Pilot and Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training materials for the S-3B Viking aircraft. The program will include self-paced computer based training (CBT), computer-assisted instructor-led presentations, and computer managed instruction (CMI). To support the program DPA will install student stations, instructor stations, and a high speed network.

 

E-2/C-2

DPA produced computer based training for E-2 and C-2 aircraft maintenance crews and plane captains. The training is delivered on CD-ROM via laptop computers at the squadron shop level.

 

NAMTRAGRU A School

This project supported the introductory program for Aviation Machinists Mates (AD) at the Navy's new training site in Pensacola, Florida. DPA designed and installed four electronic classrooms to support instructor-led presentations. One classroom also serves as a Learning Resource Center. It contains 20 computer stations which allow students to access computer based training modules on a self-paced basis. DPA developed prototype graphics and animations to support the instructors' presentations.

 

PMA-299/SH-60

DPA developed a computer based training (CBT) program for SH-60 pilots. Selected lessons from this program were converted to informational units based on a Navy web page.

 


MARINE CORPS

 

CH-53D

Existing slide-tape units for systems training were converted to a computer based training format. Equipment to support the program was installed in a Learning Resource Center in the squadron's facilities, MCAS, Kaneoe Bay, Hawaii. This Center is operated by DPA personnel.

 

CH-53E

Building on the design work that had been done for the Navy's MH-53E, DPA modified the materials for the Marine Corps' CH-53E. The result was a pilot training program that integrated computer based training (CBT) with simulator exercises and corresponding flight regimes. This program is delivered through a Learning Resource Center designed, installed, and staffed by DPA at MCAS, New River, NC.

 

HNVS/GPS

The training program that DPA developed for CH-53E pilots included instruction in the operation of the Helicopter Night Vision System (HNVS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS). This follow on project developed computer based training modules to teach organizational level procedures for maintaining these systems.

 

AH-1W

DPA developed pilot training for the AH-1W Cobra. The program included an integrated sequence of computer based training, simulator exercises, and flight regimes. It also provided for electronically supported instructor-led presentations and guided reviews. This program is delivered through a Learning Resource Center designed, installed, and staffed by DPA at Camp Pendleton, California.

 

KC-130 ACT

Aircrew Coordination Training is a key factor in aviation safety. This computer based training program combined instruction on the key elements of aircrew coordination with videotaped scenarios which allowed trainees to discuss and critique the actions of the participants. The techniques applied to this project could also be applied to any other aircraft.

 


AIR FORCE

 

MH-53J

This aircraft is the primary vehicle of the Air Force Special Operations Wing. DPA conducted an in-depth analysis of mission requirements and available training. This included the following:

1. Training System Requirements Analysis

a. Mission/Task and Skills Analysis
b. Target Population/Entry Skills Analysis
c. Training Requirements Determination
d. Objectives and Objective Hierarchies
e. Standards of Evaluation
f. Technology Assessment
g. Candidate Media and Methods
h. Training System Model

2. Manpower, Personnel, and Training Analysis

a. Curriculum Development
b. Media Development
c. Training Management System

 

CV-22

In preparation for the introduction of this new aircraft, DPA developed detailed syllabi of instruction for all stages of pilot and flight engineer training. These include mission qualification, upgrade, in-unit continuation and refresher, re-qualification, and instructor and key staff training.

 


DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE:

 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Procedures and systems were designed to effectively integrate and install UAV training programs in operational military systems and to develop implementation plans for UAVs. DPA established an Industry Support Group (ISG) for UAV logistics along with a Training Subcommittee to study specific inputs for planned UAV systems.

 

Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS)

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) was considering the implementation of a new system to handle payroll procedures for civilian employees of the Department of Defense. DPA conducted an in-depth study of the existing finance centers and their capabilities for training staff members for the new system. In addition, this study proposed possible curricula and instructional delivery methods.
