F-14A, F-14B, AND F-14D AIRCRAFT

N88-NTSP-A-50-8511B/A

MARCH 2000

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Tomcat Aircraft are long range, multi-shot, all-weather strike fighter aircraft suitable for carrier or shore-based operations. The F-14 Aircraft mission has been expanded to include delivery of conventional air-to-ground ordnance and precision guided munitions. The F-14B is either a remanufactured F-14A or new production aircraft, both equipped with F110-GE-400 engines, which replaced the TF30-P-414A engines. The F-14D is either a remanufactured F-14A or new production aircraft, both equipped with F110-GE-400 engines, new radar, and new avionics systems. Initial Operational Capability for the F-14D Aircraft was in FY92. An upgrade program has been implemented for the F-14B Aircraft, which includes requirements to extend the service life of the airframe and avionics changes to improve offensive and defensive capabilities. The modified F-14B Aircraft is referred to as the F-14B Upgrade; modifications will be completed in FY01.

In FY96, all active duty F-14 squadrons, except Fighter Squadron (VF)-154, were relocated to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Virginia. VF-154 will remain at NAF Atsugi, Japan, through FY03. VF-201, formerly an F-14A squadron, transitioned to the F/A-18 Aircraft in first quarter FY99.

The maintenance concept is set forth in the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, OPNAVINST 4790.2 series, which prescribes the concept of three levels of maintenance: organizational, intermediate, and depot. The F-14D Aircraft achieved Navy Support Date in September 1996. Various systems in the F-14B Upgrade will have contractor interim support until Navy organic support is achieved in November 1999.

Qualitative and quantitative manpower requirements for the F-14 Aircraft are driven by the total preventive and corrective maintenance workload, Required Operational Capabilities (ROC), and Projected Operational Environment (POE) requirements. Activity Manpower Documents (AMDs) for F-14 Aircraft squadrons with ten aircraft will be developed using the current ROC and POE requirements and a Chief of Naval Operations (N88) letter authorizing squadron manning for 12 aircraft. This manpower concept allows deployed squadrons to surge to 14 aircraft when needed. An AMD has also been developed for the Fleet Readiness Squadron, VF-101, located at NAS Oceana.

Initial training for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft has been completed. In addition, F-14B Upgrade Aircraft systems initial training has been completed. VF-101 and Maintenance Training Unit 1007, Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachment Oceana, are conducting follow-on training for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft, including F-14B Upgrade avionics training.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. Operational Uses. The F-14 Tomcat is a long-range, multi-shot, all-weather, strike fighter aircraft suitable for carrier or shore-based operations. The F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D mission has been expanded to include Precision Strike and GPS functionality. This program increases the F-14 Aircraft's capabilities with target acquisition and weapon delivery of conventional air-to-ground ordnance and laser-guided munitions. Precision Strike capability is provided by a new Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) system known as the AN/AAQ-25 LANTIRN. Additionally, as a result of lessons learned from Operation Desert Storm, all versions of the F-14 have undergone some modification to enhance their survivability in a hostile environment.

The F-14B Aircraft inventory includes new production F-14B aircraft or remanufactured F-14A aircraft, both equipped with new F110-GE-400 engines and other new systems, listed in Part I.F below. Sixty-seven F-14B Aircraft are being modified to extend the service life of the airframes and improve the offensive and defensive posture of the platform. These F-14B Aircraft are referred to as F-14B Upgrade Aircraft. Hereafter, in this NTSP, references to the F-14B will be inclusive of F-14B Upgrade Aircraft, unless specifically stated otherwise.

The F-14D Aircraft inventory includes new production F-14D or remanufactured F-14A aircraft, both equipped with F110-GE-400 engines and improved radar and avionics systems, which allow future subsystem growth and increased aircrew effectiveness through automation and display simplicity. Digital technology eliminates single point failures through redundancy and improved field diagnostic effectiveness.

2. Foreign Military Sales. Iran procured the F-14A. There are no current Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements for the F-14 Aircraft. As future FMS requirements become known, information will be included in this NTSP.

E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. The F-14B and F-14D Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program contained a structured Developmental Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) schedule developed to meet the highly compressed and concurrent schedule milestones. The principal site for EMD was the Grumman Aircraft Systems Division facility at Calverton, New York, with Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Patuxent River, Maryland, and Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Point Mugu, California, used for carrier suitability, missile firings, and other testing as necessary. Eighty percent of the Navy's DT was held at the Grumman Aircraft Systems Division facility, with Navy aircrews flying 30 to 40 percent of the test flights. DT for the F-14D was held at NAWCAD Patuxent River and NAWCWD Point Mugu. OT was performed by VX-9 at NAS Point Mugu.

