Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training

Abstract

Totals include funding for PRCP program number 560, JPATS. JPATS Prior Years funding estimate is $271.9M. To Complete estimate is $8.8M. Prior Years and To Complete funding estimates are for the MDAP program and may differ from weapon system funding totals. Supports Air Education and Training Command's (AETC) implementation of Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT) and the Department of Defense initiative for joint pilot training. The Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) is a joint USAF/USN venture to replace the Services' fleets of primary trainer aircraft (T-37 and T-34 respectively) and their associated Ground Based Training Systems (GBTS) with the T-6 and its GBTS. The Air Force is the Executive Service. The T-38 AUP is an integrated modernization of the T-38A and AT-38B cockpits to support mission ready fighter and bomber training. The Advanced Trainer Replacement (T-X) program is a replacement for the T-38 trainer aircraft used in the advanced fighter/bomber SUPT track. Provides for development and test of upgrades and enhancements to aircraft and the Ground Based Training System (GBTS) hardware and software components. Provides for studies and development of the next generation of advanced fighter/bomber pilot trainer aircraft and GBTS. The program funding includes reductions for overhead reduction efficiencies that are not intended to impact program content. The efficiencies reductions total $0.077M in FY12. This program element is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it primarily involves the missionization of commercial derivative aircraft, equipment, and components.
