13. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) FAA is transforming air traffic control to a satellite-based system known as the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Mandatory for all aircraft operating in CONUS by 2020 – Increases safety and efficiency Airspace requiring ADS-B compliance: – Class A, B, and C – Class E above 10,000 ft – Around those airports identified in 14CFR 91, Appendix D AETC T-38C training syllabi require access to controlled airspace above 10,000 feet AF 1067 approved to incorporate ADS-B in T-38s Fleet-wide Solution to be determined as part of AvCI contract effort 13

15. T-38 Anti-Skid/Brake Brake failures experienced starting in 1999 Two mishaps recommended T-38 antiskid system Prototype antiskid system tested on aircraft – Indicated successful braking ops/performance AETC/CC cancelled T-38 Improved Brake System Program (IBSP) in Apr 09 Highest unmitigated risk on T-38 System Safety Evaluation – Prevent 7-19 mishaps (2 class A mishaps) and 1 pilot death prior to 2029 Estimated cost $50.27M – Recommend start in FY16 Still in Planning Phase 15

16. 16 Fwd Canopy Development Background : The T-38 has experienced 7 Class A mishaps and 3 pilot fatalities since 1964 due to birdstrikes to the front canopy transparency. The current T-38 front canopy has a minimum birdstrike capability of 4 lb. bird at 125 knots. USAF expects to increase the minimum birdstrike capability significantly to be consistent with mission profiles without shattering in order to significantly increase pilot safety. The Program is in the early stages of market research and feasibility testing. Still in Planning Phase

20. TCTO 1T-38-837 Control Rods and Magnesium Parts Replacement TCTO 837 addresses two issues in the primary flight control system. Inspections showed that magnesium CSIs contained corrosion damage. They also showed that control rods were bent which induces fatigue damage. To correct these issues the control rods will be replaced with new control rods. To correct the corrosion on the magnesium parts, new parts will be built out of aluminum and replaced. This is a one time change out of 39 flight control parts. Control RodsMagnesium Parts 20

22. TCTO 1T-38-870 Engine Bay Asbestos Removal Effort Asbestos originally used in the production of T-38 aircraft in the engine bays and liquid oxygen system areas as an insulator. It is now recognized asbestos poses a major health risk and field units are being tasked to perform increasing inspections in these areas due to aircraft age and usage. Removing the asbestos at depot creates a single controlled environment for asbestos removal allowing the field perform required inspections more efficiently without work- arounds required to mitigate asbestos exposure.. 22 Pre 870 Post 870 Asbestos Removal

23. 23 Asbestos Removal Background: Asbestos is used to isolate the heat shields from the aluminum structure. Asbestos is considered a carcinogenic and requires Hazmat procedures to be in place when performing maintenance in this area.

25. 25 Lower Center Longeron Background : Cracks are being discovered on lower center longerons during phase inspection. The field cannot replace or repair these longerons. The depot is currently replacing them. Both left and right longerons are replaced regardless if only one side is cracked.

26. 26 Attach Lower Aft Support Background: Inspection added to depot workload during asbestos removal as opportunistic maintenance. Cracks were discovered on numerous aircraft in depot. An inspection TCTO will be issued to inspect all aircraft in the field.

27. Cost Saving Measures New LED Beacon Light Increased visibility Increased mean time between failure First deliveries Aug 14 New Radial Tires Increased Landings First deliveries Sep 14 New Generator Stator Housing Operates at cooler temperatures Increased mean time between failure Currently implemented Improved P-panel Circuit Cards Currently under test and evaluation T-5 Amp Go No Go Tester Capability to test T-5 Amp before returning to contractor for repair Approximately 60% returned to supply as serviceable

28. 28 LED Beacon Light Background: Existing electromechanical rotating beacon light is prone to failure due to age and condition. This light has a mean time between failures of 27,000 hours.

29. 29 Generator Stator Housing Background: During depot overhaul, stator housings needed to be condemned due to damage to the stator housing. A redesign was initiated and a new stacked housing was approved. Testing proved that a generator operated at cooler temperatures and service life increased. Several test generators are still in service after 1400 hours.

30. 30 Protection Panel Circuit Cards Background: Legacy P-panel circuit cards are 1960s technology. New circuit cards use state of the art technology and are expected to increase service life. Legacy and improved p-panels can be installed on an aircraft with no issues. Operational testing is scheduled soon for final approval.

31. 31 Bias vs Radial Tires FEATURES BENEFITS BiasRadial Improved FOD Resistance Mature Technology Low Heat Generation Improved Ride Quality (Reduced Vibration/flat spots) Tire Cooling Time Reduced Less Rolling Resistance Increased Overload & Taxi Durability Marginal Safety Benefit

33. Summary Cost figures presented are subject to change due to program delays, aircraft beddown changes, DoD funding adjustments, efficiencies not determined, contract restructuring and re- pricing, or other unforeseen circumstances. This info is provided for long range budget planning purposes and should not be interpreted as a final cost estimate. Our goal is to ensure NATO’s future fighter pilot training needs are met and ENJJPT, with new advanced training systems, will continue to produce the world’s best pilots. 33
