EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The EP-3E Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated Electronics Suite II (ARIES II) Sensor System Improvement Program (SSIP) Aircraft is a shore-based, long range, fixed wing aircraft that provides near real-time electronic reconnaissance support to Tactical Commanders through detection and identification of tactically significant electronic signals. Aircraft are operated by Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) One at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Washington, and VQ-2 at Naval Station (NS) Rota, Spain. A multi-disciplinary aircrew of 24 highly skilled officer and enlisted personnel provide full mission capability for the reconnaissance platform. The EP-3E ARIES II has achieved Initial Operating Capability. Twelve P-3C non-update aircraft were converted to ARIES II SSIP configuration under a Conversion-in-Lieu-of-Procurement Program. The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP is in Phase C (Production and Deployment, and Operations and Support) of the Weapon System Acquisition Process.

The maintenance concept for the EP-3E ARIES II consists of organizational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Avionics Plans do not include the intermediate level of maintenance. Fault isolation and correction times are reduced through the effective, but limited use of system Built-In Test features at the organizational level. Intermediate level maintenance fault isolation times are reduced by using Automatic Test Equipment whenever possible. Depot level maintenance is provided by the Fleet Support Team, Naval Aviation Depot Jacksonville, Florida. Interim support during the SSIP modification is required and detailed in the Interim Supply Support Plan. Interim support is provided by Raytheon Technical Services Corporation Indianapolis, Indiana.

The EP-3E has unique operator and maintenance manpower requirements. The Naval Security Group (NAVSECGRU) provides direct support operators, as required, through area Cryptologic Shore Support Activities. The operation and maintenance of the Ground Support Station (GSS) II is provided by the Information Systems Technician (IT) rating. A Fleet Introduction Team is assigned to Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Patuxent River, Detachment Indianapolis.

All initial training for the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP has been completed. Follow-on training for EP-3E Flight Engineers and Pilots is provided by Patrol Squadron Thirty. EP-3E/P-3C common maintenance training is provided by Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 1011 Naval Air Maintenance Training Unit (NAMTRAU) Jacksonville, Florida, and MTU 1012 NAMTRAU Whidbey Island, Washington. Naval Flight Officers receive Inter-Service Navigation training at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. Basic and Advanced Electronic Warfare Officer training and EP-3E ARIES II specific aircraft operator training are held at Fleet Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group Detachment (FASOTRAGRU DET) Whidbey Island, Washington. Enlisted aircrew personnel receive Basic Electronic Warfare and EP-3E specific aircraft operator training at FASOTRAGRU DET Whidbey Island. Organizational level maintenance and intermediate level Mission Avionics Systems maintenance training is provided by MTU 1012 NAMTRAU Whidbey Island. NAVSECGRU Communications Evaluators and Special Operators are receiving EP-3E specific aircraft operator training at FASOTRAGRU DET Whidbey Island.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. Operational Uses. The EP-3E ARIES II aircraft provides Battle Group Commanders the capability to detect and exploit tactically significant electronic signals and communication Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) information by providing electronic reconnaissance capability for Battle Group indications and warnings, targeting, suppression of enemy air defenses, and strike sorties. The primary mission of the EP-3E ARIES II is to rapidly assess the tactical situation using a variety of onboard sensors and remote data links, manage this multiple-source data, perform contact processing and events analysis, and disseminate evaluated tactical data to the appropriate Fleet Commanders and in-theater decision makers.

The SSIP subsystems are an upgrade package for the ARIES II avionics suite. While not intended to counter any specific threat, they increase mission capability by enabling the EP-3E to cope with the complex threat signal environment in which it operates, as projected in System Threat Assessment, Naval Technical Intelligence Center TA #014-94, August 1988. The SSIP enhances communications inter-operability and implements Department of Defense guidance to upgrade the EP-3E ARIES II communications systems and selected mission avionics. The Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office (DARO) and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Ltr 3500 Ser N880C6/5S663336 of 8 November 1995 reviewed and validated the requirements for these upgrades.

