Specialized Undergraduate Flight Training
Abstract
Supports Air Education and Training Command's (AETC) implementation of Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training and the Department of Defense initiative for joint pilot training. Undergraduate Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Training (URT) continues development, test, and implementation activities for the new URT Fundamentals Training System. This program produces RPA pilots and Sensor Operators from accession sources to man RPA squadrons. T-6 Operational System Development continues follow on development activities to the T-6 including but not limited to studies & development efforts, instructional courseware, and logistics support to include Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages (DMSMS) and development activities related to DMSMS. Included is development for the Next Generation On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS), Crash Survivable Recorder (CSR), Avionics Replacement Program (ARP) and associated upgrades. There are currently 443 aircraft in the Air Force inventory. Remaining service life is up to 39 years from the final delivery in May 2010. The T-38 is a twin-engine, two-seat (tandem), supersonic jet trainer. The T-38C is used by AETC as an advanced trainer in Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals, and by Air Force Materiel Command as a test bed for fighter-type aircraft capability. T-38A/B aircraft are used by Air Combat Command as a companion trainer for U-2 operational units and in Adversary Air (ADAIR) exercises supporting F-22 readiness, and by Air Force Global Strike Command as a companion trainer for B-2 operational units. There are currently 496 active T-38s in the Air Force inventory (53 T-38A, six AT-38B and 437 T-38C). T-38s first entered service in 1960 and average over 50 years old. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22 0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2023 1.166 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