F-14D Aircraft DT and OT through OT-IID were completed by January 1993. DT and OT-IIIA, B, and C were completed by 30 September 1996.

DT for the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft was completed on 5 November 1996. OT of the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft was completed in June 1997.

DT and OT for the Precision Strike Program's LANTIRN began in February 1996 with the F-14A, followed by the F-14B, and concluded in October 1997 with the F-14D. LANTIRN DT and OT were conducted at NAWCAD Patuxent River and NAWCWD Point Mugu.

F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. Sixty "core" F-14A Aircraft have been upgraded with the addition of the ALR-67 Countermeasure Warning System, LANTIRN and the Programmable Tactical Information Display (PTID). The final Operational Flight Program (OFP) software is the 116D Tactical Tape.

The F-14B Aircraft includes the F110-GE-400 engine, Fatigue Engine Monitoring System, AN/ALR-67, Gun Gas Purge Door modification, Direct Lift Control/Approach Power Compensator, the AN/AWG-15F Fire Control System and Engine Door Tension Fittings change. The aircraft are in the process of being modified to an "Upgrade" configuration consisting of the MIL-STD-1553B Digital Multiplex Data Bus, CP-2213/AWG-9 Mission Flight Computer, PTID, Programmable Multi-Display Indicator Group (PMDIG), the AN/AWG-15H replacing the (F) version, Mission Data Loader, and the Embedded Global Positioning and Inertial Navigation System (EGI) replacing the AN/ASN-92 Carrier Aircraft Inertial System. Other survivability improvements were developed under the F-14 Airframe Change #828 Multi-Mission Capability Upgrade. The F-14B Upgrade OFP, incorporating the EGI and new weapon systems functions is the 320A, with 320A1 following.

The F-14D Aircraft has been modified with the inclusion of the MAGR GPS and many new systems components to improve reliability. The OFP D03A permitted the systems interface with the GPS, then D03B introduced the ACR and GBU-24E/B Enhanced Paveway III capabilities.

In all F-14 series aircraft, the Automatic Flight Control System is being replaced by the Digital Flight Control System. The TARPS Pod System has been replaced with TARPS Digital Imaging. The LANTIRN System capability, BOL Chaff and the Fast Tactical Imaging System have been added to the aircraft.

G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT

1. Functional Description. The F-14A Aircraft is the basic platform of the F-14 series. It is equipped with two TF-30-P-414A engines and the systems listed in the table on page I-7 and I-8. Additions to the aircraft are now limited by the five-year rule to safety of flight improvements, such as the Engine Breather Pressure Monitoring System recently incorporated and improved upon.

In addition to the basic Upgrade/EGI configuration change to the F-14B Aircraft, further enhancements are being programmed for the aircraft. A replacement VDIG/HUD, utilizing F-14D displays for landing and take-off phases of flight, is to be incorporated. The reliability, initial and supportability costs will be a vast improvement over the existing HUD. OFP Tapes 320C; providing GBU-24E/B capability; 321 providing JDAM and systems improvements and finally 322 providing LANTIRN RT, single pass targeting and in-flight training capability are future developments.

For the F14D, future plans include a possible JTIDS Notch Filter modification and new OFP versions are planned. The OFP Tape D04 will provide JDAM, SAR MAP and LANTIRN RT capabilities.

Planned changes for the F-14 series are JDAM, ALE-47 replacing the ALE-39, TARPS Complete Digital (further pod change), GBU-24E/B, GBU24-B/E and LANTIRN RT.

2. Maintenance Concept. General direction and guidance regarding the maintenance concept are provided by the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), OPNAVINST 4790.2 series. The NAMP prescribes the concept of three levels of maintenance: organizational, intermediate, and depot; classification of maintenance requirements by functional complexity; assignment to the maintenance level which has the resources to effectively and economically accomplish the maintenance action; and the organizational structure for collection of data to manage the NAMP.

a. Organizational. Organizational maintenance actions are normally performed by an operating unit on a day-to-day basis in support of its own operations. These actions are generally classified as inspections, servicing, handling, and on-equipment corrective maintenance. Personnel from the aviation maintenance ratings perform organizational level maintenance. Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs) for F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D common systems and TF30-P-414 Engine are 8845 and 8345. For F-14D-specific systems and the F110-GE-400 Engine (installed in the F-14B and F-14D), the organizational maintenance NECs are 8835 and 8335.

