EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Joint Training System Plan (JTSP) has been developed to identify all services (Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy) life cycle manpower, personnel, and training requirements for the V-22 Osprey Aircraft. The CV-22 System Training Plan is the Air Force Special Operations Command planning document that serves as a companion to this JTSP, providing Air Force-specific information regarding the management of the CV-22 training system. This document is based upon Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) 02 (post Quality Deficiency Report (QDR) 97) program profile - procuring 360 MV-22 Aircraft and 50 CV-22 Aircraft at a peak production rate of 30 MV and nine CV aircraft per year.

This JTSP contains all of the components included in a Navy Training Systems Plan (NTSP). As such, this JTSP can be considered a complete NTSP for the Marine Corps MV-22 and future Navy HV-22 aircraft. The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the JTSP is Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), Code N789.

The V-22 Osprey Program is a Department of the Navy program responsible for developing, testing, evaluating, procuring, and fielding a tilt-rotor, Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Aircraft for Joint Service application. The V-22 will provide the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps with a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium lift, VTOL Aircraft to be used to conduct combat, combat support, combat service support, and special operations missions worldwide. The CV-22 is in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase of the weapon system acquisition process, while the MV-22 is in Low Rate Initial Production which is in the Production and Deployment phase of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. The V-22 will achieve Initial Operational Capability in Fiscal Year 2001. Marine Corps MV-22 manpower for this document came from Tables of Organization (T/O) 8595 for Marine Medium Tilt-Rotor Training Squadron (VMMT)-204 and T/O 8920 for Marine Medium Tilt-Rotor Squadron (VMM) Squadrons.

The V-22 Program is tasked to provide an aircraft to accomplish the Marine Corps' amphibious and vertical assault missions, the Navy's fleet combat support and strike rescue missions, and the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) long-range Special Operations Force (SOF) support missions. The V-22 will replace the CH-46E and CH-53D helicopters in the Marine Corps, augment and replace yet to be determined aircraft in the Navy, replace USSOCOM's MH-53J and MH-60G Helicopters, and reduce dependence on USSOCOM's MC-130E/H fleet. The V-22 will be capable of flying over 2100 nautical miles with one aerial refueling, giving the Services the advantage of a Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing Aircraft that can rapidly self-deploy to any location in the world.

The Marine Corps Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is scheduled for FY01. The Air Force IOC is scheduled for FY05. The Navy IOC is yet to be determined.

Maintenance concepts for the V-22 Program will be based on the Navy and Marine Corp's maintenance policies, which will be modified for each service application. The Navy and Marine Corps will use the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, OPNAV Instruction 4790.2 series, which details a three-level maintenance concept, organizational, intermediate, and depot. Interim contractor maintenance support is planned until military organic support capability is reached by the various services.

Initial training for Developmental Test, Operational Test, and Multi-Service Operational Test Team personnel is completed. Initial training for instructor and fleet cadre personnel is ongoing at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina. Service and mission-unique training will be developed to support each service's unique mission requirements. VMMT-204, MCAS New River, is designated the Fleet Readiness Squadron for V-22 Aircrew training; and the Fleet Replacement Enlisted Skills Training, in conjunction with the Maintenance Training Unit, is designated Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachment (NAMTRAGRU DET) Osprey, for maintenance training. Air Force V-22 maintenance training will be provided at NAMTRAGRU DET Osprey, MCAS New River. A CV-22 school within the 58 Special Operations Wing at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico, will provide SOF peculiar Aircrew training. A Memorandum of Agreement exists between the Services on training details, exact relationships, responsibilities, training, and concepts of support.

Details on the Navy's HV-22 program are not available and are not addressed in this JTSP. As the information becomes available it will be included in updates to this JTSP.

PREFACE

This Draft Joint Training System Plan (JTSP) supersedes the Approved Joint Training System Plan, A-50-8412D/A, dated August 1999. It has been updated to comply with guidelines set forth in the Navy Training Requirements Documentation Manual and was developed in accordance with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 1500.76 to identify Manpower, Personnel, and Training requirements.

