Chief of Naval Air Training Resource Planning System (RPS).

Abstract : The Resource Planning System (RPS) provides the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) with the capability to determine the resources required to produce a specified number of Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers (NAs/ NFOs) quickly and efficiently. The system is based upon a technique in which the desired output of NA/NFOs is given as the independent variable. Then utilizing a predetermined training time and attrition rate, the system determines the number of students that must enter the pipeline and the number of support personnel, instructors, and aircraft required to meet the training objectives.
