An Analysis Of The Benefits Of Operational Experience Acquired By Air Force Systems Command (Afsc) Officers Through The Broadening Experience Tour (Best) Program, Andrew A. Abraham
An Analysis Of The Benefits Of Operational Experience Acquired By Air Force Systems Command (Afsc) Officers Through The Broadening Experience Tour (Best) Program, Andrew A. Abraham
Theses and Dissertations
This research effort was conducted to study the effects that operational experience acquired through the Broadening Experience Tour (BEST) program has on the ability of scientific and development engineering (S and DE) officers to develop useful operator-oriented systems. A review of the related literature revealed that although the Air Force encourages S and DE officers to acquire operational experience, there is no empirical evidence of the reported benefits of this experience. A cross sectional study was undertaken to measure the difference in self reported competency between samples of S and DE officers with and without operational experience. A survey was …
The Advanced Tactical Fighter Early, Structured, And Continuous User- Interface Process: A System Program Office/User Team-Building Concept, Robert K. Barry
The Advanced Tactical Fighter Early, Structured, And Continuous User- Interface Process: A System Program Office/User Team-Building Concept, Robert K. Barry
Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this study was to develop an acquisition management tool that would improve the working relationship between the System Program Office (SPO) and the User during the Demonstration and Validation phase. It accomplished this by documented the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) Early, Structured, and Continuous (ESC) user-interface process in a draft handbook. This handbook was also developed to support a continuing Command-wide effort to improve the acquisition process. The study found that the ATF ESC process was also developed in response to senior Air Force management guidance, lessons learned, and ATF SPO management direction. The ATF ESC process …
An Examination Of The Perceived Importance Of Technical Competence In Acquisition Project Management, Charles R. Baumgardner
An Examination Of The Perceived Importance Of Technical Competence In Acquisition Project Management, Charles R. Baumgardner
Theses and Dissertations
This research examined the importance Air Force acquisition project managers attribute to technical competence, and several individual and situational factors which might affect their perceptions of the importance of technical competence: extent of acquisition experience, degree of technical academic training, level of project technology, caliber of technical project team, and acquisition phase. A review of the literature revealed that previous studies of project and program managers suffered from several limitations with regard to a direct examination of the importance of technical competence. No single study has empirically supported a clear determination on the importance of this attribute to project managers. …
A Study Of Variables To Help Predict Navigator Training Success And Classification, Gary A. Hagler
A Study Of Variables To Help Predict Navigator Training Success And Classification, Gary A. Hagler
Theses and Dissertations
This study attempted to build statistical models which could possibly be used to help predict an individual's final outcome of pass or fail from Undergraduate Navigator Training (UNT). Also, the research tried to develop models to help place a potential trainee into one of the three training tracks at UNT. The variables studied were test scores from a computerized testing device which measured psychomotor and cognitive skills of individuals entering training. The Air Force Officers Qualifying Test (AFOQT) scores were also variables considered. Data was from 317 trainees from the years 1988 to 1990. Discriminant analysis was applied in an …
The Development Of An Officer Training School Board Score Prediction Method Using A Multi-Board Approach, Sandra C. Niemi
The Development Of An Officer Training School Board Score Prediction Method Using A Multi-Board Approach, Sandra C. Niemi
Theses and Dissertations
One phase in the Officer Training School (OTS) selection process is meeting a selection board. Recruiting Services (HQ ATC/RS) currently uses a regression model (based on data from one board) to evenly distribute 'quality' among the different panels in the selection boards. HQ ATC/RS wanted a method of predicting board scores based on data from multiple boards. This study used the results from eighteen boards and 9215 applicants to develop and validate a multi-board regression model for each of five application categories. Comparisons between the two models showed mixed results. In two categories, non- rated operations and technical, the single-board …