The JTSP provides a summary of resources and processes planned to successfully train personnel to operate and support the V-22 Osprey weapon system. It is a living document, subject to multiple revisions as the V-22 program evolves. Separate requirements documents such as the Joint Operational Requirements Document (JORD), Weapon System Planning Document (WSPD), and other force planning documents provide the controlling authority for the information summarized here. Changes to these documents will necessitate changes to this JTSP. Successive updates and revisions to this JTSP represent a meaningful planning exercise for the successful fielding of the V-22 Osprey. Details on the Navy's HV-22 program are not available and are not addressed in this JTSP. Navy information will be included in this JTSP as it becomes available.

Core components of this JTSP, when combined with the United States Air Force (USAF) CV-22 System Training Plan (STP), provide necessary training planning for the Air Force CV-22 Aircraft. The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the CV-22 STP is Air Force Special Operations Command/Director of Training (AFSOC/DOT). Specific changes to this JTSP are as follows:

Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 1035, in conjunction with the Fleet Replacement Enlisted Skills Training (FREST), a companion to the Fleet Readiness Squadron (FRS) Marine Medium Tilt-rotor Training Squadron (VMMT)-204 (from here on to be referred to as Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachment (NAMTRAGRU DET) Osprey), will be the model manager and training site for inter-service training at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina. "A" School Core and Strand training requirements for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and skills training requirements for the USAF have been identified. Follow-on maintenance training is being taught as validation training to Instructors and Initial Cadre personnel.

An updated description of Full Flight Simulator (FFS) and Flight Training Device (FTD) simulator acquisitions is included in this JTSP.

Parts II and III of this JTSP have been updated to reflect the most current manpower and training requirements indicated in the latest V-22 USMC Tables of Organization (T/Os), USAF student throughput requirements, and newly established maintenance training courses. Part VII has been updated to reflect the current V-22 Osprey Program points of contact.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. Operational Uses. The V-22 Osprey Program consists of a Joint Multi-Mission Vertical Lift Aircraft that provides the USMC, Headquarters USSOCOM, USAF, and the United States Navy (USN) with a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium lift, Vertical Take-Off and Landing Aircraft to be used to conduct combat, combat support, combat service support, and special operations missions worldwide. Missions include, but are not limited to, amphibious assault, land assault, raid operations, medium cargo lift, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), and Special Operations Force (SOF) support. The aircraft include MV-22 for the USMC, CV-22 for USSOCOM, and HV-22 for the USN. These V-22 Aircraft are capable of conducting operations in adverse weather, during daylight hours or at night, in climates from arctic to tropical from aviation and air capable ships (primary operating and support sea bases are Amphibious Assault (General Purpose) (LHA) and Amphibious Assault (Multi Purpose) (LHD) class ships). The aircraft are also capable of operating from improved and austere landing sites ashore and in a variety of conventional, unconventional, and contingency combat situations including Chemical, Biological, and Radiological warfare conditions. An air refueling capability will extend the aircraft's combat mission range when required, and it will be self-supporting to the maximum extent possible.

2. Foreign Military Sales. Currently, there are no Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs established. FMS will be addressed as required and incorporated into future updates to this JTSP.

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. MV-22 Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) was conducted and managed by the Rotary Wing Test Directorate, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, Maryland, using an Integrated Test Team comprised of Bell-Boeing and Government personnel. MV-22 Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) was conducted by Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) Multi-Service Operational Test Team (MOTT) and monitored by the Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR), Norfolk, Virginia. The MOTT consisted of selected Aircrew and engineering personnel from the Marine Corps and Air Force who received V-22 factory training. MV-22 DT&E and OT&E were successfully completed in May 2000. CV-22 DT&E and OT&E are scheduled to be performed at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), Lancaster, California, and other AFBs.

