Maintenance Technicians and the reliability of the Air Traffic Control 
system operations within the Department of the Army. CAFRS is a 
decision support system for automated mission planning, risk assessment 
and risk mitigation that supports Mission Command functions within 
Aviation units. CAFRS supports the Aviation Commander's decision making 
process required to complete the Aviation Risk Assessment Worksheet 
(RAW) that provides the assessment tools to match personnel 
qualifications, operations tempo to aircraft type, and mission needs. 
The CAFRS application, a sub-system of the Aviation Mission Planning 
System (AMPS), provides aircrew member flight hours, aircraft currency, 
qualification and training history in order to accomplish effective 
risk assessment/risk mitigation throughout the Aviation Mission 
Planning Process.

information manages qualification and training records for aviation 
personnel. The system provides the Army's senior level leadership 
visibility over aviation flight operations information to assist in 
resource, readiness, and personnel management decision-making.
