With the advent of complex, wide-screen visual flight simulators in the United States Air Force, there has also developed a significant problem with simulator-induced sickness. This paper reviews the history of this problem in the Air Force as it is understood at present and discusses its possible impact on training. It also reviews preliminary studies conducted on one of the most advanced visual systems developed thus far, the General Electric Visual System Component Development Program (VSCDP) as well as future Air Force plans for research on this system.

This study evaluated an Air Force research tool aimed at transforming the aircraft on-the-job flightline learning environment by supporting a variety of learning preferences through a Job-Aiding and Training Tool (JATT.) A comparative evaluation was conducted between the traditional presentation of maintenance task information (PDF) and a training enhanced information presentation (JATT). The study found that use of the training enhanced presentation significantly improved total completion time by 16%, decreased errors by 49%, while decreasing the number of trainer assists by 73%. JATT users liked the system 22% more, rated the helpfulness of the interface 30% higher, found the interface 66% less frustrating and felt 35% more confident than did PDF users during their performance of the maintenance activity.

Equal Consideration

The Air Force recognizes the importance of Manpower, Personnel, and Training (MPT) issues in weapon system acquisition. To give supportability of future weapon systems equal consideration to cost, schedule, and performance of the system, the Air Force has set out to build an integration system to monitor MPT issues.

The Air Force Medical Modeling and Simulation Training Program Management Office identified an opportunity to more effectively utilize Air Force funds. The developed process reduces unnecessary purchases and streamlines the procurement and validation of medical simulation training equipment. The two-phase initiative included development of the Simulation Procurement Equipment Requirements Matrix (SimPERM), which compared equipment capabilities with training objectives, and aligning the SimPERM document with the existing equipment tracking mechanism, The Integrated Global Equipment Request System. Post procurement communication with the Biomedical Equipment Technician community was vital to successfully reduce extended warranties. This procurement initiative has enhanced allocation of US$1.1 million in Air Force resources per year by transitioning previous poorly planned purchases to validated Air Force education and training requirements.