F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The V-22 will replace the CH-46E and CH-53A/D helicopters in the Marine Corps, replace USSOCOM's MH-53J and MH-60G helicopters, and supplement USSOCOM's MC-130E/H fleet. CSAR requirements of the USN by the HV-22 variant will replace an as yet To Be Determined (TBD) aircraft.

G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT

1. Functional Description. The V-22 is a dual-piloted, twin engine, medium-lift, tilt-rotor aircraft that combines the speed, range, and fuel efficiency of a turboprop aircraft with the slow flight and hover capabilities of a helicopter. Its design incorporates advanced, but mature technologies in composite materials, fly-by-wire flight controls, digital cockpits, survivability, airfoil design, and manufacturing.

The V-22 fuselage has a number of advanced composite structures. A rear loading ramp has been incorporated, which when closed, comprises the lower portion of the aft fuselage section. There is one side-entry personnel door.

The V-22 power plant (designated AE-1107C) and related systems, auxiliary internal fuel capacity, and an aerial refueling capability give the V-22 the ability to self-deploy worldwide. Changes necessary to convert the basic assault troop transport configuration for other missions will be simple and easily accomplished by organizational level maintenance personnel in field and shipboard environments.

2. Physical Description. The MV-22B configuration aircraft serves as the baseline design. The CV-22 configuration will include additional wing fuel tanks, a Terrain Following/Terrain Avoidance radar, and enhanced avionics packages to satisfy SOF specific mission requirements.

V-22 AIRCRAFT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Weight (in pounds) 33,140 (Empty)

60,500 (Maximum Take-Off)

Length 57 feet 4 inches

Height 22 feet 1 inch

Fuselage Width 15 feet 3 inches

Total Tilt-rotor Span 84 feet 7 inches

Individual Tilt-rotor Diameter 38 feet 1 inch

3. New Development Introduction. The V-22 Osprey will be introduced as new production aircraft to replace designated aircraft at existing operating activities.

The Marine Corps will employ a phased strategy for the transition of the Marine Corps Medium Lift fleet to the MV-22 aircraft. Twenty-two CH-46E/CH-53D squadrons will transition to the MV-22 aircraft (18 active and four Reserve). Upon transition, each squadron will maintain an aircraft inventory (Primary Aircraft Authorization (PAA)) of 12 aircraft. The estimated time-to-train for a squadron transitioning to the MV-22 aircraft is approximately 24-30 months (Stand-Down, Transition, Post-Transition, and Pre-Deployment Training).

4. Significant Interfaces. Not Applicable (NA)

5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. The V-22 is the first tilt-rotor aircraft to be fielded in the military. It is a hybrid aircraft, combining selected capabilities of an airplane and a helicopter. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has classified tilt-rotors as powered lift aircraft, neither airplane nor rotorcraft. The V-22 uses many unique items to achieve its configuration and capability. The airframe incorporates new materials and structural designs. Advanced avionics provide mission enhancement while new wiring technologies increase reliability and reduce weight. New hydraulic technology is also applied. Redundant digital systems such as fly-by-wire flight controls are used in lieu of traditional hybrid redundancies. New processes are applied in the operation and maintenance of the V-22. Examples include the V-22 Mission Planning System (VMPS) used by the Aircrew before flight to plan a mission and then to perform preflight mission computations to ensure mission feasibility and conformance to approved flight envelopes. The VMPS also provides postflight mission analysis capabilities to compare the mission planned with the actual mission flown. Another example is the Aircraft Maintenance Event Ground Station (AMEGS) used between flights to automatically identify defects and conduct trend analysis to predict future maintenance actions.

H. CONCEPTS

1. Operational Concept. The V-22 aircraft is manned by a Pilot, Copilot, and enlisted Aircrew appropriate for the specific service and type of mission being flown. The V-22 is optimized to transport troops (i.e., 24 combat-equipped Marines) or 10,000 pounds of external cargo to austere landing sites from aviation capable amphibious ships and expeditionary forward operating bases ashore.

