Training for Cost Effective Operations

This is a workshop that will cover both military and civil training issues related to the deployment of autonomous UAV systems. Using scenarios relevant to both military and civil deployment it will take attendees through the fundamental issues facing all operators.

This workshop will suit both military and civil personnel engaged in the training of UAS crew, and those charged with the design, development and operation of aircraft with significant autonomous behaviour in complex scenarios.

 

Aspects that will be covered include:

Roadmap to Autonomous UAS Operation

  • History – R&D costs likely to be small compared to the next phase of development
  • Todays technology – costs of developing Communication and Sense and Avoid Systems etc
  • Tomorrows aspirations – where are the saving to be made if any?

Core Operator Skill Training Requirements

  • Aptitude v trained ability
  • Concept of Operations drives level of training
  • Compare Army v RAF Operation
  • Ab initio & Post Grad training
  • Training facilities – system simulation, tactical scenario simulation
  • Testing, Examining, Certification & Licencing of operators
  • Authority to withdraw Licences
  • Governing Bodies/Agencies
 Basic Training Issues for Aircraft System and Human Interaction 
  • Current training best practice approach
  • Not all Systems are created equal! Who or what is autonomous in the system of systems?
  • Authority, responsibility and accountability.
  • Rules of Engagement
  • Good Airmanship - System vs Human approaches

Understanding Airspace

  • Civil vs Military approach to airspace development and usage
  • Proper use of Reserved Airspace (Temporary)
  • UK Civil approach to airspace change
  • Adopting an effective company airspace usage strategy 

Training for Diverse Operations

  • Getting the basics right
  • Adapting current training practice
  • Single vs multi aircraft systems
  • Team vs Individual learning programmes
  • Centric system bottlenecks
  • Getting the training mix right

Civil/Military Coordination

  • Strategy and planning, differences and similarities
  • Potential Conflicts
  • Authority for conflict resolution – policy and real-time
  • Rules and Regulations
  • Standardisation 

Integrating Manned / Unmanned Operations

  • CoRTS application
  • Human vs system latency
  • Human vs system context drivers
  • Military deployment
  • Civil operations 

Establishing a Standard Approach

  • Basic regulatory approaches
  • Forces/Company approaches
  • Commercial v National defence Interest
  • Developing the necessary insight understanding
  • Training the systems trainers
  • Learning outcomes 

Future issues

  • Future Flight Management/Control
  • Cognitive approaches to UAS operation
  • Transitions – Designing out Human fallibility and electronic intransigence

 

Tools used in this workshop:
 
 
SeCORETM is a basic synthetic environment CORE that lends itself to the investigation and assessment of aircraft flight profiles and dynamics in complex situations. Based on work both within the US and Europe it combines data from various sources (radar, flight telemetry, synthesised flight profiles and man-in-the-loop) allowing scenarios to be developed and analysed.
 
 
CoRTSTM is an assessment tool developed as a spin off from the UK ASTRAEA programme. CoRTSTM uses a specially embedded notation within regulatory documents to provide for a Real-Time System assessment capability targeted at both Civil and Military operations. It is particularly suited to issues such s “Rules of Engagement” and “UAS special operations” where a number of issues may be required to be assessed and resolved within a finite timeframe by human operators or computerised autonomous elements within the overall system . Intrinsic to the CoRTSTM approach is the capturing and traceability of Authority, Responsibility and Accountability within a system or systems.

About your workshop leaders:

 

André Clot worked for 10 years on the high level strategy for NATS systems development including engineering systems, training and manpower strategies before embarking for the last 11 years on the design, development and operation of UAV Systems. Key milestones have been as the UK’s first UAS Flight Demonstration Director for the successful Watchkeeper initial trials at ParcAberporth and as the Trials Director for the Light UAS Flight Operations within the UK ASTRAEA Civil programme. He is currently Director of EuroUSC, the first company to be awarded Qualified Entity status for the assessment of Light UAS within the UK and has been a Council Member of the UK’s UAV Trade Association, UAVS, for over 10 years.
Group Captain (Ret'd) Brian Rogers (MBE) has been involved in Aerospace Battle Management, Command and Control (C2) operations and space-based surveillance for most of his Royal Air Force career. As head of the RAF’s School of Fighter Control, and Station Commander RAF Boulmer he shaped the ab-initio and postgraduate training of fighter controllers, surveillance officers

WHAT IS CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

GLOBAL CPD

Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
