T-6 Avionics Modernization [Avionics Replacement Program (ARP)]
Abstract
This is a New Start. T-6A Avionics Replacement Program (ARP). Current T-6A avionics are comprised of analog and 1st generation digital components which are increasingly by DMSMS resulting in reduced Aircraft Availability (AA) and increased life-cycle sustainment costs. The current federated nature of the avionics suite compounds engineering and integration costs of replacement components. No less than 23 components impacts by DMSMS will be replaced by the Avionics Replacement Program (ARP) to improve reliability, availability and reduce system sustainment costs, via a modern, integrated, open-system avionics suite. The ARP will address DMSMS issues, current T-6A FAA compliance issues and fulfill outstanding safety recommendations. The solution will be incorporated into all 442 AETC aircraft and 80 Ground Based Trainers.