2. Maintenance Concept. The maintenance concept for the V-22 is based on a Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) of the aircraft's maintainability, life cycle cost, maintenance engineering, and logistics support requirements. The Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), OPNAVINST 4790.2 series, and Air Force Special Operations Command Instruction (AFSOCI) 21-106 provide general guidance regarding the various services' maintenance concepts. For the Navy and Marine Corps, the NAMP details three levels of maintenance (organizational, intermediate, and depot) and provides an organizational structure to collect supporting data.

The Air Force will use a two-level (organizational and depot) maintenance concept for avionics and engines. The remaining systems will be maintained through three levels of maintenance. During DT&E, maintenance and logistics support is the responsibility of the contractor, Bell-Boeing. During OT&E, organizational maintenance will be performed by factory trained personnel from the MOTT. The contractor will provide intermediate maintenance support for DT&E and OT&E.

a. Organizational. Operating units normally perform organizational level maintenance actions on a day-to-day basis in support of their own mission. These actions are generally classified as Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Corrective Maintenance (CM). The AE-1107C engine will be maintained under a commercial two-level maintenance concept where the contractor (Allison Engine, part of Rolls-Royce) provides for all aircraft maintenance beyond the organizational level at Rolls-Royce repair centers. The Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force will only be responsible for performing AE-1107C engine organizational level maintenance.

(1) Preventive Maintenance. PM consists of periodic prescribed inspections and servicing of the aircraft, systems, and subsystems as detailed in the aircraft's Maintenance Requirement Cards and Maintenance Plan.

(2) Corrective Maintenance. CM is performed by organizational level maintenance personnel using Built-In Test (BIT), Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE), and Common Support Equipment (CSE) to fault isolate defective Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA) and Line Replaceable Units. CM includes repairs to powerplants, airframes, aircraft wiring, and connectors. Defective WRAs are forwarded to the Intermediate Maintenance Activity for repair.

b. Intermediate. Intermediate level maintenance actions are those performed in support of user activities that are beyond the capabilities of organizational level maintenance. These actions include test, repair, calibration, and modification of aeronautical equipment, repair and calibration of support equipment, and disposition of assets from stricken aircraft. Intermediate level maintenance will be performed to verify faulty WRAs and isolate to a faulty Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA), or component, using the appropriate test equipment. The faulty SRA will be removed, repaired, and replaced, and WRA performance verified by the appropriate test equipment. Depending on the system involved, the Air Force will perform some of these maintenance tasks at the organizational or depot level to support the two-level maintenance concept.

c. Depot. Depot level maintenance actions normally require repair, major overhaul, or a complete rebuilding, manufacture, or modification of parts, assemblies, sub-assemblies, and end items beyond the capabilities of intermediate level maintenance. Naval Aviation Depot (NAVAVNDEPOT) MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, is planned to be the depot repair site for all Marine Corps and Air Force V-22 aircraft (less engines). Rolls-Royce will perform depot level maintenance for the engines.

d. Interim Maintenance

(1) Phased Support Concept. Maintenance responsibility under the phased support concept is a joint services-contractor effort until the V-22 systems demonstrate the level of reliability required for complete organic support. Early organic capability will be established for systems demonstrating acceptable reliability, maintainability, and supportability. This concept will be in effect until the full Material Support Date (MSD) of June 2004 is achieved. The Organic Support Dates for the Marine Corps and Air Force are TBD.

