MPT APPLICATIONS
ORDB relates many dispersed sets of data into a consolidated,
rapidly accessible data base. Instead of the normal laborious and
time-consuming task of finding background information by formal
requests to computer data bases, searching Air Force regulations,
or searching a library of technical reports and previous studies,
the ORDB allows users to streamline data retrieval while saving
computer resources. ORDB is valuable for aiding research design,
conducting historical and cross-specialty analyses, and guarding
against duplication of effort and inconsistencies between data
bases. ORDB access facilitates planning and analysis support of
MPT requirements earlier in the weapon system acquisition process.
The WSIS is proving to be helpful to MPT planners and analysts
requiring occupational information by AFSC or total weapon system.
Researchers within AFHRL are primary users of the ORDB. A
recent example of the ORDB's many uses was a CODAP retrieval of all
duty descriptions for certain AFSCs. These descriptions were then
used in the development of a taxonomy determining skill knowledge
and ability to be used in weapon system acquisition to determine
MPT requirements. The ORDB has been identified as a key component
of several high-priority AFHRL research projects. Some of these
are the Training Decisions System (TDS), the Advanced On-the-Job
Training System (AOTS), Job Performance Measurement, and the Basic
Job Skills Project. The advanced On-the-Job Training System (AOTS)
program used the ORDB CODAP subsystem for their initial research.
Future use of the ORDB to support the program at the base level,
called the Base Training System (BTS), is presently being
Considered. The proposed portable WORM drive ORDB would enable
more People to use the ORDB.
The ORDB is a critical resource to projects underway as part
of the MPT Integration effort. Work at ASD/ALH, the Air Force MPT
Directorate, Continues to require use of the ORDB. DOD directive
