Training Aircraft Updates
Abstract
Training System Improvements: Funding provides for design, development, integration and test of various pre and post production platform improvements for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems which include T-45, T-6, T-44, TH-57, TH-73A, T-44 Follow-On: Multi-Engine Training System (METS), and T-45 Follow-On: Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS). 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 Follow-On: Multi-Engine Training System (METS): 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 50%, 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. T-45 Follow-On: Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS): The T-45 Training System consists of the T-45C aircraft, ground based training devices, curricula, and associated equipment. The T-45 is facing significant aircraft, engine, and component obsolescence issues. These issues are projected to dramatically increase operating costs and aircraft availability by 2030. This research and development effort will investigate alternatives for replacing the T-45 training system and develop and validate the acquisition strategy for the procurement of a new Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS). The T-45 Follow-On: UJTS will ensure training commands 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.
