CAE USA to Support U.S. Air Force Pilot Training
CAE USA was recently awarded a contract from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to support the U.S. Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and its Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT 2.5) initiative.
The UPT 2.5 initiative, which builds upon the Air Force’s Pilot Training Next experiment and falls under the umbrella of Pilot Training Transformation (PTT), will implement a range of commercial technologies and learning methodologies to help the Air Force streamline pilot training and create a more open, self-paced and adaptive student-centred training environment.
“We are excited to be part of the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) Pilot Training Transformation efforts and offer some of CAE’s training systems integration expertise,” said Ray Duquette, President and General Manager, CAE USA. “We have been focused in recent years on making investments in digital technologies and data analytics that will help our military customers produce pilots faster and more efficiently. We look forward to progressing on this journey in partnership with the U.S. Air Force.”
Optimising Through AI
CAE USA will have responsibility for the installation and integration of a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS), which is a key element of the CAE Trax Academy pilot training continuum. The LMS will enable the Air Force and its students to access training content such as schedules, courseware, and remote instruction more easily on demand. In addition, by implementing an LMS that is optimised through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the Air Force expects to create a pilot training process that is continually adapting and improving.
The Air Force also intends to develop an AI flight instructor that would provide active and passive instruction to aid student learning and progression through the pilot training syllabus.
Over the next year during the initial phase of UPT 2.5, CAE will collaborate with the Air Force and other industry partners to develop and test the LMS and AI components. Installation, integration and testing will take place initially at both Joint Base San Antonio Randolph (JBSA-Randolph) in Texas and Vance Air Force Base (AFB) in Oklahoma.
Furthermore, Pilot Training Next (PTN) is part of USAF AETC’s initiative to reimagine how learning is delivered. PTN focuses on how Airmen learn and use emerging technology, to train them better, faster and foster deeper learning.
Technologies include virtual reality, AI and data analytics, which can be tailored to the training environment and individual student. PTN offers students the opportunity to learn in a collaborative, learner-centric environment, in line with AETC’s redesigned Continuum of Learning model.