(2) Sources of Technical Support. The Marine Corps will have crash damage depot repair capabilities at NAVAVNDEPOT, MCAS Cherry Point. The planned Government Support Date (GSD) for the V-22 is 2005. Engineering and Technical Services (ETS) will provide all required technical assistance until the GSD. ETS will also provide required technical assistance for the Air Force.

e. Life Cycle Maintenance Plan. The V-22 has a minimum service life of 20 years and contains diagnostics using automatic, semi-automatic, and manual means. It is the first military aircraft to use the AMEGS. AMEGS is a maintenance data system that uses downloaded data from a data storage system in the aircraft as input to the Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NALCOMIS) and the Core Automated Maintenance System for the purpose of immediate identification and assessment of aircraft discrepancies. The intent of the V-22 AMEGS software is to generate an evaluation of an aircraft's postflight or post-ground run operational status for the identification of necessary maintenance actions in line with the on-condition maintenance philosophy. The V-22 AMEGS application may be utilized as a stand-alone software application or as an interfaced client, on the Navy's NALCOMIS and Air Force networks. AMEGS is government furnished and will be assessed for workability and reliability from the standpoint of the V-22 Weapon System. AMEGS capabilities and requirements along with its planned integration with NALCOMIS Phase III will be evaluated.

3. Manning Concept. Navy and Marine Corps qualitative and quantitative manpower requirements for the operation and support of the V-22 weapon system were developed using LSA under an Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract per Chapter 4 of ILS-DS-30A-202, Revision C. Maintenance manpower requirements were generated by the contractor using LSA data and Maintenance and Material Management data from comparable aircraft systems (CH-46E Aircraft). Particular JORD requirements for the V-22 include specific manpower structure to operate and maintain the aircraft over a period of time in a developed workload mode. T/Os have been developed for the MV-22 based on a 12 aircraft operating squadron and one 40 aircraft training squadron (VMMT-204). For detailed information on Marine Corps manpower, refer to Element II.A.1.b of this JTSP.

The Air Force manpower requirements will also be derived using the LSA during EMD. Air Force requirements will be based on target labor analysis and target labor hours per flying hour. Standard Air Force skills (levels 9, 7, 5, and 3) will be used. The aircraft will be operationally maintained by level three and five personnel. For information concerning Air Force manpower requirements, refer to the V-22 Manpower Estimate Report (MER) dated 22 September 2000.

Note: Manpower requirements for the Navy are still in the planning stages. Information concerning the requirements for the development of squadron manpower documents and newly established Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs) will be included in this JTSP when it becomes available.

a. Aircrew Planning Factors. Marine Corps Aircrew manpower requirements were developed per OPNAVINST 5310.21 and are based on the number of aircraft, flight hours per aircraft per month, seat factors, and crew ratios. USAF manpower requirements were provided by the Air Force Personnel Center. Table I-1 provides a summary of Aircrew configurations, manning factors, and their applicable Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC).

d. Fleet Project Team. A Fleet Project Team (FPT) has been established to assist and advise in the development of the operator and maintainer training systems. The FPT is composed of knowledgeable representatives from user and non-user activities consisting of DoN, USAF, and USMC qualified military and civilian personnel per OPNAVINST 5000.50A and the CV-22 STP.

4. Training Concept. The contractor, Bell-Boeing, has developed a training program using the MV-22B as the baseline. Training courses have been designed in modules to provide the opportunity to select which courses, or portions of courses, best meet training requirements (based upon service unique missions, student entry levels, prior experience, etc.). Service-unique training not included in the modular "core" training will be developed at a later date to fulfill those requirements. V-22 training for the Selected Reserve (SELRES) is undetermined. As SELRES training requirements are identified, they will be included in updates to this JTSP.

The Marine Corps plans to implement a Mission Training Support System (MTSS) to provide follow-on support for the V-22 operator and maintenance training program. All functions of simulator support (simulator and academic instruction, maintenance and operation, curriculum and supply support, and auxiliary management) will be integrated into one contract. Under this concept, the contractor will be responsible for:

    • Contractor Operation and Maintenance of Simulators. Contractor Operation and Maintenance of Simulators will ensure all V-22 primary Training Devices (TDs) are maintained and operationally available 16 hours per day, five days per week, 50 weeks per year. These TDs include the Operational Flight Trainer (OFT), Cockpit Procedures Trainer (CPT), V-22 Maintenance Trainer Suite (VMTS), Full Flight Simulator (FFS), and the Flight Training Device (FTD).
    • Contractor Simulator Instruction. Contractor Simulator Instruction is being performed at VMMT-204 FRS, MCAS New River. This requirement for instruction began with the training of the VMMT-204 Instructor Pilot cadre. Contractor Simulator Instructors (CSI) provide simulator instruction in the OFT, Cabin Part Task Trainer (CPTT), VMTS, and FTD. This training began in June 1999, upon acceptance of the V-22 OFT/CPT update program (converting devices from MV-22A to MV-22B configuration) at MCAS New River. The CSIs conduct briefings, debriefings, and syllabus flights, and evaluate Pilot performance. Once the Instructor cadre is trained, CSIs instruct all simulator training and replacement events in support of VMMT-204. This training includes initial Aircrew training, transition/conversion training, refresher training, as well as follow-on Instructor training. After completing an established CSI training and mobilization period, CSIs will be certified by the model manager. CSIs will be required to attend VMMT-204 Instructor Standardization meetings, Air Force requirements lectures, complete semi-annual standardization evaluations, and complete annual Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) and Instrument checks in the simulator to remain certified.
    • Contractor Curriculum Support. Contractor Curriculum Support (CCS) is required to maintain, update, and revise curriculum and instructional standards. CCS will:
      • Manage changes and revisions to existing curriculum
      • Assist in the development of new curriculum
      • Maintain quality assurance
      • Establish, monitor, and regulate evaluation programs
      • Ensure instructor currency
    • Contractor Supply Support. Contractor supply support provides for the repair, replacement, and upkeep of the training system Material Support Package (MSP). The MSP will be used to support trainer operation and maintenance as specified under MTSS. The contractor provides for the repair and replenishment of all simulator and trainer peculiar items, as well as bit piece parts. The government will provide any aircraft common equipment and parts through the government military supply system.
    • Management and Auxiliary Support. Management and auxiliary support provides a contractor site representative, clerical assistance, janitorial services, and facility access control at each simulator and trainer site. The contractor, under the supervision of Naval Air Warfare Center, Training Support Division (In-Service Engineering Office - ISEO), provides trainer software support at MCAS New River.
    • Training in Support of Engineering and Manufacturing Development. During EMD, the contractor provides factory training at contractor and government facilities to coincide with the needs of the V-22 Flight Test schedule. Organizational level training was developed and is being taught by Bell-Boeing at VMMT-204 MCAS New River. Training for Developmental Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) is completed. DT&E was completed in September 1999. MV-22B OT&E was completed in May 2000. CV-22 Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) is ongoing through 2002.

a. Initial Training. The first squadron to receive MV-22B Aircraft was VMMT-204. Aircrew, maintenance Instructor, and initial cadre training performed at VMMT-204 and NAMTRAGRU DET Osprey began in July 1999 and will end in February 2001. After the initial cadre received training and sufficient aircraft arrived, training of the remainder of VMMT-204 began in January 2000. Navy initial training has not yet been determined.

I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING

1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development. Onboard proficiency training will be conducted to improve and enhance the capabilities of all V-22 Program individuals. For USMC personnel, the Individual Training Standards System (ITSS), Marine Aviation Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP), will be used to establish an effective and efficient training system that is responsive to USMC fleet training requirements. USAF onboard (continuation) training will be addressed in the USAF CV-22 STP.

a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. NA

b. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS) will redesign the aviation training process (training continuum), and introduce Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) throughout the Navy technical training process. The application and adoption of recent advances in computer hardware and software technology will enable IMI, with its basic elements of Computer Aided Instruction (CAI), and Interactive Courseware (ICW), to be integrated into the training continuum and provide essential support for standardizing technical training.

2. Personnel Qualification Standards. NA

3. Other Onboard or In-Service Training Packages. Marine Corps onboard training is based on the current series of Marine Corps Order (MCO) P4790.12, ITSS and MATMEP. This program is designed to meet Marine Corps, as well as Navy OPNAVINST 4790.2 series maintenance training requirements. It is a performance-based, standardized, level-progressive, documentable, training management and evaluation program. It identifies and prioritizes task inventories by MOS through a front-end analysis process that identifies the task, skill, and knowledge requirements of each MOS. (MATMEP will be replaced by AMTCS in approximately FY02.)

