1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The following Performance Work Statement (PWS) provides a description of the required contractor services in support of the T-38 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), T-38 System Program Office (SPO), Air Education and Training Command (AETC), and other commands.

This contractual effort is limited to Phase X of the T-38 Individual Aircraft Tracking (IAT) and Loads/Environment Spectra Survey (L/ESS) program. The required engineering efforts are binding towards meeting the Phase X requirements. Additional follow-on efforts are merely mentioned to depict the T-38 SPO and ASIP Manager’s overall program scheme and to ensure current efforts are considered by the contractor to facilitate integration towards required follow-on efforts and options.

Phase X, in and of itself, is of value to the T-38 ASIP’s IAT program for the purpose of continual improvement of the overall T-38 sustainment efforts, regardless of whatever future efforts are accomplished.

1.1 Scope

This PWS specifies the Phase X tasks towards sustaining and improving the T-38’s IAT and L/ESS programs. The T-38 IATP and L/ESS revitalization and sustainment effort – including the earlier FLDR activities - is a continuation of a multi-phased approach as follows:

• Phase I (FY 04) – T-38C FLDR at Moody AFB and Preliminary T-38 IATP and L/ESS Evaluation

• Phase II (FY 05) – T-38C FLDR and Preliminary T-38 IATP and L/ESS Development

• Phase III (FY 06) – T-38C FLDR and T-38 IATP and L/ESS Implementation and Final

Development Reporting

• Phase IV (FY 07) - T-38C FLDR Program at Four AETC Bases with Continued IATP and L/ESS Development and Implementation

• Phase V and Va (FY 08-10) - T-38C FLDR Program at Four AETC Bases with

Continued IATP and L/ESS Development and Implementation

• Phase VII (FY 11 and FY 12) - Final T-38C FLDR Program at Four AETC Bases with

Continued IATP and L/ESS Development and Implementation

• Phase X (FY 13) - Continued T-38 IATP and L/ESS Development and Implementation

Note: Phases VI, VIII, and IX are by other contractors, so are not included in the previous list.

4 GENERAL INFORMATION

4.1 General Requirements

General requirements for the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) are given in Air Force Instruction 63-1001 and Air Force Policy Directive 63-10 (see Ref. 1 and 2, Attachment One). In addition, ASIP is detailed in Mil-STD-1530C (see Ref. 3, Attachment One).

4.2 Technical Objectives and Goals

The T-38 “Talon” has recently completed significant avionics modifications and is currently undergoing engine upgrades, with the intention of modernizing the fleet of over 450 AETC aircraft. The T-38A and A/T-38B models have been upgraded with the T-38C avionics; the AETC fleet will be fully positioned to train the pilots of the future (e.g. those flying the F-16 and F-22). As the T-38 fleet is now scheduled to fly to 2029, and possibly beyond, the T-38 ASIP needs to adapt to the changes in the aircraft, and collect the required flight loads data to ensure structural integrity. Following the NGC Phase VII efforts (FY 11 and FY 12), the T-38 ASIP still

4 T-38 IATP and L/ESS – Phase X needs to continue developing the long-term solution for the T-38 IATP and L/ESS. As such, both the IATP and L/ESS data collection and evaluation are ASIP requirements to be updated and supported, formally stated in Mil-STD-1530C (see Ref. 3, Attachment One).

4.3 Specific Requirements

4.3.1 Contractor Services

The contractor shall provide the appropriate engineering, program management, and technical services as required for this PWS. Travel will be required to meet the goals of this effort.

4.3.1.1 T-38 IATP and L/ESS Continued Development and Implementation:

4.3.1.1.1 General Discussion: The contractor shall continue to perform a comprehensive and coordinated effort to integrate the earlier and new flight loads data into a combined T- 38 IAT and L/ESS program. This effort will require coordination with the USAF and other contractors, as well as the Aircraft Structural Integrity Management Information System (ASIMIS) out of Tinker AFB, OK, and is intended to be in concert with those similar efforts as performed in Phases I through IX (with some phases performed by others – see Para. 1.1).

4.3.1.1.2 System Development (Includes IMIS and ASIMIS): The T-38 IATP and L/ESS development will continue to improve and refine their approach to determining some of the following: 1) control points to use for individual tracking; 2) calculation of a notional Damage Index (DI) at these control points; 3) suggestions as to how to best capture other important aircraft parameters (e.g. airframe hours, longeron hours, wing hours, etc.); 4) integration of the on-aircraft flight loads data (FLD) from the AETC bases with the ASIMIS at Tinker; 5) coordination with Tinker (ASIMIS) as to how to best format final IAT and L/ESS reporting (on a quarterly basis); 6) methodologies to integrate and how to determine a FLD baseline for the fleet based on the T-38C data (as opposed to traditional FLDR programs).

Continuous, comprehensive, and detailed planning is vital to the success of the Phase X efforts, so the contractor shall plan accordingly for their reporting. The final IATP report is due 12 months ARO. For Phase X, the deliverable document should be entitled, “T-38 IATP and L/ESS Development Report – Phase X.” Additional requirements for the final documentation of the system development are described in Para. 4.3.1.1.5 (CDRL A020, Attachment Two).
