Training Aircraft Updates
Abstract
The T-45 Training System (TS) Required Avionics Sustainment Program (RASP) Phase I ADS-B Out: In order for the T-45TS to continue to have unrestricted access to the NAS through its projected end of service life, 2035, and avoid impacts to Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) Strike Pilot and Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training, the T-45TS must develop, test and integrate the RASP Phase I ADS-B Out capability. This research and development effort consists of the minimum required capability increase necessary to enable ADS-B Out in the T-45, equipping 197 aircraft and 18 simulators to meet the January 1, 2020 FAA ADS-B Out mandate. Specifically, this includes the development, integration, test and certification of the replacement for the APX-100 Transponder (with associated control panel, personality module, compliant navigation source and data bus connectivity), the replacement of the Air Data Computer (ADC), and the integration of these components with the existing aircraft antennas and Mission Display Processor (MDP) Operational Flight Program (OFP) software. The T-6 Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) Communication and Navigation System/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM): JPATS is a joint United States Navy (USN)/United States Air Force (USAF) Acquisition Program designed to replace the aging primary aircraft (T-34/T-37) fleet. Principle JPATS mission is primary training for entry-level Navy/Air Force student pilots, associated instructor pilots, and primary/intermediate training for USN Naval Flight Officers (NFO). JPATS includes the T-6 Texan II, which is a stepped tandem seat, commercially derived aircraft powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A-68 turboprop engine. It serves as the aircraft component of the JPATS integrated primary pilot training system. In order for the T-6 A&B training aircraft to continue to have unrestricted access to the national air space through its projected end of service life and avoid impacts to CNATRA primary entry-level student pilots and NFO training, the T-6 program must develop, integrate, test and certify ADS-B Out capability for both the A&B models. This effort will consist of the minimum required capability increase necessary for ADS-B Out, enabling 295 aircraft and 34 simulators to meet the January 1, 2020 FAA mandate. This effort includes, but is not limited to, development, integration, test and certification. The TH-57 Follow-On Training System: The TH-57 Training System consists of TH-57B aircraft, TH-57C aircraft, and associated family of ground based training devices. The TH-57 Training System is experiencing obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, training capability gaps (as identified in the Capabilities based assessment Naval Aviation Undergraduate Flight Training), and increasingly expensive operating costs related to aging aircraft issues. This research and development effort will investigate alternatives for replacing the TH-57 training system and develop and validate the acquisition strategy for future procurement of the capability to continue to provide the fleet replacement squadrons with qualified and capable rotary-wing naval aviators to train on fleet platforms. This effort includes, but is not limited to, market research, requirements development, evaluation of acquisition strategies, evaluation of proposals, and testing of prototypes which are technically mature and ready for evaluation in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase. Training System Improvements: Efforts will provide for studies and analysis, design, development, integration and test of pre-production platform improvements for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems, which will conduct engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production decisions. Flight Management System: Efforts will provide for studies, design review and development for platform improvements for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems for Flight Management System. T-45 Physiological Episode (PE) Mitigation: Efforts will provide for studies and development efforts to address mitigation of the T-45 physiological episodes.