(1) Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance consists of periodic prescribed inspections and servicing of equipment accomplished on a phase, sortie, or hours of operation basis.

(2) Corrective Maintenance. Organizational level maintenance personnel use Built-In Test (BIT) for primary fault isolation to a WRA. The faulty WRA is removed and replaced using Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) or Common Support Equipment (CSE). Some larger WRAs require the use of non-complex PSE and CSE (e.g., engine, canopy, etc.). No repair of the faulty WRA or its Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRAs) is accomplished at this level.

b. Intermediate. Intermediate maintenance actions are those normally performed in support of a user activity. These actions include repair, test, and modification of aeronautical equipment, calibration of support equipment, and disposition of assets from stricken aircraft. Intermediate maintenance is performed at Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Departments (AIMDs), afloat and ashore, to verify faulty WRAs and fault isolate to an SRA or component using the appropriate test equipment.

New avionics procurements since the year 1991 are maintained at the intermediate level using the AN/USM-636(V) Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS). As older automatic test equipment is phased out, its workload is shifted to CASS or to organic depot or contractor repair facilities. This shift of workload affects all models of the F-14 Aircraft. An exception to CASS is the LANTIRN Targeting Pod, which is maintained at activities afloat and ashore using PSE: the Electro-Optical Test Set and Battlefield Reconfigurable Item for Test of Electro-optics (EOTS/BRITE). The EOTS/BRITE will deploy with carriers; one test bench will be located at AIMD Oceana.

The following table illustrates the intermediate level repair requirements by system.

c. Depot. The Fleet Support Team for F-14 Aircraft depot level maintenance is NADEP Jacksonville. (Selected items and equipment employ contractor depot level maintenance.) The Navy Support Date (NSD) for the F-14B Upgrade was achieved in November 1999.

d. Interim Maintenance. F-14B Upgrade systems, LANTIRN, and EGI will be contractor supported until the Navy achieves organic maintenance capability for the systems.

e. Life-Cycle Maintenance Plan. The F-14 Aircraft is periodically inspected and reworked throughout its life-cycle through the Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) program. F-14 Aircraft SDLM is accomplished at NADEP Jacksonville on a 68-month cycle.

3. Manning Concept. Qualitative and quantitative manpower requirements for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft are driven by the total preventive and corrective maintenance workload, Required Operational Capabilities (ROC), and Projected Operational Environment (POE) requirements. Activity Manpower Documents for each F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D squadron have been developed under current F-14 ROC and POE requirements. The F-14B Upgrade does not cause any changes to current manpower requirements.

Naval Air Systems Command (AIR 3.4.1.1) has conducted a manpower and training analysis on LANTIRN requirements. This analysis is documented in the Initial NTSP for F-14 Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared System for Night (LANTIRN) Targeting System, dated August 1998. The results of this study and the subsequent decisions will be included in updates to this NTSP.

4. Training Concept. Training for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft and their systems is available for operator, organizational maintenance, and intermediate maintenance personnel. Pilots and NFOs receive training for the appropriate F-14 series aircraft at the Fleet Readiness Squadron (FRS), VF-101, at NAS Oceana. Organizational level maintenance training is provided by Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 1007, Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachment (NAMTRAGRU DET) Oceana. Intermediate level maintenance personnel are provided training at MTUs located at various NAMTRAGRU DETs around the country.

MTU 1007 incorporated F-14B Upgrade systems training into existing organizational level maintenance courses to provide training to Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) personnel on the differences between the F-14B and the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft.

The training concept for Precision Strike LANTIRN currently consists of operator and organizational level maintenance training. Operator training is accomplished through desktop trainers and Computer-Based Training (CBT) during regular aircrew training at the FRS and at SWATSLANT. The desktop trainers are utilized at the SWATSLANT facility and are intended for deployed use aboard ship as well. Organizational level maintenance training is conducted by NAMTRAGRUDET MTU 1007 and is currently taught as block training. It has been incorporated into the avionics courses and is in the approval process. Intermediate level maintenance training and training on the use of the EOTS/BRITE Test Set is not required, since contractor support personnel will accomplish intermediate level maintenance.

