India Defence Online, New Delhi — An agreement was signed between the Indian Air Force and the Defence Research and Development Organisation for a series production of Computerised Pilot Selection System (CPSS) in New Delhi, today.
The system has been developed for the selection of pilots for the state-of-the-art modern aircraft of the IAF. It has been developed by the Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR), Delhi, a premier institute of DRDO in collaboration with the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), Bangalore.
The CPSS is a state-of-the-art embedded micro controller based pilot selection system, with built in security features that comprehensively evaluates the qualities required by the pilots including cognitive psychomotor skills.
The system captures accurate, reliable and high-speed data relating to the skills of “a candidate” appearing for pilot selection. It has been designed with built-in diagnostic facilities for ease of maintenance. The tests comprehensively evaluate the qualities required for the military pilot such as psychomotor skills, information processing skills (speed and accuracy), coordination, visualisation, time-sharing, etc. by subjecting the candidate to perform concurrent multiple tasks.
The hardware for the system has been developed by ADE and the “Software” for cognitive and psychomotor tests by DIPR and the trial runs for the same were facilitated by the IAF.
The agreement was signed by Air Cmde SBP Sinha, Principal Director (Acq), Air HQ on behalf of the Indian Air Force and Dr. Manas K Mandal, Director, DIPR on behalf of the DRDO.