2. Foreign Military Sales. Neither the EP-3E ARIES II nor the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP aircraft will be procured by foreign militaries or any other sources or services.

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) outlines the requirements for Developmental Test (DT), which was completed December 1999 with ten major discrepancies, and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), which was originally conducted in July, 2000 with the OT&E report released with some discrepancies. The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP is still currently in OT&E undergoing a Verification of Correction of Discrepancies that is scheduled for completion during FY01. A Program Executive Office program review will be held following completion of the Operational Assessment (OA) to evaluate system performance and supportability. The Integrated Test Facility (ITF) and the aircraft test and evaluation schedule are described in the Integrated Test Plan and the TEMP. OT&E personnel observed the DT conducted in the ITF.

NAWCAD Patuxent River, Maryland, conducted, managed, coordinated, and completed all test and evaluation efforts for the EP-3E ARIES II Aircraft. The completed EP-3E ARIES II SSIP DT and OT&E included the ITF Testing, Aircraft Non-Reoccurring Engineer, Trial Kit installation, DT-IIIA/OA, and DT-IIIB.

F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The EP-3E ARIES II Aircraft replaced the EP-3B BATRACK and the EP-3E ARIES DEEPWELL Aircraft. The EP-3E ARIES II is being upgraded through the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP by the installation of the Story Teller, Story Book, and Story Classic subsystems, and modification of the AN/ULQ-16 system.

G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT

1. Functional Description. The EP-3E ARIES II is a shore-based, long range, fixed wing aircraft powered by four T-56-A-14 turboprop engines. The EP-3E uses a complex combination of receivers, antennas, computers, displays, and recording devices to accomplish its primary mission of Electronic Support (ES). The aircraft provides near real-time SIGINT capabilities to Battle Group and Joint Commanders. The avionics package of the EP-3E is designated the Mission Avionics System (MAS). The MAS provides mission support through detection and analysis of significant ES signals. Complete functional details of the various subsystems are classified beyond the level of this document.

a. Airframe. The fuselage is pressurized in the cabin area. Personnel loading and unloading is accomplished through use of an electromechanically operated folding ladder, which is stored in the cabin when not in use. There are four cabin emergency escape hatches. Two over-wing hatches (port and starboard) are located on the sides of the fuselage, one hatch aft of the pilot's port side windshield panel, and one hatch overhead in the top of the flight station. The lavatory and galley are located in the aft cabin fuselage. The largest radome on the aircraft is 12 feet in diameter, 3 feet deep, elliptical, and retractable. It houses the Big Look antenna and is located just aft of the nose gear. The upper and lower canoe assemblies house additional antennas. The upper canoe consists of three sections located on top of the fuselage, forward of and in-line with the vertical stabilizer. The lower canoe, also in three sections, is located on the lower fuselage center, just aft of the Big Look antenna.

b. Flight Controls, Hydraulic Systems, and Service Center. There are two independent (primary and secondary) hydraulic power systems located in the Hydraulic Service Center (HSC) that operate at 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure. The HSC is accessible from outside the aircraft through a door in the bottom of the fuselage and from the cabin through the deck hatch. In addition to the number one and two hydraulic power systems, the normal brake valve, accumulator, emergency brake modulator valves, air brake bottle, in-flight brake pressure reducer, aileron boost package, wing flaps, and landing gear components are located in the HSC. The system is identical to the original P-3C hydraulic system, except for the EP-3E ARIES II modification that deleted bomb bay doors and installed the retractable radome.

c. Landing Gear. The landing gear system is comprised of two main gears and one nose gear. Each assembly consists of dual wheels and forward-retracting struts. The gears are designed to free fall and lock in the down position in the event hydraulic pressure is lost.

d. Turboshaft Engines and Power Unit Section Assembly. The EP-3E ARIES II is powered by four Allison T-56-A-14 Turboprop Engines. Each engine develops 4,600 Shaft Horsepower (SHP) at 1,077 degrees Celsius Turbine Inlet Temperature.

