Training System Aircraft

Abstract

This program element provides for design, development, integration and test of various pre-production platform improvements for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems which include T-45, T-6, TH-57, T-44, Advanced Helicopter Training System, and Multi-Engine Advanced Trainer aircraft. Continued development engineering for improvements in reliability, maintainability, safety and meeting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) flight safety requirements are required to ensure maximum benefit is achieved to provide effective cost of ownership and availability of aircraft to meet Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) student training requirements. Specific efforts include: TH-57 Follow-On Training System; T-45, T-6, TH-57 and T-44 Training System Improvements, and T-45 and T-6 Physiological Episode (PE) mitigation analysis. This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production decision.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2020
• Source ID: 0603208N_5_1319_PB_2020
• Change Summary Explanation: The FY 2020 funding request was reduced by $0.210 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: TH-57 Follow-On Training System funding is increased in support of Advanced Helicopter Training System (AHTS) program start and award of TH-XX contract. T-45 Required Avionics Sustainment program (RASP) FY2020 funding request was reduced due to RASP program transitioning efforts to retrofit ADS-B Out capability into aircraft. Training System Improvements funding for T-6 Crash Survivable Cockpit Voice Recorder (CSCVR), T-6 Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Avoidance, T-45 Digital Inline Timer development, T-45 Next Generation Strike Aircraft Analysis of Alternatives(AoA) and T-44 Fatigue Life Extension Study. T-6B Flight Management System removed from budget to reflect program cancellation (FY19-FY20). Schedule: T-6B Flight Management System schedule removed from budget to reflect program cancellation (FY19-FY20). T-6 Joint Study Efforts extended from 4Q20 to 4Q21 in support of continued studies with the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) program office. Naval Aviation Physiological Episode schedule was changed to reflect program execution based on dynamic requirements. Changes included the removal of T-45 Physiological Episode Root Cause Analytic Project, Real-Time Air Quality Test Sensor Study extended to 4Q21 due to ongoing Physiological Episode mitigation studies, as well as adding T-6B PE support. Training System Improvement schedule was changed to include T-6 CSCVR, T-6 CFIT Avoidance, T-45 Digital Inline Timer development, T-45 Next Generation Strike Aircraft (AoA) and T-44 Fatigue Life Extension Study. T-45 RASP Test asset deliveries delayed from 4Q18 to 3Q19 due to delays from contractor.
