Overview • Personal Progression Toward/Thru MBES • MBES in the Canadian Navy • Navy MBES Training Challenges • Beyond The Navy

MBES In The RCN • Two “hydrographers” in RCN • MBES Used to Complete the Route Survey Picture a.k.a Mine Warfare Pilot
Training Issues - Background • Route Survey Officers are UNB Trained • RSO’s represent the only MBES “Core Competency” within the RCN • RS Staff consist of Radar Plotters and Sonarmen
Training Issues • RCN Training Establishment is void of any hydrographic expertise • Training is Outsourced: • Factory • “After Market” Training courses
Training Issues • Priority of Training within Budget Planning • Personally guilty • Personnel Rotation • Guesses affect who goes on course • Sometimes guess is wrong – frustration ensues • New personnel may have no aptitude
Training Issues - Example • RS Office West 2005 • RSO is only 10 months in job • Losing ALL staff this year due to rotations • Incoming are entirely untrained • Incoming RSPO is technology challenged
Solution For Success • Pipe Dreams: • Recognize and train specialists • Stop rotating trained personnel out of field • Put training at higher priority in budget i.e. recognize cost of being untrained • Either create core competency in training establishments or • Find cost effective solutions for many different factory courses
MosaicHydro • People: • Mike Brissette • Doug Cartwright • Services: • Factory Field Service • Dedicated Training • Survey Support