e. Auxiliary Power Unit. The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) consists of a Gas Turbine Compressor (GTC) driving a 60 Kilovolt-Ampere (KVA) generator identical to the other engine-driven generators. The GTC has a two-stage centrifugal compressor and a single-stage inward flow radial turbine. Bleed air is used for engine starting, ground air conditioning, and heating. The APU can be operated in flight for generating emergency electrical power; however, bleed air is not available.

f. Aircraft Propellers, Spinners, and Anti-icing. Four Hamilton-Standard 54H60-77 four-bladed aircraft propellers convert SHP into thrust. Propeller modes-of-operation are flight range (including take-off roll (after power levers are moved forward)), all flight regimes, and ground operating range ("Beta" (where power levers are aft of the flight-idle stop.)) Propeller spinners, blade cuffs, and islands are heated to control ice build-up. When the system is engaged, the spinner nose is heated continuously. A hydraulic, speed-sensitive pitchlock is included in the propeller control assembly to prevent overspeed.

g. Air Conditioning, Pressurization, Ice Control, Number Two and Three Cabin Pressure. During ground and flight operations, environmental control for the aircrew and electronic equipment is provided by the air conditioning and pressurization system. The system employs engine bleed air and electrical power to achieve anti-icing (prevention) and de-icing (removal).

h. Electric Power Supply, Alternating Current and Direct Current. The aircraft electrical Alternating Current (AC) power is supplied by three 60 KVA generators mounted on, and driven by engines number two, three, and four. In normal operation, generators two and three work independently, each providing power to one of two main AC buses, A or B. Generator four serves as a standby, supplying power in the event of a malfunction with generators two or three. Generator switching is completely automatic and is indicated by advisory lights in the flight station. The APU is a fourth generator that may be used in flight, if necessary, as well as on the ground. Direct Current (DC) power is provided by three 200 ampere transformer rectifiers which convert AC to DC, supplying power to the DC buses.

i. Fuel System. The fuel system includes five tanks, a fueling system, and transfer, cross-feed, and dump systems. The fuel system allows conventional over the wing fueling, or pressure fueling and defueling under the wing. There are four wing tanks and an auxiliary tank, identified as tank five. Tank five is a bladder type tank, located in the unpressurized area of the lower fuselage. The fueling system provides the capability to pressure fuel any tank to any desired quantity if electrical power is available. Tank five can be fueled only through the pressure fueling system.

l. EP-3E ARIES II Sensor System Improvement Program. The EP-3E AIRES II SSIP consists of four mission subsystems, including Story Teller, Story Book, Story Classic, and a modified AN/ULQ-16. These subsystems are connected to each other on an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN), which interfaces with the existing EP-3E ARIES II Electronic Support Measures (ESM) MAS through a systems interface processor.

(1) Story Teller. Story Teller provides the capability to manipulate selected organic and non-organic data and view a composite tactical situation display, correlate multiple onboard sensor inputs with selected external data link inputs, and communicate value added information via selected data links and communication networks. Story Teller is installed at positions 12, 13, and 14, and enables the following data and voice networks:

Tactical Receive Equipment and Related Applications
Tactical Digital Information Exchange System - B
Tactical Digital Information Link - A (TADIL-A)
Tactical Information Broadcast Service (TIBS)
Tactical Reconnaissance Information Exchange Services
Advisory Support Network
Intelligence Network

Story Teller consists of the following major hardware units: three ruggedized TAC-3 work stations with three ruggedized high resolution color monitors, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Systems Interface, an EPR-165 TADIL-A Processor, a Commander's Tactical Terminal/Hybrid Receiver, a TIBS Data Link Interface, an Advanced Narrow-band Digital Voice Terminal, and three RT-1273AG Satellite Communication-capable radios. Story Teller is networked on the common SSIP Ethernet LAN and on its own Story Teller Ethernet LAN. It interfaces with the operator through the Story Teller Man-to-Machine Interface (MMI) software.