The established training concept for most aviation maintenance training divides "A" School courses into two or more segments called Core and Strand. The "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" School, graduates 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 for E-5 and above personnel to enhance skills and knowledge within their field.

a. Initial Training. All initial training for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft has been completed and is not included in this document. Prior to DT and OT the contractor conducted initial training for LANTIRN. As additional initial training requirements for LANTIRN are identified, specifically for the EOTS/BRITE, they will be included in updates to this NTSP.

Initial training for the F-14B Upgrade for DT and OT personnel, NAMTRAGRU DET instructors, and fleet AT personnel was conducted in May 1996, September 1996, February 1997, and October 1997. As deploying squadrons were provided the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft during this period, the contractor familiarized squadron AT personnel with the newly installed systems.

b. Follow-on Training

(1) Pilot and NFO Training. Pilots and NFOs receive training for the appropriate F-14 series aircraft at VF-101. Operator training for F-14 TARPS is also conducted at VF-101.

(2) Maintenance Training. Organizational level maintenance courses are centered on a specific rating and NEC by aircraft series. Recent changes to the training concept include consolidating several separate F-14A/B and F-14D courses. This includes courses addressing armament, electrical systems, and environmental systems. In addition, the F-14A/B and F-14D Integrated Weapon Systems training was incorporated into the career avionics training courses for the respective aircraft, thereby eliminating the Weapon System Technician NECs 7970 and 7971. Now, with the exception of the avionics and engine training courses, organizational maintenance training applies to more than one F-14 platform.

Intermediate level maintenance training for common aircraft equipment is provided by MTUs located at various NAMTRAGRU DETs. F-14 peculiar equipment intermediate level training is taught at MTU 1007. Personnel assigned to intermediate level maintenance activities in support of F-14 squadrons receive NEC-specific training needed to fill specific billets in a fleet support activity.

Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) is being brought on line by NAMTRAGRUDET MTU 1007 using materials received through a NAVAIR contract. Interactive Courseware (ICW), intended for Fleet squadron use, was developed under the same contract but requires further development to meet fleet requirements. Current planning is to have CAI software integrated into all current organizational level maintenance course curricula and RFT by September 2000. The ICW requires further funding for additional development and is projected to be completed by December 2000.

MTU 1007 provides training to AT personnel in the differences between the F-14B and the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft. F-14B Upgrade systems differences organizational level maintenance was incorporated into the avionics initial and career maintenance courses contained in training tracks D-102-1623 and D-102-1624.

Avionics organizational maintenance courses were revised to include the LANTIRN System. Until LANTIRN organizational maintenance training receives final approval, NAMTRAGRUDET MTU 1007 will provide block training as required.

e. Training Pipelines. No changes are required to existing pilot and NFO pipelines. Organizational and intermediate level maintenance training tracks and courses listed under follow-on training are available in the OPNAV Aviation Training Management System (OATMS).

I. ON-BOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING

1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development

a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP) is used to establish an effective and efficient training system responsive to fleet training requirements. MTIP has been replaced by Aviation Maintenance In-Service Training (AMIST).

b. Aviation Maintenance In-Service Training. AMIST is intended to support the Fleet training requirements and will function as an integral part of the new Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS) that will replace the existing aviation maintenance training structure. AMIST will provide standardized instruction to bridge the training gaps between initial and career training. With implementation of AMIST, technicians will be provided the training required to maintain a level of proficiency necessary to effectively perform the required tasks to reflect career progression.

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

d. Operator Proficiency Training. Fleet pilot and NFO personnel maintain their proficiency in the F-14 Aircraft through the use of simulators and in-aircraft flights. Aircraft OFTs, MTs, and WSTs provide a cost-effective method that allows aircrews to simulate flight conditions to develop team coordination, practice weapon delivery, and simulate emergency procedures in a safe environment. In-aircraft flights allow aircrews to apply procedures practiced in the simulator in the actual flight environment. Actual in-aircraft missions are used to practice air combat maneuvers and weapon delivery procedures. An F-14A Training Device (TD), the 2F95 OFT, is located at NAF Atsugi, Japan, to allow pilots and NFOs assigned to that remote site to maintain their proficiency in flight procedures, specifically, out-of-control flight and Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) checks. In addition, desktop trainers are available from the Commander, Fighter Wing, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, for squadron use.

Note: The F-14B Upgrade modifications, LANTIRN installation, and EGI installations are being accomplished at NADEP Jacksonville and Northrup-Grumman, St. Augustine, Florida.

