## What project 3367 buys

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. This research and development effort include the engineering and manufacturing development of the UJTS system of systems, to include aircraft, Ground Based Training Systems (GBTS) and curriculum. 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 development of solicitation package materials, evaluation of proposals, and development and testing of new aircraft, Ground Based Training System, and equipment prototypes. T-6B Avionics Modernization: Funding provided for the research and development for T-6B avionics system upgrades required to meet future Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) operational requirements by mitigating issues associated with obsolescence, safety, and operational limitations.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation; Management Services.
