Summary The MCCDC Operations Analysis Division (OAD) is supporting the F-35 community in determining resource requirements for pilot training. A critical component of this is the Integrated Training Center (ITC) Model developed by Mr. Paul Kenny of Spyglass. Both the aircraft developer (Lockheed Martin) and the Joint Program Office use this model to determine class flows and time to train (TTT). However, initial tests based on comparisons to the well established F-16B' s training requirements have raised the concern that the ITC model is producing overly optimistic estimates of TTT. The SEED Center will team with OAD, the model developers, pilots, and the F-35 training community to do a careful review of the ITC model. Furthermore, based on the findings of the review, a series of experiments will be done to identify sets of input parameters that produce accurate TTT predictions.
