Copernicus Technology delivers Training Management System to RAF Poseidon Fleet

Copernicus Technology RAF P8A Training Management System deliveryCopernicus Technology Ltd, via a contract with Defence Equipment & Support at the MOD, has successfully delivered a ground-breaking Training Management System - the Aquila Learning and Risk Management System (ALaRMS) - to support the Poseidon MRA Mk1 at RAF Lossiemouth. 

ALaRMS, which is provided by Aquila Learning Ltd, enables organisations to analyse, design, deliver, and assure complex training programmes for high-risk occupations such as those in aviation.

The Poseidon Course Design Team of 54 Squadron can now progress a number of training streams that will ensure all aircrew, maintenance and mission support staff are effectively prepared as the Poseidon aircraft arrives in the UK in early 2020 and accelerates towards Full Operating Capability in 2024. Squadron Leader Rich Jones said:

“Having an application that was specifically built to manage and assure aviation training end to end is hugely beneficial. We can achieve so much more in a short amount of time, knowing that the training we produce is compliant with military training principles such as the Defence Systems Approach to Training (DSAT) and is fully optimised”.

Roo Hornby, the Copernicus Technology’s MPA/ISR Division Director, said “We have really enjoyed working with Aquila Learning in delivering ALaRMS for the Poseidon.  It is a very strong and innovative training management product for many other areas of the RAF, Defence and beyond”.

Mark Radbourne from Aquila Learning said “We are delighted to see ALaRMS, which adheres to DSAT requirements, being used exactly where it adds most value; right here on a flagship military programme such as the P-8A.  ALaRMS really is a game changer in training management and assurance, allowing for incredibly complex training systems to be managed and assured safely, effectively and efficiently”.
