Training Aircraft Updates
Abstract
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. This effort includes, but is not limited to, market research, requirements development, evaluation of acquisition strategies, evaluation of proposals, and testing of prototypes. 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. T-45 and T-6 Physiological Episode (PE) Mitigation: Efforts will provide for studies and development efforts to address mitigation of the T-45 and T-6 physiological episodes. T-44 Multi-Engine Follow-On Training System: The T-44 Training Systems consists of the (Qty 54) T-44C aircraft, and associated family of ground based training devices. The T-44 was fielded in 1978 as the only Navy/Marine Corps Multi-Engine trainer, as the only transitional platform from single engine to multi-engine Transport and Maritime fleet aircraft. The aging platform has become less cost effective to maintain annually, than the aircraft is worth, as it has surpassed its fatigue life by 300%, as well as experiencing obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing resources and material shortages, and training capability gaps (as identified in the Capabilities based assessment Naval Undergraduate Flight Training). This effort supports development of alternatives/efforts for replacing the T-44 Multi-Engine replacement training system and development and validation of the acquisition strategy for future procurement of the capability to continue to provide the fleet replacement squadrons with qualified and capable Naval Aviators. This effort includes, but is not limited to, market research, requirements development, evaluation of acquisition strategies, evaluation of proposals, and testing of prototypes.