(2) Story Book. Story Book is an integrated special signal acquisition, data processing, and data fusion system that provides situation awareness based on special signals exploitation. Story Book provides the capability to assess the tactical picture and expeditiously add SIGINT data to communications data links. Story Book consists of a ruggedized TAC-3 work station with a ruggedized high resolution color monitor networked on the common SSIP Ethernet LAN and Story Book Ethernet LAN, the Fusion Engine (Windjammer) software and processing system hosted in a Versa Modular Eurocard (VME) chassis, Mission Processor Software, and the EPR-208 Signal Processor and Common Database Server system with Watkins Johnson (WJ) 8604 Signal Collection receivers. Story Book includes software and hardware interfaces to the aircraft Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). Story Book is installed at position 9.

(3) Story Classic. The Story Classic system provides Special Operators at positions 15 through 20 with an upgraded search and acquisition system for low band signals. Story Classic consists of three ruggedized TAC-3 work stations, two x-terminal work stations, five ruggedized high resolution color monitors, and a flat-panel Liquid Crystal Display portable workstation. These workstations are networked on the common SSIP Ethernet LAN and Story Classic Ethernet LAN. Story Classic includes a signal acquisition, distribution, and exploitation system which incorporates general search and directed search capabilities through a pool of 24 WJ 8607 receivers, a set of SP-202 Spectrum Processors, matrix switches, and demodulators. Other Story Classic hardware includes a WJ-8700 Dual High Frequency (HF) receiver, DI-930 digital recorders, and a VME chassis, which hosts the Data Server, the Navigation Data Interface, and the Pool Manager. The operator's MMI software is similar to that of Story Teller.

(4) AN/ULQ-16. The AN/ULQ-16 Signal Data Processor at positions 8, 10, 11, 12, and 20 has been modified to upgrade electromagnetic pulse processing capabilities. The modification replaces the IP-1159 and the FR-185 (XAN-3) Electrical Pulse Analyzer and adds dual channel real-time video inputs. The modification involves new circuitry in the Signal Data Processor (CP-1499 Mod), the addition of a nine-inch high resolution display (EI-1700), an EI-1400 Control Display Unit, and processor software upgrades.

(5) EP-3E ARIES II Sensor System Improvement Program System Maintenance Diagnostics. The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP System Maintenance Diagnostics (SMD) are derived from an upgraded version of the ARIES II Software Maintenance Program (SMP). The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP SMD includes operator station status and functional checks embedded in the MMI software for preflight, in-flight, and post-flight checks; a stand-alone SMP for organizational maintenance on selected SSIP equipment; and individual equipment tests for troubleshooting the remaining SSIP equipment. The SMD maximizes re-use of existing EP-3E ARIES II equipment diagnostic software and integrates it into the SSIP subsystem software.

2. Physical Description. The EP-3E ARIES II is a modified P-3C Non-Update (NUD) Aircraft. External upper and lower canoes are added to house antenna installations. The bottom forward cargo bay has been modified to accept the AN/APX-134 Radar Antenna and radome. The following dimensions reflect EP-3E ARIES II and EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Aircraft.

3. New Development Introduction. The EP-3E ARIES II program modified 12 low time P-3C ORION NUD Aircraft. Five aircraft were modified by the Lockheed Aircraft Service Company at the Lockheed Aeromod Center, Incorporated, facility in Greenville, South Carolina. Four aircraft were modified by Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP) Alameda, California, and three were modified at NADEP Jacksonville, Florida. The EP-3E ARIES II MAS was installed on 12 aircraft and the ITF. SSIP will be installed in 12 EP-3E ARIES II Aircraft.

