Proficiency-Based Training

Advanced Data Tracking, Visualization, and Feedback for Optimal Human Performance

The U.S. Air Force is leading the way in modernizing training with Proficiency-Based Training (PBT). This data-agnostic, scientifically grounded approach uses operator-driven inputs to deliver personalized and scalable training across diverse missions. By leveraging PETS, LNCS, and SimMD, the USAF measures, tracks, and optimizes warfighter performance, ensuring continuous readiness in an increasingly complex environment.

PETS, LNCS, and SimMD: Integrated Tools for Superior PBT

PETS (Performance Evaluation Tracking System), LNCS (Live, Virtual, Constructive Simulation), and SimMD™ (Simulator Training Diagnostics) are foundational to PBT. Together, they create a powerful ecosystem where human performance data, simulator fidelity, and mission-critical insights align seamlessly. This synergy ensures that training is continuously optimized, providing the USAF with a critical advantage.

Key Advantages

  • Real-Time, Science-Based Feedback: PETS delivers immediate, validated feedback through proficiency dashboards.
  • Comprehensive Analysis: LNCS visualizes data collected by PETS, enabling deep analysis of training exercises.
  • Continuous Improvement: The system is driven by real-world data, ensuring training evolves with mission needs.

Scalability and Adaptability

PETS, LNCS, and SimMD are proven across various USAF platforms and international sites, demonstrating their adaptability. Their deployment in real USAF training environments ensures these tools are effective under operational conditions, tailored to meet diverse mission requirements.

  • PETS: Tracks, analyzes, and visualizes performance data, offering detailed feedback at multiple levels.
  • LNCS: Integrates live, virtual, and constructive environments, providing comprehensive performance visualization and enhanced after-action reviews.
  • SimMD: Evaluates simulator fidelity, ensuring training environments match high-fidelity scenarios. Its adaptability makes it invaluable for real USAF operations.
