B -- LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES AND REENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATE FLYING SOL 98233 DUE 091198 POC george.selix@randolph.af.mil, Lt. Col. George Selix, XPRT, Chief of Learning Technology, 210-652-7840 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Chief of Learning Technologies, george.selix@randolph.af.mil. One of the primary missions of AETC is to conduct undergraduate flying training. Given the rapid advances in new more complicated/costly weapon systems and declining budgets, we need to find better ways to produce pilots and navigators. This SSS asks for your ideas on how we can do it. In a general sense, we need your thoughts on these three questions: 1) Is there a better way to produce AF pilots and navigators; 2) Can Joint Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (JSUPT) be restructured to increase quality while reducing cost; 3) What technological or learning theory advances will have a positive impact on quality? We have both a short and long term time range. Short-term interventions, now through FY01, need to be self-financing: costs have to equal savings with a one-year payback. Long term projects, those implemented in FY02 and beyond, aren't necessarily constrained by a one year ROI, but certainly that will help "sell" the program. All initiatives need to be executable and sustainable. Wewould like respondents to put together a two to three page description of their ideas in enough detail for us to evaluate costs, benefits, and applicability. After our analysis, we will ask some of you to come to Randolph AFB for face-to-face discussions. These discussions will be behind closed doors, so that your inputs are not shared with your competitors. Any effort applied in response to this sources sought synopsis shall be at no cost to the government. We look forward to your ideas. Paper inputs are due to HQ AETC/XPRT by COB, 11 Sep 98. 244 F Street, Suite 2, Randolph AFB, TX, 78150-4321 Posted 08/21/98 (W-SN240280). (0233)