2. Program Documentation. There are several Integrated Logistic Support Plans (ILSPs) covering the F-14 and its related programs.

The ILSP for the F-14A Aircraft and F-14B Aircraft, ILSP P-30A-115 Revision VIII, was last updated and distributed in September 1994.
The F-14D ILSP, AC-ILSP-412 is dated June 1994. The F-14B Upgrade ILSP, AC-ILSP-382 Revision A, is dated October 1996.
The F-14 Precision Strike ILSP, AC-ILSP-F-14/LANTIRN, dated 30 October 1995, provides Integrated Logistic Support information related to the LANTIRN system.
The EGI System ILSP, EGI Logistic Support Plan is dated 26 July 1995.

3. Technical Data Plan. All F-14A technical manuals have been updated to include the F-14B and are available in the fleet. F-14D technical manuals are complete and are in place at user activities. F-14 technical publications are updated through the Technical Publication Deficiency Reporting System. Updates take the form of complete manual rewrites, page changes, or rapid action pen and ink changes. Technical manual upgrade packages for the F-14B Upgrade Aircraft and related systems technical manuals are being prepared and will be provided to the Navy for reproduction and further distribution.

4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment. Existing support equipment and avionics test equipment available in the Navy inventory is used wherever possible. New support equipment and test equipment was procured as a result of an ongoing Logistics Support Analysis. The delivery of support equipment was concurrent with delivery of the first aircraft. Test Program Sets were updated for test equipment mentioned in Section H.2.b. F-14B Upgrade and related systems use existing support equipment. The LANTIRN Targeting Pod will be maintained by the EOTS/BRITE.

5. Repair Parts. As a mature program, F-14 Aircraft parts are in stock and under the control of Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP). NAVICP assumed supply support of F-14D unique parts and spares on the Material Support Dates (MSDs), which were achieved sequentially as follows: March 1994, AN/APG-71; November 1994, AN/AYQ-15; and May 1995 for all other contractor furnished equipment. F-14B Upgrade Aircraft have achieved both MSD and NSD in November 1999.

K. SCHEDULES

1. Installation and Delivery Schedules. Previous planning sited the F-14A on both coasts and at NAF Atsugi, the F-14B on the east coast, and the F-14D on the west coast. However, with military downsizing, this concept has changed. The F-14 Aircraft Program has experienced several changes during this period of downsizing. All F-14 fleet squadrons but one are now located at NAS Oceana, and deploy to both coasts. One squadron is located at NAF Atsugi. The total number of active duty squadrons was reduced in FY97 from 14 to 12 with further reductions scheduled for FY01 through FY08. While individual F-14 squadrons will maintain current manning levels for a Primary Aircraft Assigned (PAA) of 12 aircraft, the type commanders are authorized to deploy F-14 squadrons with ten aircraft. The capability to surge deployed F-14 squadrons to 14 aircraft will be maintained. The table below displays the total number of F-14 squadrons by type/model/series aircraft over the next seven years. (Part II of this NTSP depicts composite squadrons that include F-14 Aircraft.)

4. Foreign Military Sales and Other Source Delivery Schedule. There are no current FMS requirements for the F-14 Aircraft. As FMS requirements become known, information will be included in this NTSP.

5. Training Device and Technical Training Equipment Delivery Schedule. TDs and Technical Training Equipment (TTE) for the F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D Aircraft are located at VF-101, MTU 1007, and NAF Atsugi. During FY97, selected F-14 TDs and TTE located at NAS Miramar were transferred to NAS Oceana and RFT in February 1997.

Two F-14B Upgrade TDs were in the F-14D to B conversion program combining two older TDs, the 2F112 WST and 2F153 MFT, into one 2F169 WST/MFT. The F-14B Upgrade 2F169 WST was delivered in February 1997 and was RFT in August 1999. The F-14B Upgrade 2F169 MFT was delivered in October 1997 to be RFT in December 1999.

Two new F-14B Upgrade IWSMTs were delivered to MTU 1007 and several existing TDs were modified to support new F-14 programs and systems. The first new F-14B Upgrade IWSMT was RFT in July 1997 to support F-14B Upgrade training courses. The second F-14B Upgrade IWSMT was RFT in March 1998; it was modified to operate in the F-14A configuration and replaced the old F-14A IWSMT at NAS Oceana. Modifications to two F-14 TDs for Precision Strike LANTIRN are depicted in the table below. For additional information, refer to Part IV.A.1 for TTE and Part IV.A.2 for TDs.
