Reiser Simulation and Training GmbH and Royal NLR – Netherlands Aerospace Centre today announced a strategic partnership to deliver high-fidelity H225M Caracal helicopter tactical training devices to the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF), with Reiser serving as the prime contractor. This collaboration brings together Reiser’s proven track record in building next-generation helicopter training devices and NLR’s expertise in advanced mission simulation technologies.

“If aviation is to function properly, both the civil and the military sides, it’s important that planes and helicopters are available enough of the time. If aircraft break down or if components can’t be delivered, it reduces the availability figure. In this programme, we investigate how that availability can be improved, for instance using new technologies.”

Each part task and whole task that is defined in the blueprint of the training needs to be analysed via the BLE method (blended learning) designed by NLR. Also, requirements emerging from the training concept need to be taken into account (e.g. data gathering requirement for performance based training or interconnectivity requirements for a live virtual constructive environment). The principle of the BLE method is a questionnaire that defines the minimum user requirements of the media for each training element (e.g. whole task, part task, supporting theory). Those user requirements guide the selection or development of the training media.

The Training Needs Analysis is the beginning of a training design process. It provides insights into the trainees, their starting point and the intended end goal. NLR uses a competency based training approach to ensure the professional is prepared for a multitude of nominal and adverse situations. A competency contains skills, knowledge and attitudes that are necessary to exercise one’s profession in the operational context.
