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. Undergraduate Remotely Piloted Aircraft Training supports Air Education and Training Command's (AETC) implementation of Undergraduate Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Training (URT). This program provides and maintains the currency of Predator Reaper Integrated Mission Environment (PRIME) Desktop Training System (DTS). 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. T-6 Operational System Development continues follow on development activities to JPATS including studies & development efforts to support future ACAT III Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to the T-6 Aircraft, instructional courseware, and logistics support to include Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) and development activities related to DMSMS. Included is development for the FAA mandated ACAT III program for ADS-B Out and associated upgrades. T-38 program will continue development in FY2017 of a replacement Mission Display Processor (MDP), refurbishment of the existing Heads-Up Display (HUD), development and integration of an Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) solution as well as replacement of the Very High Frequency (VHF) Communication radio system and the VHF Navigation system. System testing is projected to begin in FY2017 and production and deployment of the replacement the systems will begin in late FY2017 and continue through FY2021. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
