Delivering effective training to meet increasing demands on UAV pilots

This year the US Air Force will train more pilots for UAVs than manned platforms in line with the increased demand for persistent surveillance in Afghanistan. With UAVs at the centre of current operations and their usage and significance only to increase over the coming decade, Defence IQ’s UAV Training and Simulation conference brings together thought leaders and innovative case studies, offering a fantastic opportunity to identify the challenges and requirements of the UAV pilot training community to drive procurement initiatives to ensure that you are maximising training capabilities.

Building on the excellent heritage and high-level support of Defence IQ’s Military Flight Training conference, UAV Training and Simulation 2010 is looking to address the main issues affecting the growth of UAV training and simulation initiatives throughout the armed services.

• How synthetic simulated environments can plug the gap created by limited flying time
• How training non-rated aviators can help avoid the expense and wasted skill set of training fighter pilots to be UAV pilots
• Where the optimal balance lies in the training mix between classroom, simulation and flying training
• How training systems must be tailored to meet the demands of both surveillance and strike operators
• What differentiators need to be considered when training strike or surveillance UAV pilots
• How a defined UAV career structure can combat the morale issues caused by current assignment freezes