4. Significant Interfaces. There are a significant number of shared systems and MAS equipment between the EP-3E ARIES II and the ES-3A Aircraft. The EP-3E ARIES II interfaces with other Battle Group defense platforms including United States Air Force Airborne Warning and Control Aircraft, Airborne Command and Control Forces, and sub-surface forces. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP subsystems directly interface with EP-3E ARIES II systems, such as the AN/ALD-9, GPS, INS, Digital Communications Management System (DCMS), and ESM. Story Teller interfaces with the EP-3E ARIES II OL-390 communications processor, the AN/ARC-187 Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio suite, and the DCMS. Story Classic interfaces with the EP-3E ARIES II AN/ALD-9 Direction Finder Processing System, the AN/URR-78 HF Receivers, and the DCMS. Impact on Specific Operator is detailed in paragraph I.2 below.

5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. Modifications to the EP-3E ARIES II Aircraft began in March 1996. The Joint SIGINT Architecture Family is undergoing prototype development and will be installed on one EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Aircraft for test and evaluation.

H. CONCEPTS

1. Operational Concept. The EP-3E ARIES II is operated by a crew of 24 personnel including eight officers and 16 enlisted aircrew. The officers include Pilots, Naval Flight Officers (NFOs), and a Naval Aviation Officer. The enlisted aircrew includes Electronic Warfare Operators, Laboratory Operators, a Secure Communications Operator, Special Station Operators, In-Flight Technicians (IFTs), and Flight Engineers. The EP-3E ARIES II provides tactical surveillance, reconnaissance, strike support, fleet support and warning, and monitoring of electromagnetic signals of interest for intelligence analysis. The EP-3E ARIES II operational concept is consistent with the mission tasking outlined in the VQ (EP-3E) Required Operational Capabilities (ROC) and Projected Operational Environment (POE). The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP operational concept remains unchanged from the basic EP-3E ARIES II.

2. Maintenance Concept. The EP-3E ARIES II maintenance concept reflects the three-level (organizational, intermediate, and depot) plan promulgated in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790.2 series. Time expended for fault isolation and corrective maintenance actions is reduced through effective use of the limited Built-In Test system features at the organizational level. Intermediate level fault isolation time is similarly reduced by using Automatic Test Equipment whenever possible. Organizational and intermediate level maintenance is accomplished by Navy organic support. Depot level maintenance requires both organic and contractor support for those subsystems not supported by Navy organic facilities. The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Avionics Plans span from organizational to depot level with no intermediate level repair. The Navy organizational level maintenance effort is limited to the removal and replacement of Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA). Depot level repair is accomplished by existing organic depots and cognizant vendors.

a. Organizational. EP-3E ARIES II and EP-3E ARIES II SSIP organizational level maintenance actions are performed by the operating units on a day-to-day basis in support of their own operations. These actions include inspections, servicing, handling, and on-equipment corrective maintenance procedures including removal and replacement of WRAs, selective Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRA), and major aircraft and engine components.

(1) Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance consists of standard preflight, postflight, calendar, and flight hour material and corrosion inspections done in accordance with prescribed Maintenance Requirements Cards.

(2) Corrective Maintenance. EP-3E ARIES II organizational level maintenance consists of removal and replacement of faulty aircraft and engine components, WRAs, and selected SRAs, retest to confirm proper system operation, and on-equipment repair. The SMD is used for fault isolation to the WRA for EP-3E ARIES II SSIP equipment. The AN/USM-482 is used to isolate failures in the RF waveguide transmission lines. Repair, including proper documentation and tool accountability, consists of fault isolation, removal and replacement of faulty WRAs and selected SRAs, and retest to confirm proper system operation.

b. Intermediate. Intermediate maintenance consists of repair of aircraft and engine components, WRAs, and SRAs forwarded to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) by the organizational activities. WRA repair is accomplished by replacement of faulty SRAs, pieces, and parts. The troubleshooting and repair of faulty components, WRAs, and SRAs by intermediate maintenance personnel is performed in accordance with the specific equipment maintenance plans. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP Avionics Plans do not include intermediate level maintenance.

