Multi-Level Optimization of Multinational Fighter Pilot Training

Abstract

This work assesses the optimization of multinational fighter pilot training through an evaluation of the desired optimal end-state with a multi-level approach by examining multinational forces, teams, and individuals. At each level, the key tenets for optimal growth and performance are identified which enables foundational skills to be clarified, but also facilitates continued adaptability in response to an ever-changing political and combat landscape. With each level’s tenets established, the training program is designed to not only create the optimal multinational fighter pilot but to do so through optimal training practices and program design, emphasizing both efficiency and quality of training. This work is not intended to be a technical manual, but rather to examine the critical, foundational components of multinational fighter pilot training and create the structure by which optimal multinational fighter pilot forces can be cultivated.
