Requirement:
As part of a major expansion and modernisation programme to provide a nationally recognised training facility, delivering the current training outputs plus an increased range of new capability technical courses, a high valued Middle East customer required a robust training solution for Battlespace Spectrum Management (BSM). This would enable them to achieve the management of spectrum resources for an ever-growing telecommunications capability Kingdom-wide.
Approach:
Mercury conducted an auditable, and Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) compliant, Training Needs Analysis (TNA) to meet the customer’s new BSM role requirements through in-country visits, liaison and Project Steering Group activities. Utilising the deliverables and recommendations from the TNA, the customer requested that Mercury conduct Design, Development and Training Delivery activities for 2 BSM course types; BSM Overview and BSM Fundamentals; inclusive of all supporting DSAT documentation. A blended learning approach was adopted in-line with the TNA ‘Methods and Media analysis’ to include student centric e-learning media, instructor-led media and discussion group activities. Mercury provided close liaison and subject matter expert support to a contracted e-learning media company to assure content accuracy and relevance throughout.
Outcome:
Production of fully auditable, DSAT compliant training solutions were delivered and accepted for BSM and training delivery activities have already been successfully conducted within the customer’s training facilities.