c. Depot. Repair of all components, WRAs, and SRAs determined to be beyond the maintenance capability of the squadron or supporting AIMD is accomplished or directed by the Fleet Support Team (FST), NADEP Jacksonville. Piece and part replacements are performed in accordance with approved maintenance plans. Various contractors, including Raytheon Technical Service Company (RTSC) Indianapolis, Indiana, (formerly NAWCAD Indianapolis) provide depot level support for the Electronic Warfare (EW) mission avionics. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP is planned for life-cycle vendor support for selected EP-3E unique equipment. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP equipment common to other service applications will share a common depot per the lead-service procedures. NADEP Jacksonville is the FST for the basic EP-3E and the depot for airframe, hydraulics, environmental systems, and P-3C common equipment.

d. Interim Maintenance. Interim support for new or modified contractor furnished avionics equipment is provided by RTSC Indianapolis and various other contractors until Navy organic support is fully developed. Nine Naval Aviation Technical Data and Engineering Service Command (NATEC) representatives provide Navy Engineering and Technical Services to support the EP-3E ARIES II MAS and the ARIES II Aircraft program. The Interim Supply Support (ISS) Plan details interim support required for new or modified avionics equipment. Repair or Return (ROR) contracts are used as interim maintenance support and are managed by various Navy Inventory Control Points (NAVICP). The ISS Plan was developed to establish organizational responsibilities and functions for the development and acquisition of support resources for the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP until the Material Support Date (MSD), which was achieved in January 1999. NAVICP manages the ROR program using data input from the three fleet and equipment repair activities. RTSC Indianapolis assists NAVICP in the management of the ROR program.

e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The EP-3E Conversion-In-Lieu of Procurement program authorized the conversion of 12 P-3C NUD Aircraft into EP-3E ARIES II Aircraft, extending service life into the early part of the 21^st century. Aircraft with a fatigue life index of greater than 100 percent have no Aircraft Service Period Adjustment. Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) will be required within 20 months of the last mid-term inspection or within 40 months of SDLM, whichever is earlier.

3. Manning Concept. Qualitative and quantitative manpower requirements for the EP-3E ARIES II are driven by the user activity's ROC and POE and preventive and corrective maintenance requirements. The number of positions requiring manning is dictated by a planned maintenance flying day of twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. There has been no significant change to the EP-3E Maintenance Man-Hour per Flight Hour since the last NTSP update.

The EP-3E ARIES II has unique manpower requirements. Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) enlisted aircrew members in the EP-3E ARIES II community serve dual roles, as both Operators and Maintenance Technicians. The Naval Security Group (NAVSECGRU) provides direct support operators, as required, through area Cryptologic Shore Support Activities. The operation and maintenance of the GSS II is provided by the Information Systems Technician (IT) rating.

The EP-3E ARIES II SSIP is operated by a crew of 24 including eight officers and 16 enlisted aircrew personnel. This requirement remains unchanged from the basic EP-3E ARIES II. The following operator positions are directly affected by the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP:

Positions 8, 10, and 11 remain ESM Manual Search Positions. Position 9 becomes the Story Book Operator.
Naval Aviation Officer, position 14, will no longer be "I" branch capable and becomes a Story Teller Operator.
Scientific and Technology Operator, position 20, becomes "I" branch capable.
NFO positions 12 and 13 become Story Teller Operators.

4. Training Concept. Pilot and aircrew training for the EP-3E ARIES II is provided by Patrol Squadron Thirty (VP-30), NAS Jacksonville, Florida. Peculiar EP-3E ARIES II aircrew training has historically been provided by VQ-1 and VQ-2, under cognizance of the Commander, Naval Air Force, Pacific, and Commander, Naval Air Force, Atlantic, following completion of applicable signal recognition curricula at FASOTRAGRU DET, Whidbey Island.

Follow-on training for common EP-3E and P-3C maintenance is provided by Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 1011, Naval Air Maintenance Training Unit (NAMTRAU) Jacksonville, Florida, and MTU 1012, NAMTRAU Whidbey Island, Washington. The EP-3E SST initiative shifted EP-3E ARIES II specific organizational maintenance training to MTU 1012 in FY97. Remaining training courses being shifted require new Course Identification Numbers (CINs) and training tracks. New CINs and training track numbers will be included in subsequent updates to this training plan.

