The potential for UAVs to benefit the civilian consumer is driving the demand for the integration of these vehicles into the national airspace. With UAV accidents occurring at a significantly higher rate than commercial airlines, the urgent issue becomes designing systems and protocols that can prevent UAV accidents, better train UAV operators and augment pilot performance. This paper presents three directions of research stemming from the goal of a UAV piloting and training system. Research direction one is the development of a research platform to assess UAV pilot skills and recreate the sensation of shared fate for UAV pilots. The second research direction looks at utilizing flight simulation packages to create virtual tools for training UAV pilots. The third direction covers the investigation of UAV’s in near earth environments as future applications will place UAVs in these areas.

Army pilot training requirements, particularly in the helicopter area, are growing rapidly. To meet the increased training load, an Army-wide system of aircraft simulators, known as the Synthetic Flight Training System (SFTS), has been designed and is under development. A feature of the SFTS is the automation of many instructor functions normally associated with training in flight simulators. A portion of the automation involves the application of adaptive training techniques. This paper describes the SFTS and the rationale for the incorporation in it of adaptive training. The selection of appropriate adaptive variables, techniques for error measurement and for providing feedback to trainees, and the adaptive logic employed are discussed.

Flight simulation had played a very important role in aerospace and aviation industries as an engineering tool and training equipment. Computers provided the capability of stimulating an aircraft in flight without actually flying the aircraft, thus providing safety to pilots and also cost reduction in pilot training and aircraft design. Aerodynamic characteristics were modelled mathematically to display the air craft orientation and the aircraft motion during manoeuvres. Implementation of aerodynamic database system enables a flight simulator to stmulate many types of aircraft manoeuvres.

The construction of a national service for the evaluation of the school system had a long and difficult birth in Italy, and lagging behind the international panorama. The first signals that show attention to this problem date back to 1990, at the National School Conference, where for the first time, a hypothesis about this was formulated. However, the times were not yet ripe for an institution of this kind: in fact, at that time there was lacking a centralized computer system capable of recording the data of the Italian school system. In 1997 the Minister of Education Giovanni Berlinguer, by a directive, instituted the National Service for the Quality of Education, with the task of "assessing the situation and the effectiveness of the country's training system, its different articulations to at all levels, in order to suggest the necessary improvements and to be able to compare our situation with comparable situations in other countries ”. This service is established at the European Center for Education (CEDE), an institution which belongs to the Ministry of Education and which also has the institutional tasks of learning problems and their evaluation. By legislative decree N ° 258 of 1999, the CEDE was transformed into a National Institute for the Evaluation of the Education System (INValSI) with a substantial extension of its tasks and purposes in the evaluation sector. The realization of this National Evaluation Service (SNE) was accelerated by the establishment, on the part of the Ministry of Education in July 2001, of a Working Group whose objective is to develop a service which provide, at different levels of decision and intervention (Ministry of Education, local authorities, schools) useful information for understanding the phenomenon of "school" and its behavior over the years; this information is essential so that each subject, at their level, can make an informed decision on the policies and objectives to be set, verify their activation and progress, allocate resources correctly, with a view to continuous improvement. The working group projected the SNE model and tested it in the field for three years, through three Pilot Projects (PP): PP1 (school year 2001-2002), PP2 (school year 2002-2003) and PP3 (school year 2003-2004), which are described in broad outline below. The objective of these Pilot Projects was to verify the technical and economic applicability of the initiative by making, if necessary, the adjustments suggested by experience. It is on the basis of this experience that the legislative decree (No. 286, November 2004) on the “Institution of the National Service for the Evaluation of the Education and Training System” was promulgated, which emphasizes the purpose of this service: assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the system "by framing the assessment in an international context" (art.1); the seat is redesigned and becomes, to face its new role, the INVALSI (Istituto Nazionale per la Valutazione del Sistema dell'Istruzione e della Formazione). Schools and training establishments, Regions, Provinces and Municipalities are also involved, each according to their skills, to achieve this objective.

