Training System Aircraft

Abstract

The T-45 Training System (TS) Required Avionics Sustainment Program (RASP) Increment (Inc) I (ADS-B Out): In order for the T-45TS to continue to have unrestricted access to the NAS through its projected end of service life, 2035, and avoid impacts to CNATRA (Commander Naval Aviation Training) Strike Pilot and Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training, the T-45TS must develop, test, and integrate the RASP Inc I ADS-B Out capability. This research and development effort will be an ACAT III program and consists of the minimum required capability increase necessary for ADS-B Out, enabling 190 aircraft and 18 simulators to meet the January 1st, 2020 FAA ADS-B Out mandate. Specifically, this includes the development, integration, test and certification of an upgrade or replacement of the Global Position System/Inertial Navigation Assembly (GINA), the replacement of the APX-100 Transponder with associated data bus connectivity, antennas, and an updated Mission Display Processor Operational Flight Program (MDP/OFP), simulators and support equipment. The T-6 Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) Communication and Navigation System/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM): JPATS is a joint United States Navy (USN)/United States Air Force (USAF) Acquisition Program designed to replace the aging primary aircraft (T-34/T-37) fleet. Principle JPATS mission is primary training for entry-level Navy/Air Force student pilots, associated instructor pilots, and primary/intermediate training for USN NFOs. JPATS includes the T-6 Texan II which is a stepped tandem seat, commercially derived aircraft powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A-68 turboprop engine. It serves as the aircraft component of the JPATS integrated primary pilot training system which replaces the T-34C primary training aircraft. ADS-B Out capability will be developed, tested, and integrated into the T-6 fleet to meet the FAA January 1st, 2020 requirement to fly in NAS.