The established training concept for most aviation maintenance training divides "A" School courses into two or more segments called Core and Strand. Many organizational level "C" School courses are also divided into separate Initial and Career training courses. "A" School Core courses include general knowledge and skills training for the particular rating, while "A" School Strand courses focus on the more specialized training requirements for that rating and a specific aircraft or equipment, based on the student's fleet activity destination. Strand training immediately follows Core training and is part of the "A" School. Upon completion of Core and Strand "A" Schools, graduates going to organizational level activities attend the appropriate Initial "C" School for additional specific training. Initial "C" School training is intended for students in paygrades E-4 and below. Career "C" School training is provided to organizational level personnel, E-5 and above, to enhance skills and knowledge within their field. "A" School graduates going to intermediate level activities attend the appropriate intermediate level "C" School. Intermediate level "C" Schools are not separated into Initial and Career courses.

a. Initial Training. Initial training for EP-3E and P-3C common equipment and peculiar EP-3E ARIES II equipment was completed at NAWCAD Patuxent River. Initial training for the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP was completed during first quarter FY96 at NAWCAD Indianapolis.

b. Follow-on Training

(1) Operator. Follow-on training for common EP-3E and P-3C operators is provided by VP-30, NAS Jacksonville. The EP-3E SST initiative shifted EP-3E specific training for aircrew and operators to FASOTRAGRU DET Whidbey Island in FY97. Training track lengths have been adjusted to allow student throughput to be displayed by individual training locations such as Fairchild Air Force Base (AFB), Florida, FASOTRAGRU DET Whidbey Island, and MTU 1012. EP-3E ARIES II SSIP training courses and tracks for operator and aircrew are detailed below. Refer to elements IV.A.1 and IV.A.2 for additional information on Technical Training Equipment (TTE) and Training Devices (TDs).

d. Training Pipelines. All required changes to existing pipelines have been completed; no new pipelines are required.

I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING

1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development

a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. The Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP) is used to establish an effective and efficient training system responsive to fleet training requirements. MTIP is a training management tool that, through diagnostic testing, identifies individual training deficiencies at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. MTIP will be replaced by the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS). Current planning is for AMTCS to begin full implementation for fleet deployment in March 2001.

b. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. AMTCS will provide career path training to the Sailor or Marine from their initial service entry to the end of their military career. AMTCS is planned to be an integrated system that will satisfy the training and administrative requirements of both the individual and the organization. The benefits will be manifested in the increased effectiveness of the technicians and the increased efficiencies of the management of the training business process. By capitalizing on technological advances and integrating systems and processes where appropriate, the right amount of training can be provided at the right time, thus meeting the CNO's mandated "just-in-time" training approach.

Technology investments enable the development of several state-of-the-art training and administrative tools: Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) for the technicians in the Fleet in the form of Interactive Courseware (ICW) with Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) and Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) for the schoolhouse.

Included in the AMTCS development effort is the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System - Software Module (ASM) which provides testing [Test and Evaluation (TEV)], recording [Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ)], and a Feedback system. The core functionality of these AMTCS tools are based and designed around the actual maintenance-related tasks the technicians perform, and the tasks are stored and maintained in a Master Task List (MTL) data bank. These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate COTS hardware and software, i.e., Fleet Training Devices (FTD) - Laptops, PCs, Electronic Classrooms (ECR), Learning Resource Centers (LRC), operating software, and network software and hardware.

Upon receipt of direction from OPNAV (N789H), AMTCS is to be implemented and the new tools integrated into the daily training environment of all participating aviation activities and supporting elements. AMTCS will serve as the standard training system for aviation maintenance training within the Navy and Marine Corps, and is planned to supersede the existing MTIP and Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP) programs. AMTCS implementation will begin with the F-14, E-2C, and all models F/A-18 aircraft. For more information on AMTCS refer to PMA205-3D3.

