4.
Most UAS maintenance training lacks dedicated maintenance trainers as well as digital technical orders and manuals with embedded refresher training. This results in factory representatives having to be fielded at most UA operating sites and to deploy to war zones to compensate for inadequate training.
5.1.3 Training Goals
1.
Future ground stations should be required to be capable of conducting actual and simulated flights with negligible configuration changes required. (This will not preclude the requirement for stand alone full mission simulation devices of part task trainers due to high usage mission system time approaching 24/7 for some systems.)
2.
OPTEMPO associated with GWOT demands that training be streamlined, especially “difference” training associated with system upgrades at forward operating locations. Web-based training should be considered and modular training packages should be created to allow users to train in blocks as time permits and as the mission allows.
3.
UAS maintenance courses should be provided with dedicated versions of currently fielded systems and digital technical orders with embedded refresher training.
4.
Control maintenance training costs. Consider the use of contractors to maintain systems that require unique and costly training as an alternative to training military personnel.
5.2 OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS DEVELOPMENT—PARTICIPATING AGENCIES
The potential for using UAS in new and innovative ways has long been acknowledged by many in the military establishment. It is the function of the Service battle labs to convert such assumptions into demonstrations of practical application. Originally an Army concept (1992), battle labs have been established by the Services to address, in the Army’s words, “categories of military activity where there appears to be the greatest potential for change from current concepts and capabilities, and simultaneously, the areas where new requirements are emerging.” The dynamic nature of these emerging requirements underscores the importance of continued funding for these organizations. UAS employment has figured prominently in the short history of these organizations.
5.2.1 Army
The Army’s Advanced Aviation Technology Directorate (AATD), an element of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command’s Aviation & Missile Research, Development, & Engineering Center, is located at Ft Eustis, VA. AATD is focused on developing, integrating, and demonstrating new technologies for future UAS, specifically the integration of manned and unmanned aviation. It operates four Vigilante UA testbeds and is in the process of converting an AH-1F Cobra into its optionally piloted unmanned combat airborne demonstrator (UCAD). It is also developing the Wing Store UA (WSUA) for launch from 2.75-inch rocket pods carried on helicopters.
