The United States Air Force (USAF) Test Pilot School (TPS) has undertaken a substantial initiative to prepare its graduates for the challenges of the 21st century. Recent geo-political realities and advances in technologies have motivated USAF TPS curriculum managers to improve their syllabus to better support the advancing needs of the USAF flight test community. An interpretation of survey data concerning challenges faced by USAF flight test teams can be distilled into a single word: complexity. The emergence of intelligent interconnected solutions in social-technical environments has substantially outpaced the efficacy of traditional tools in these situations with a corresponding negative effect on emergent behaviors such as safety. For almost 15 years, the USAF TPS education strategy has been to be as domain agnostic as possible. USAF TPS believes it has had a measure of success with this strategy. The reality is also the advent of technical complexities such as cyber all have characteristics which drive the need for new tools. The assumption is, if USAF TPS does not adapt its curriculum to face increasing complexity and only continues to train legacy techniques and tools, its graduates will not be prepared to deal with the future.
