Space training and education for USN cryptologic officers - the road to space certification

Abstract

This thesis discusses the importance of space-related education and training for Naval cryptologic officers in their efforts to support the warfighter. It includes a discussion of the learning continuum concept, an outline of cryptologic officerαs career milestones for space-related training, and a discussion of the Navyαs Distributed Learning initiatives. This thesis provides a framework for the establishment of a Space Certification Program for Naval cryptologists. The proposed Space Certification model was designed to allow expansion of the program to include Naval officers in other communities.
