Training System Aircraft

Abstract

This program element provides for design, development, integration and test of various pre and post production platform improvements for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems which include T-45, T-6, T-44, TH-57, TH-73A, T-44 Follow-On: Multi-Engine Training System (METS), and T-45 Follow-On (Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS)/Tactical Surrogate). Continued development engineering for improvements in reliability, maintainability, and safety 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: T-45, T-6, TH-57, T-44, and TH-73A Training System Improvements such as development and sustainment engineering change proposals (ECPs), avionics reliability and modernization, corrosion prevention ECPs, obsolescence ECPs, and new solutions required to meet evolving fleet training requirements; T-45 and T-6 Physiological Episode (PE) mitigation analysis; T-44 Follow-On: METS development; and T-45 Follow-On (UJTS/Tactical Surrogate) development. 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.
