Capabilities-Based T&R Presentation CNAP/CNAL 3500.1 Capabilities-Based T&R Presentation 01 January, 2016

Reporting (SHARP/DRRS-N) Agenda This Capabilities-based T&R course will cover the following topics Overview T&R Matrices FHP Overview Simulators Ordnance Reporting (SHARP/DRRS-N)

Overview General Policy Guidance

Policy Overview “ The mission of Naval Aviation training is to prepare tactically and technically skilled aircrew to win at war. To develop the combat skills required to accomplish this mission, Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components: Capabilities-Based Training and Readiness (CB T&R) Matrices, the Flight Hour Program (FHP), Non-Combat Expenditure Allocation (NCEA) ordnance, simulation, Type Wing Advanced Readiness Programs (ARP), Air Combat Training Continuum (ACTC) and FRTP major events. “ This policy is the CNAP/CNAL 3500.1 (CB T&R), dated 10 Dec 2015 Enclosures 1-15 contain the specific TMS matrices Appendix A - Matrix Format Appendix B - Ordnance Categories Appendix C - Reserved for Interim Matrices Appendix D - Equivalent Sortie Length Matrix Appendix E - Number of Authorized Aircrew Appendix F - FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan Appendix G - Glossary of Terms

The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard Introduction – Building Block Approach The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of training attainable with the resources available. To execute this training strategy, Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components. The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard

General Policy Guidelines - T&R in DRRS-N 80 - 100 0 - 59 60 - 79 TFOM CDR Assessment Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculation Discuss that this brief is T pillar specific. TFOM = Pf x Ef

General Policy Guidelines - CVW/EXP FRTP Cycle TSTA AWF C2X ARP Depicted is a notional FRTP cycle. The actual FRTP cycle is determined by the operational schedule for the CVN and Strike group. Basic Integrated Sustain Deployment Maintenance ULT/ACTC

General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates It is essential that squadrons and detachments understand the impact of the following dates since they can greatly effect the readiness calculations in SHARP. These dates are managed at the TYCOM level via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) and, in some cases, delegated to TYPEWINGs for management. FRTP Start Date This the beginning of an FRTP Cycle. Normally, the FRTP date affects ordnance expenditures and other SRS/DRS items Employability Start Date For CVW squadrons, this is the completion of C2X or Fallon, whichever happens last For non-CVW units, this is the completion of C2X or as defined by your TYPEWING For all units, this date marks the crossover point between Production and Sustainment skills Phase Transition date Normally used by non CVW based units (VP, Exp, ETC) Indicates the date the unit moves from Production to Sustainment

General Policy Guidelines - T&R Objective “The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of combat readiness as efficiently as possible with the resources available. Although training is continuous, it is recognized that readiness levels will vary depending on the phase within the FRTP.” Capabilities-Based Training & Readiness (CB T&R) Matrices Flying Hour Program (FHP) Simulation Non-Combat Expenditure Allocation (NCEA) Advanced Readiness Program (ARP) Air Combat Training Continuum (ACTC) FRTP Major Events ARP ISATT (HSM) TSTA Air Wing Fallon COMPTUEX/CERTEX

General Policy Guidelines - FDNF Units FDNF Units include: CVW-5 HSM-51 Due to the dynamic schedule and OPLAN requirements, FDNF units are required to maintain higher levels of readiness Flight Hour funding is elevated to maintain higher state of readiness All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End

General Policy Guidelines - Reserve Units Reserve Units Include: TSW (VFC-12, VFC-111, VFC-13, VAQ-209) VR (C-40/C-130/C-20G) VP-62 and VP-69 HSC-85, and HSM-60 HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component matrix Same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts Higher periodicities due to greater experience levels

General Policy Guidelines - Waivers Waivers may be requested when resources are not available or when external factors (weather, operational tasking, range availability, etc.) preclude execution of tasks in the T&R matrix Carrier Air Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons under their operational control Type Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons not attached to a CVW and all detachments under their administrative control Waiver format example embedded within instruction Waivers are submitted to the CNAP or CNAL N40 for approval. If resources such as Ordnance or Flight Hours are affected, the decision to approve/disapprove moves to the CNAP or CNAL Chief of Staff

Wing Training Manuals (WTM) The T&R Instruction is the foundation upon which the WTM is based. The WTM sets forth requirements for individual aircrew training and defines the resources required. The WTM is intended to provide community-specific details required to successfully execute training. As a minimum, the WTM (and addendums) shall include: A detailed description of each training task in the task to skills section of the matrix.  The prerequisites for each training task in the task to skills section of the matrix.   The specific training objectives of each task that are aligned with T/M/S NMETLs.  The requirements for completion and pass/fail criteria for each task in the Task List. Initial criteria will be based on fleet experience or existing training documents and will be adjusted as required after periodic review of aircrew performance data.  The Measures of Performance (MOP) and MOE shall be used to evaluate each task. Debrief sheets will be included when applicable.  WTM performance metrics shall be linked and consistent with each community NMETL standards to ensure uniform Current Readiness Assessments.  An Enlisted Aircrew Training Syllabus (other than the simulators and flights already listed in the matrix, if required).  Ensure that a defined link between ACTC flight and simulator events directly to T&R tasks is accomplished.  Clearly define special qualification definitions and requirements (e.g., FAC A, Strike Lead).  Clearly define stand-alone academic requirements that are not tied directly to a specific T&R Task.  Clearly define squadron ground training requirements. Squadrons shall implement a ground-training program to support the flight-training syllabus, satisfy the requirements of mission qualifications and maintain the professional standards required of Naval Aviators and Aircrewmen.

