T-38C Terminal Avionics Replacement Program (TARP)
Abstract
TARP develops replacements for four T-38C avionics components facing obsolescence. TARP includes, but is not limited to Electronic Engine Display (EED) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) (T-38C Displays) and Video Data Transfer Unit (VDTU) and Heads-Up Display Camera (HUDC) (T-38C Recording Devices). Compact Flash Cards that record flight data are no longer procurable. Inventory depleted in FY 2024. Without a functioning VDTU, the T-38C will be unsuitable for training purposes, with no ability to record flight data. The current HUDC will no longer function after the repair contract expires in Mar 2026. The HUDC is essential to the T-38C training mission, as a critical tool for student/instructor feedback.
