Advanced Trainer Replacement T-X
Abstract
The Advanced Pilot Training (APT) program will replace the Air Education Training Command's (AETC) aging T-38C fleet with new aircraft, Ground Based Training System (simulators, training devices, computer based training systems, academics, etc.), Maintenance Training System, and support infrastructure currently used in the fighter/bomber advanced Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training track as well as in the Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals program. The APT program acquisition strategy was approved by OSD (AT&L) in early FY 2017 (December 2016). At the same time, the APT Team completed their Development Request for Proposal (RFP) Release Defense Acquisition Board and subsequently released the RFP to industry on 30 December 2016. The Program completed source selection evaluations and Milestone B in September 2018 and awarded a Fixed Price Incentive Firm (FPIF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to The Boeing Company on 27 September 2018. Funding contained in this platform's documentation directly aids AETC flying training enterprise to continue its overall Future Years Defense Program pilot production increase starting in FY 2020, thus reducing the USAF Pilot Shortage. 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 Advanced Pilot Training system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2021 $1.068 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 $1.567 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
