An on-line course entitled “Air Freight Web-based Training Lesson,” which trains students in aerial port air freight operations, has won a Gold Award in the 2006 Brandon Hall Excellence in E-Learning Awards competition in Denver, Colo. The Air Mobility Warfare Center’s Mobility Operations School at Ft. Dix, N.J., designed it in partnership with online contractor TraCorp Inc. It’s designed for use with personal data assistants (PDAs) to help deployed transportation airmen maintain their training requirements—and ultimately to enable them to complete college-level courses, as well.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
