TH-57 Follow-On Training System

Abstract

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 specifically includes market research, requirements development, evaluation of acquisition strategies, evaluation of proposals, and testing of prototypes.