There is NO CNAF policy restricting 20mm belts to 150 rounds. See Wing Training Manuals and Wing/Station Weapons policies for standard belt configurations. CNAF is pursuing increasing the amount of 20mm for training to allow for 10 events with full belts – defined as 400 rounds based on Rhino limitations. NCEA for DMLGB will be available for FA-18A-D, but they have not been approved for release on any range,

Appendix F – FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan

COMPTUEX Air Wing Fallon ARP ULT Appendix F – FRTP Ordnance Expenditure Plan Appendix F delineates NCEA allocation to each training event in the FRTP. Type Wing Weapon Schools, NSAWC, and CSFTL/P provide inputs for their FRTP events during the annual T&R Conference. ULT ordnance is allocated in 90-day blocks as determined by CNAL NCEA Readiness Officer. NOTE: TSTA is currently considered ULT. Changes to Appendix F requires coordination with the respective training organization and CNAL/CNAP. Changes to shipboard events shall be minimized due to logistical constraints. COMPTUEX CSG-3 / CSG-4 Air Wing Fallon NAWDC ARP Type Weapon Schools ULT E2E MISSILEX ULT 90-days ULT 90-days TSTA (ULT) ULT 90-days ULT 30 day Deploy NCEA Maintenance / ULT Basic Integrated Deploy Sustain FY FY

CVW FY16 NCEA – Sample Roll-up This is an example of the Air Wing NCEA worksheet used to plan and distribute NCEA. Ordnance requirements for each VFA squadron’s major FRTP events are displayed and totaled. A similar spreadsheet covers rotary-wing squadron requirements, which are much more robust with advent of APKWS and FFFWS The numbers are rolled up the airwing level and NCEA is issued to the respective CVW NCEA account for allocation directly to individual squadrons

REPORTING

Data Management – SHARP Single data capture tool for squadron training Only data source to feed the DRRS-N T Pillar for squadrons and detachments Reports module provides current training status and analysis for readiness reporting

Data Management – ADW The Aviation Data Warehouse is the centralized data store for all SHARP data. ADW houses the metrics and algorithms used to calculate the Training Figure of Merit (TFOM) used in DRRS-N to describe the training capability of a Mission Essential Task (MET)

Two useful reports for assessing the T Pillar in DRRS-N SHARP - Reports Units should review the various SHARP reports when assessing training readiness in DRRS-N. These reports provide a comprehensive picture of the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM in DRRS-N. These reports also provide the basis for the CO to make comments in DRRS-N that explain which skills are required to achieve MCO readiness levels. Two useful reports for assessing the T Pillar in DRRS-N Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) Crew METs with Individual Skills Report

Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) SHARP - Reports Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) The CRA is submitted by the unit every 15 to update the T pillar in DRRS-N Even though the CRA displays the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM scores in DRRS-N, is only provides an explanation the Ef scores. HSM (CVW) Example

Crew METs with Individual Skills Report SHARP - Reports Crew METs with Individual Skills Report The Crew METs report explains the Pf side of the TFOM equation Since there is no Pf drill down data available in DRRS-N, this report provides an means to understand which skill sets are deficient for each NTA E-2C Example

T Pillar Metrics CNO/USFFC TYCOM Type Wing Metric/Process Owner OPNAVINST 3501.360 (DRRS-N) NRTP 1-03.5 (DRRS-N Manual) TFOM = Pf x Ef Pf = performance factor Ef = Experience factor TYCOM CNAP/CNAL 3500.38(DRRS-N Supp) CVN and T/M/S DRRS-N Guidance CNAP/CNAL 3500.1 (T&R Matrix) Determines T&R policy and format Contains T/M/S training matrices Pf = Number of Skilled Crews Number of Skilled Crews Required Ef = Number of SRS Items Completed Number of SRS Items Required FFC OPNAV define the PFOM equation. The TYCOM defines how P and E are calculated. The Type Wing determines how P and E are mapped. Pf = How skills are mapped in the IARS # of Skilled Crews required per NTA Type Wing Wing Training Manuals T&R matrix mapping for each TMS Ef = How SRS items are mapped to NTAs Which SRS Items are required

Number of Skilled Crews Attained Readiness Calculations – Performance Factor (Pf) Description Calculation Number of Skilled Crews Number of Required Skilled Crews Pf =100 x The Performance factor is calculated for units with six crews or more using the equation on the right Units with five crews or less use fixed numbers (see table below) Caveat: If Ef < 100, then Pf is held at 80. Required Skilled Crews Number of Skilled Crews Attained 1 2 3 4 5 100 50 33 66 25 75 20 40 60 80

Readiness Calculations – Experience Factor (Ef) Description Calculation The Experience factor is based on a unit’s ability to meet all the SRS requirements for each NTA as outlined in each T/M/S matrix Number of SRS Items Completed Number of SRS Items Required Ef = 100 x Reflects accomplishment of Aircrew and Squadron Qualifications Numeric Value between 0 – 100 The Ef value has two possible outcomes: If the unit completes all the SRS requirements, a maximum value of 100 is assigned If one or more of the required SRS items is not completed, a value less than 100 is assigned

T&R Calculations to DRRS-N TFOM = Pf x Ef Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculated in ADW and NTIMS The unit updates the T (Training) pillar in DRRS-N by submitting a Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) from SHARP CRAs are submitted every 15 days or when readiness changes occur 80-100 60-79 0 -59

Keys to Success Know your average flight hour funding for 90 days to know your expected level of readiness for the end of that period You have to fly to get readiness (a GOOD thing) Logging really matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs Management of the SHARP Program is critical Training Officer, AOPS T&R and syllabus both have to factor into how your write your flight schedule Understand your readiness expectations Know what your R+ months are throughout your FRTP cycle Use the SHARP CBR skills report to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N
