  • Draft Navy Training System Plan N88-Ntsp-A-50-8501B/D
    DRAFT NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN FOR THE AGM-65F IMAGING INFRARED MAVERICK MISSILE N88-NTSP-A-50-8501B/D MAY 1998 Enclosure (1) N88-NTSP-A-50-8501B/D AGM-65F IMAGING INFRARED MAVERICK MISSILE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Air Force is the Executive Service for development of the AGM-65 Maverick Missile System series. In October 1978, the Air Force began engineering development of the Air Force Imaging Infrared (IIR) Maverick AGM-65D, and in 1980 the Navy started development of the Navy AGM-65F IIR Maverick utilizing a modified IIR tracker from the Air Force AGM-65D Guidance and Control Section (GCS) and the Center-Aft Section (CAS) from the Navy AGM-65E. The AGM-65F IIR Maverick Missile is currently in the Operational Support Phase of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. The AGM-65F IIR Maverick Missile is designed primarily for use against targets requiring instantaneous or delayed blast fuzing for destruction of hardened ground and waterborne targets during day or night operations and in adverse weather conditions, with sufficient standoff range to permit limited exposures to terminal defenses. The IIR Maverick does not replace any weapons in the current inventory. The IIR Maverick does not affect current manning levels or existing Navy Enlisted Classification codes and Marine Corps Military Occupational Specialties. Manpower requirements at the organizational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance activities are based upon total workload requirements for a specific work center, and the skills needed to perform maintenance on the systems supported by that work center. The IIR Maverick operator training is provided at the appropriate Fleet Readiness Squadrons for P-3C pilot and Naval Flight Officer personnel, for F/A-18 pilot and Weapons System Officer personnel, and for AV-8B pilots.

    Captain Timothy J. Duening Vice-Commandant Captain Duening is a native of Eagle River, Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Geography in 1984. He entered Aviation Officer Candidate School and was commissioned in July 1986. Immediately following commissioning, he began flight training and was designated a Flight Officer in October 1987. In May 1988, after completion of P-3 Fleet Replacement Squadron pilot training at Patrol Squadron THIRTY (VP-30) in Jacksonville, Florida, Captain Duening joined Patrol Squadron ELEVEN (VP-11) in Brunswick, Maine and subsequently completed deployments to Keflavik, Iceland and Sigonella, Sicily. During this tour he was designated a P-3C Patrol Plane Tactical Coordinator, Instructor TACCO and Mission Commander.

  • S-3B Aircraft N88-Ntsp-A-50-8310D/D January 1998
    DRAFT NAVY TRAINING SYSTEM PLAN FOR THE S-3B AIRCRAFT N88-NTSP-A-50-8310D/D JANUARY 1998 Enclosure (1) N88-NTSP-A-50-8310D/D S-3B AIRCRAFT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The S-3B Aircraft is a modified S-3A Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft, with increased ASW and new Anti-Surface Warfare capabilities through improvements to various mission avionics and armament systems. Between July 1987 and July 1991, all east coast S-3A Aircraft were modified by a contractor field team at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, Florida. In March 1992, a contractor field team at NAS North Island, California, began modifying west coast S-3A Aircraft to the S-3B Aircraft configuration and completed modifications in September 1994. The S-3B Aircraft is in Phase III, Production, Fielding, Deployment, and Operational Support phase of the Weapon System Acquisition Process. In fiscal year 1992, ten aircraft S-3B squadrons were reduced to six aircraft. In 1993, aircraft assets for deployed squadrons were increased to eight, to meet increased operational requirements caused by retirement of the A-6E from the Navy inventory. All S-3B squadrons are currently configured and manned for eight aircraft. Support of the S-3B Aircraft peculiar equipment was developed under current equipment and S-3 Aircraft maintenance plans. Interim support was provided by the equipment vendors. Maintenance is conducted at three levels (organizational, intermediate, and depot) as established by OPNAVINST 4790.2F. Overall squadron manpower requirements remain unchanged. Intermediate level maintenance billets are assigned to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) Sea Operational Detachments.

In 2013, the first P-8 squadron prepared for deployment; and this year, the 100th P-8 was delivered to the Navy. When we visited in 2016, the Navy was in to only three years of deployment and the partner of the P- 8, the Triton, was not operating as it is today in the Pacific. During the 2016 visit, we got a clear sense of how the fighting Navy was re-calibrating to deal with the new strategic context, in which it was spearheading the new generation ISR and anti-submarine fight.
