  • Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) Aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to Replace the Existing Fleet of T-38C Jet Trainers
    Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Updated September 18, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44856 Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Summary NOTE: This report was originally written by Ceir Coral while he was an Air Force Fellow at the Congressional Research Service. Since his departure, it has been maintained by Jeremiah Gertler of CRS. On September 27, 2018, the United States Air Force (USAF) awarded The Boeing Company a contract, worth up to $9.2 billion, to procure 351 Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to replace the existing fleet of T-38C jet trainers. The Air Force had originally valued the contract at roughly $19.7 billion. Information on the value of other competitors’ bids was not available. On September 16, 2019, Acting Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Donovan announced that in service, the T-X aircraft would be known as the T-7A Red Hawk. In this report, “APT T-X” will be used to identify the entire training system, while “T-7A” will refer to the aircraft portion of that system. The FY2020 Administration budget request included $348.473 million for the APT T-X. According to the USAF, the current T-38C trainer fleet is old, costly, and outdated, and lacks the technology to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighter and bomber operations. Based on Air Education Training Command’s evaluation of the required capabilities to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighters and bombers, the T-38C falls short in 12 of 18 capabilities, forcing the USAF to train for those capabilities in operational units where flying hours are costly and can affect fleet readiness.