2. Program Documentation. The current Joint Acquisition Logistics Support Plan (JALSP) is dated 25 September 2000. Current documentation is listed under paragraph M of this JTSP.

3. Technical Data Plan. The following V-22 series technical manuals are required to support the V-22 acquisition effort:

    • Service-Unique Flight Manuals (NATOPS USN and USMC, Flight Manual USAF)
    • Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM)
    • Maintenance Instruction Manuals (MIM)
    • Structural Repair Publications
    • Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB)
    • Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRC)

These publications are being developed in progressive stages that reflect aircraft configuration changes. All three services are included in the progressive stages of publication development.

4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment. An analysis is being conducted on each system to establish scheduled and unscheduled maintenance requirements for all levels of maintenance. From the identification of these maintenance requirements, the support equipment, special tools, and test equipment are being identified and included as a requirement on the Support Equipment Recommendation Data List for procurement. The AN/USM-636(V) Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) will be used to support the V-22 systems. The specific systems to be supported on CASS have not been determined. When this information becomes available it will be included in updates to this JTSP.

5. Repair Parts. A technical data bank has been established in the V-22 Program for the USMC, USN, and USAF. The range and depth of data is expanding as the pre-operational support program progresses and transitions to the operational program. The data is used to develop detailed spares and repair parts requirements. The contractor is initially maintaining this data. As the V-22 Program matures, this data bank transitions to the appropriate Inventory Control Point. The GSD is FY05.

6. Human Systems Integration. The Human Systems Integration Plan is dated 30 November 1995, and currently being updated. The Human Factors Engineering Program ensured the requirements for operator and maintenance personnel were integrated into the system design, and that the V-22 permits maximum effectiveness for the man-machine system. The Human System Integration Plan is designed to ensure human considerations are fully accounted for in the weapon system development. Percentiles are no longer used as a determinant for Aircrew personnel. Case one through five studies are used as the profiles for design. These cases are contained in the aircraft EMD specifications. Maintenance personnel (both male and female) for the V-22 Weapon System must be capable of working between the five to 95 percentile per Military Standard 1472 database.

7. Engineering and Technical Services and/or Advisory Services. The type and number of ETS required is keyed to aircraft deliveries for each service, maintenance concepts, system complexity, maintenance task times, and frequency and difficulty of repair. ETS personnel received formal training and On-the-Job Training (OJT) in theories of operation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair of their respective systems. Training and update seminars will be conducted for ETS personnel throughout the program's life cycle. Using V-22 aircraft maintenance concepts developed that are consistent with OPNAVINST 4790.2 (series) and AFSOCI 21-106, ETS personnel are being used to provide assistance to receiving activities, depots, and training sites. ETS personnel provide informal training to maintenance personnel, and support operator training and briefings as required. They can provide formal instruction, OJT, and support aircraft repair at all levels of maintenance, as required.

K. SCHEDULES

1. Installation and Delivery Schedules. An estimated final procurement of 360 aircraft for the Marine Corps is proposed, allowing for a one-percent attrition rate. Tables I-6 and I-7 show aircraft delivery schedules, fulfilling the total operating aircraft requirements of 345 aircraft in FY14.

