Specialized Undergraduate Flight Training

Abstract

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 Avionics Upgrade Program (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, will replace AETC's T-38C aircraft and associated GBTS currently used in the fighter/bomber advanced SUPT track as well as in the Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) program. The T-38 was first introduced in 1961. BA5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production. The Air Force recognizes that these funds should be in BA 7 and is working to transfer these funds in the next President's Budget submission.
