Training Needs Analysis
The team’s projects include their most recent task of conducting a detailed and comprehensive pilot and maintenance Training Needs Analysis for a foreign air force. This is our core expertise.
GBA analyzed the current training environment and developed detailed requirements for a state-of-the-art pilot training system.

The result was an optimum four-phased advanced flight training program tailored to meet combat readiness objectives.
The GBA team focus was a to conduct a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis for a primary and advanced military aviation training system designed to meet the needs for a tailored process that best fit the client’s current and emerging defense environment, culture and strategic objectives. Some of the key modules are:
• Pilot candidate screening process (academic, physical and pilot potential)
• Academic training
Primary and Advanced Flight training programs
• Cutting-edge integrated ground based training systems and training devices
• Training airspace, range and facilities requirements

Network Centric Analysis
GBA devised and executed multiple business and technical strategies as well as tactical events to stand up the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium ™ (NCOIC). GBA brought its team’s diverse skills together during this 20 month engagement to create an environment where the 16 founding member companies have matured today to more than 100 global leaders in aerospace, defense, communications, governments agencies, information technology, and academia. GBA’s key role was captured in the following note:
“We are all grateful to you (GBA) for your immense contribution to this fledgling enterprise. Your presence in the early months of the effort to get it all going has been invaluable to me and all the other founding members of the (Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium™ - NCOIC) Consortium.”

Global Information Grid
GBA professionals assessed the market to identify potential “white spaces” or market areas that possess enduring unmet needs or market opportunities for Fortune 50 companies. The focus was on US Department of Defense and Homeland Security, and has expanded into a number of global efforts. One project leveraged the concept of the “power of the network,” particularly the DoD Global Information Grid concept. The resulting objective of this successful engagement provided insights into the enduring requirements for capabilities needed by any enterprise operating successfully in a network-enabled, information-rich environment into the 10 – 20 year future warfighter environment.