* An FFS will replace the OFT. An FTD will replace the CPT.

a. Operational Flight Trainer (2F151). This device is an operational flight system trainer capable of providing training in the development of Pilot skills and techniques in the MV-22B aircraft. The OFT is able to simulate MV-22B aircraft performance during cockpit preflight, aircraft start-up, all flight operations in both conversion and fixed wing modes, navigational flight, instrument flight, aircraft shutdown, and cockpit postflight procedures. The OFT cockpit mirrors the actual aircraft and has a six-degree-of-freedom, dome-based motion platform. The OFT is capable of simulating MV-22B flight in all conditions including day, dusk, night, and instrument meteorological conditions. It is fully Night Vision Goggles (NVG) compatible with FLIR simulation capabilities. Training environments include operations at airfields, confined area landing sites, mountain areas, urban areas, low altitude flight areas, and aboard aircraft capable ships such as LHAs and LHDs. All aircraft maneuvers can be simulated, including normal flight procedures, auto-rotations, aerial refueling, formation flying, high altitude operations, nuclear, biological, and chemical operations, and low altitude terrain following operations, and may include physiological conditioning. The OFT is capable of simulating all emergencies and system malfunctions both visually and through cockpit instrumentation. The OFT and CPT are undergoing update to MV-22B configuration from MV-22A (they were originally procured under the Full-Scale Development program).

b. Cockpit Procedures Trainer (2C71). The CPT will mirror the actual aircraft but will be mounted on a fixed base with no visual system. This device will effectively train and develop Pilot skills in cockpit management system proficiency, instrument flight, and emergency system malfunction procedures. The CPT simulates MV-22B aircraft performance during cockpit preflight, aircraft start-up, navigational and instrument flight, aircraft shut-down, and cockpit postflight procedures.

c. Full Flight Simulator/Flight Training Device. The FFS is a flight simulator with a full six degree-of-freedom motion base and an attached full-color day, dusk, and night visual system. The FFS is designed to support the MV-22B Training and Replacement syllabus and includes a tactical environment simulation and supports simulator-to-simulator networking. The FFS is designed to meet the initial training needs of MV-22B Aircrews in the proper operation of the MV-22B in all weather conditions, normal and emergency procedures, and NVG operations. The FFS will be the mainstay of operator training for the FRS. The FTD is similar to the FFS, but without the motion system, and is designed to meet proficiency training needs of MV-22B Aircrews in instrument flight, emergency procedures, and tactics, and to provide recurrent training for Fleet squadrons. FFSs and FTDs will be procured in both MV-22 and CV-22 configurations. The MV-22B training program will procure a total of seven FFSs and 23 FTDs for use by Marine Corps and Air Force operational and training squadrons. Of these devices, three FFSs and three FTDs are planned for MCAS New River.

d. V-22 Maintenance Trainer Suite. The V-22 Maintenance Trainer Suite (VMTS) will consist of the Landing Gear Part Task Trainer (PTT), the Mechanic PTT, the Airframe PTT, the Airframe Composite Maintenance Trainer (CMT), the Mechanical (and Power Plant) CMT, the Avionics CMT, and the CV-Expeditionary Maintenance Trainer (EMT). These maintenance trainers have been identified as requirements and specifications are being developed to procure these devices as part of the VMTS. The Power Plants PTT currently exists and is located at NAMTRAGRU DET Osprey in New River.

e. Cabin Part Task Trainer. The CPTT is a replica of the interior cabin of the CV-22, including cargo-handling equipment. One Air Force-unique CPTT will be procured for the Flight Engineer/Loadmaster. This single CPTT will be delivered to Kirtland AFB.

f. Interactive Multimedia Instruction. It is the intent of the V-22 Training System Program to incorporate IMI into the V-22 Training System. The depth and range of the IMI used is being determined during the development of production training. Programmatic requirements, such as Continuous Acquisition and Life Cycle Support and IETMs, are being considered during the development of the training program. IMI is a group of Computer-Based Training and training support products. IMI includes both CAI and self-paced ICW. It is the intent of the V-22 Training System Program to produce ICW for MV-22 Pilots and CAI for MV-22 maintenance personnel; both curricula will be in place at MCAS New River in March 2001. IMI for the CV-22 Pilot course was contracted in November 2000 with an RFT date at MCAS New River of March 2002. IMI for the CV-22 maintenance delta course was contracted during October 2001 with an RFT date at MCAS New River of March 2003.