2. Personnel Qualification Standards. Common P-3C Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) are used to ensure aircrew proficiency and are listed below. They can be found in the Naval Education and Training (NAVEDTRA) 43100-5K, Catalog of Personnel Qualification Standards. The PQS program for flight crew personnel is managed by the PQS Development Group (Code 34) of the NAVEDTRA Program Management Support Activity, Pensacola, Florida.

P-3 Flight Engineer/Instructor	43433-13B	VP-30
P-3 Ground Engine Turn Operator	43443-26	VP-30

3. Other Onboard or Inservice Training Packages. VQ-1 and VQ-2 will use the 10H1B MAST for onboard aircrew proficiency training. VQ-1 and VQ-2 will use the Multi-Static Processor Trainer (MSPT), upgraded to the 10H1F MAST Story Book configuration, for onboard special signals training. The MSPT will use a two-position computer work station configuration and serve as a stand-alone PROFORMA signals training device. VQ-1 and VQ-2 will use the Portable MAST for onboard Electronic Warfare Operator proficiency training. Job Qualification Requirements for NAVSECGRU EP-3E Special Operators will be developed by NAVSECGRU, VQ-1, and VQ-2 in conjunction with area Cryptologic Shore Support Activities.

2. Program Documentation. The EP-3E ARIES II Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP), AV-ILSP-033 Revision A, was approved in June 1993 and is currently being updated. It includes the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP. The DARO and CNO letter 3500 Ser N880C6/5S663336 dated 8 November 1995 established and validated the operational requirements for program upgrades. In addition, Manpower, Personnel, and Training Concept and Resource Requirements Documents were completed for the SSIP in July 1990.

3. Technical Data Plan. EP-3E ARIES II organizational technical manuals have been developed and are detailed in element IV.B.3 for training activities. Intermediate and depot level technical manuals are being developed or updated as necessary by RTSC Indianapolis and the equipment production contractors, and will conform with approved Maintenance Plans and Technical Manual Contract Requirements specifications. These publications will remain exempt from the Maintenance Information Automated Retrieval System and continue to be printed and distributed in hard copy format. RTSC Indianapolis is designated the Lead Field Activity for the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP and is responsible for preparation of technical data and specifications, testing, and integration of the hardware and software in the ITF and the aircraft. Per the Technical Manual Contract Requirements (TMCR), the contractors are responsible for validating technical manuals and manual source data prior to delivery. NATEC will perform technical manual verification as required. No major end items are being developed; modifications to existing systems, Non-Developmental Items, and off-the-shelf equipment are the focus of this program.

EP-3E ARIES II SSIP system manuals were made available during system introduction. Technical manual requirements were addressed via the individual subsystems and airframe modifications, by establishing a data call process during development of the Statement of Work (SOW) for each contract acquisition. Each SOW includes cross-reference of the Contract Data Requirements List with appropriate TMCR to specific SOW paragraph. NATEC chaired and scheduled technical publication verifications and reviews per TMCRs. The contractor is responsible for technical manual source data prior to delivery.

The following SSIP EPS Series Technical Manuals have been updated using the ARIES II PAE Series Technical Manuals as a baseline, per the Master Program Plan for the EP-3E ARIES II SSIP technical manuals program. All EP-3E SSIP manuals were developed in FY97, validated in September 1997, and delivered in November 1997.

The EP-3E MAST incorporates aircraft operational software to provide EP-3E equipment specific operator training. The 10H1B MAST trainer was installed at FASOTRAGRUDET Whidbey Island in September 1996 and at VQ-2, Naval Station (NS) Rota, Spain, in January 1997. Incorporation of SSIP upgrade software into the 10H1B is complete. The 10H1F Mast is under development as a two-station special signal trainer for Story Book SSIP Subsystem. The 10H1F MAST prototype replaced the MSPT devices in both VQ-1 and VQ-2. Final delivery is scheduled for third quarter FY01. Requests for further information regarding changes to these schedules should be directed to Program Manager, Air (PMA) 205.