We explain the recruiting and promoting system for high-level Japanese government officials showing the trend of numbers of applicants for the recruitment examination, those who passed the examination, and also those who were employed by some ministries in the last 17 years. We describe the major characteristics of the promotion system for Japanese government officials. Educating and training Japanese government officials in the area of policy studies have been conducted in both university schools, governmental training centers, governmental schools and colleges. An education and training system for government officials needs to be developed so that each government official is equipped with a certain specialty and expertise. A formal system for evaluating individuals and programs has not been common in Japan, especially for evaluating individual work and contribution. We need to “invent” an evaluation system that will make the government officials’ decision-making system work more efficiently. Public and private universities, in particular, have been very active in creating many policy-related schools and departments in the last 20 years. Policy studies, which have been conducted in various schools in the university and government research institutes, are described in detail with their objectives, curriculums, and requirements.

As the world economy is becoming globalized, more domestic businesses are branching to overseas. Thereupon the number of expatriate workers who are getting assigned to overseas are increasing, and needs for systematic selection and training system for overseas expatriate workers are in dire needs. Nevertheless researches in this area are not enough and still inadequate level domestically. Therefore we developed the Global Competency Scale (GCS) with the purpose of the local businesses to use it to predict the possibility of successful overseas job performance and to select and train the right overseas expatriate workers. To develop the scale we conducted researches on documentations and interviews with former overseas expatriate workers and expatriate program managers in human resource department(HRD). Based on these results we developed 14 initial factors with 138 items. Using theses items we conducted both on & offline survey to people who work at global and multinational companies in Korea. With the 381 people's survey results, we implemented the cross validity. After cross validating we generated final 6 factors with 24 items. The GCS score we developed in this research shows that the degree of their goal achievement during past overseas experience and level of their satisfaction was significantly high in those criterion variables proving the criterion-related validity. Especially the GCS we developed in this research shows that after controlling the effect of English skills, still appear to have significant effect on criterion variables. Finally based on research results we discussed academical and operational implication and limitations for the further researches.

The Cost

Abstract Advanced jet training still relies on old concepts and solutions that are no longer efficient when considering the current and forthcoming changes in air combat. The cost of those old solutions to develop and maintain combat pilot skills are important, adding even more constraints to the training limitations. The requirement of having a trainer aircraft able to perform also light combat aircraft operational mission is adding unnecessary complexity and cost without any real operational advantages to air combat mission training. Thanks to emerging technologies, the JANUS project will study the feasibility of a brand-new concept of agile manoeuvrable training aircraft and an integrated training system, able to provide a live, virtual and constructive environment. The JANUS concept is based on a lightweight, low-cost, high energy aircraft associated to a ground based Integrated Training System providing simulated and emulated signals, simulated and real opponents, combined with real-time feedback on pilot’s physiological characteristics: traditionally embedded sensors are replaced with emulated signals, simulated opponents are proposed to the pilot, enabling out of sight engagement. JANUS is also providing new cost effective and more realistic solutions for “Red air aircraft” missions, organised in so-called “Aggressor Squadrons”.

This paper looks to expand on the INEC 2016 paper ‘The future role of virtual reality within warship support solutions for the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers’ presented by Ross Basketter, Craig Birchmore and Abbi Fisher from BAE Systems in May 2016 and the EAAW VII paper ‘Testing the boundaries of virtual reality within ship support’ presented by John Newell from BAE Systems and Simon Luck from BMT DSL in June 2017. BAE Systems and BMT have developed a 3D walkthrough training system that supports the teams working closely with the QEC Aircraft Carriers in Portsmouth and this work was presented at EAAW VII. Since then this work has been extended to demonstrate the art of the possible on Type 26. This latter piece of work is designed to explore the role of 3D immersive environments in the development and fielding of support and training solutions, across the range of support disciplines. The combined team are looking at how this digital thread leads from design of platforms, both surface and subsurface, through build into in-service support and training. This rich data and ways in which it could be used in the whole lifecycle of the ship, from design and development (used for spatial acceptance, HazID, etc) all the way through to operational support and maintenance (in conjunction with big data coming off from the ship coupled with digital tech docs for maintenance procedures) using constantly developing technologies such as 3D, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality, will be proposed.  The drive towards gamification in the training environment to keep younger recruits interested and shortening course lengths will be explored. The paper develops the options and looks to how this technology can be used and where the value proposition lies.
