Technology Enhanced Workforce Development
Military maintainers are constantly faced with the challenge of learning how to maintain new or different equipment, while also continuing to perform their daily support missions. Conventional methods such as training courses and on-the-job training help build proficiency, but more efficient and modern training tools are also needed. Numerous new technologies exist today that can create more realistic, more expedient, and more efficient training for the military maintainer. Examples include on-line libraries of maintenance training videos. Point of View (POV) cameras such as GoPros can be used to record training events, upload the information to a secure cloud platform, and then shared across the DoD maintenance enterprise, providing our maintainers quality first-person training when and where they need it. Another technology on the market is augmented or mixed reality technologies available in head mountable hands-free devices or in tablets. These devices display digital data such as technical manuals and checklists, but also display videos and can be used to access the Internet. These devices could be used to identify parts or even communicate with a subject matter expert for assistance. This technology is currently being explored by manufacturers and developers. This forum includes presentations on several of these technologies and their potential application in the workforce development of DoD maintainers. Additionally, the forum will include a presentation which discusses the comparison of virtual reality technologies and some key considerations in using these technologies for workforce training and development. Please join us and participate in the exchange of information and ideas.
