Program Narratives
Description— U-28
This P-1 Line Item is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). The mission of the U-28 is to provide a crewed fixed wing capability for improved tactical airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and targeting in support of Theater Special Operations Forces. This program element funds Special Operations-peculiar modifications to rapidly field U-28 aircraft, Simulator Block Upgrades for U-28 training devices, low-cost modifications for the Mission Training Device, and support equipment to meet evolving mission requirements. There is no associated Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation funding.
Justification— U-28
1. Mission Systems: Provides SO-peculiar modifications to include avionics, communication systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems, mission workstations, and mission software. FY 2025 to FY 2026 decrease of $5.259 million removes aircraft Low Cost Modifications. 2. Simulator Block Upgrades (SBUD): The SBUD program addresses obsolescence and procures concurrency modifications for the U-28 Mission Training Devices (MTD) and full flight simulators (FFS) to sustain and improve training capabilities. The U-28 portfolio of training devices reduces mission risk, overall costs, and safety stresses of live training required to attain aircraft and mission proficiency. FY 2025 to FY 2026 funding increase of $2.031 million completes aircraft simulator modifications and supports required qualification training for pilots. Simulator modifications are required to align system upgrade representative of operational aircraft which were previously modified. Additionally, simulator modifications are required to support continued training throughput for required aircrews.
