Description

The BSTAR program is designed to enhance the proficiency of bomber aircrew by integrating innovative training solutions, implementing comprehensive training curricula, and addressing unique operational challenges within the B-1 bomber community. It is intended to enhance and sustain foundational airmanship, instrument proficiency, and crew coordination skills outside the primary Mission Design Series (MDS), using a high-tempo, low-cost supplemental trainer. Performance data, training outcomes, and airmanship development trends from this effort will inform decisions regarding sustainment, scaling, and potential enterprise implementation of a steady-state BSTAR Companion Trainer Program. This initiative aligns with USAF strategic objectives to improve B-1 aircrew operational efficiency across its bomber fleet. This program will aim to aid the B-1 aviators through supplemental training throughout the aircrew members’ careers within AFGSC.
