A methodology was developed to help identify optimal aircrew continuation training systems for use in the tactical air forces. The area of training for employment of laser guided weapons was selected to provide a realistic example for cost effectiveness analysis. Data obtained from interviews with fourteen aircrew members with laser combat experience were used to establish estimated aircrew continuation training requirements for five mutually exclusive alternative training methods. The main criterion used to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed aircrew training system was whether or not it was judged by the individuals interviewed to be capable of maintaining an acceptable level of combat readiness for the tactical air forces. Ten sub-criteria for tactical aircrew training systems were developed and applied to the five alternative systems. Examples of the estimated economic costs of the resources required for each alternative to produce the required level of combat readiness were provided for purposes of cost comparison.
