1 SCOPE 174

This System Specification (SS), including appendices, establishes the performance requirements 175 for the United States Air Force (USAF) Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Ground Based Training 176

System (GBTS) Component of the APT program. 177

1.1 IDENTIFICATION 178

This SS is for the Ground Based Training System Configuration Items currently identified in 179

APT Program Statement of Work (SOW), Annex H. 180

1.2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 181

The APT program will replace the T-38C used in the USAF’s Specialized Undergraduate Pilot 182

Training (SUPT) advanced phase fighter/bomber track, and in the Introduction to Fighter 183

Fundamentals (IFF) course. The APT program will provide student pilots with the foundational 184 flying skills and core competencies required to transition into current generation Fighters and 185

Bomber Aircraft. 186

The APT GBTS components are broken into three categories; Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs), 187

Ground Training Devices (GTDs), and Maintenance Training Devices (MTDs). This system 188 specification only addresses the first two categories of the GBTS components. 189

1.3 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW 190

The performance and verification requirements for the GBTS are documented in Sections 3 and 191

4, respectively, of this SS. (Note the performance and verification requirements for the aircraft 192 are documented in a separate SS.) This SS captures and conveys the threshold requirements for 193 the GBTS. (Note that the requirements designated as “trade space” identify threshold and 194 objective requirements to be traded as part of the proposed solution definition. Objective 195 requirements are identified in Appendix G.) This SS is developed using guidance from DID DI-196

IPSC-81431A, System/Subsystem Specification Data Item Description (DID) and MIL-STD-197

961E, Department of Defense (DoD) Standard Practice for Defense Specifications. In addition 198 to the five (5) major sections of the SS, additional appendices are included as necessary to 199 further define the requirements of the GBTS. 200
