Air Education and Training Command is
integrating modern technology and innovative strategies in an effort
to transform how Remotely-Piloted Aircraft (RPA) pilots and sensor
operators are developed through the RPA Training Next initiative.
This effort moves the training to a competency-based concept where
RPA students undergo a tailor-made program based on their
capabilities and needs rather than an entire class following a rigid
construct and transitioning through the entire pipeline together.
