Mission Planning Skills of USAF Fighter Pilots

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.
