Aviation Resource Training System (ARTS) is a joint service (Army, Navy and Air Force) training and resource management system.

The United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence uses ARTS for class scheduling, training management, and tracking of Aviation courses programmed each fiscal year through the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS).

Users of the Centralized Aviation Flight Records System (CAFRS) and Digital Training Management System (DTMS) employ ARTS for flight data comparison and feeder information for input into these systems.

Aviation Center personnel use ARTS to administer the day-to-day training in order to provide users a common operational picture (COP).

Flight training is conducted in the following airframes: AH-64, Attack Helicopter; CH-47, Cargo Helicopter; C-12 Fixed Wing; and UH-60 and UH-72, Utility Helicopters.

ARTS provides users with approximately 100+ reports from student schedules, classroom utilization, number and type of students awaiting training to number of aircraft flown per training day.

What analysis/efficiencies are we looking for?

U.S. ARMY

“FLY ARMY”

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

Expected Analysis

• Feedback on contract types (firm fixed, award term, Length etc.)

• Preferred Costing (per student, bands of student #s, etc.)

• GOCO vs COCO

• Aircraft type

• Maintenance plan

• Simulation requirements and solutions

• Instructor Pilots

• Academic instructors

• Parts/supply plan

• Class Size

• Operator manuals and checklists to US Army Standards and common terminology

• Phased approach plan based on capability (timeline) length

• What other office/building space is required

• Integrating IT into the garrison network

• Classroom upgrades

• Tech Library Integration

• Innovative ideas for efficiency and value to the government

Examples of Efficiencies

• All Academic Classes currently are taught in person

• Cockpit Procedure Trainers that also can train Basic Instruments

• Better utilization of personnel

• Proficiency based training

• Varying Class sizes based on aircraft availability

• Flight time per student based not on a daily requirement but on the capability of the student or available aircraft time

• Technology that tracks and guides student progress

• Automated fuel payment

• Virtual Instructor Pilot for sims

• Better adjustment to historical weather patterns and daylight hour changes

• Better use of aircraft down times for maintenance

• Build-up of student pilot flying tolerance over time

• Issuance of all flight regulations necessary in a web or cloud-based format

• Virtual instruction for concepts or subjects students struggle with

• Efficiency in the way aircraft are utilized and issued
