Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Training System Improvements: Funding provides for design, development, integration and test of various pre and post production platform improvements including Retrofit Integration Testing (RIT) for Naval Undergraduate Flight Training Systems which include T-45, T-6, T-44, TH-73A, T-54, and UJTS. 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 decrease aircraft availability by 2035.
Training System Improvements: Efforts under this category are expected to be limited to those efforts meeting thresholds under the abbreviated acquisition category. Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS): The UJTS program recapitalizes the Navy's intermediate and advanced jet training capabilities for CNATRA. The program will include aircraft, ground-based training systems, curricula, and associated equipment. Introduction of UJTS will provide higher availability, meet future strike training requirements, and provide a platform that aligns with strike aircraft the graduates will operate in the Fleet.
