EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Navy Training System Plan for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) provides
an estimate of manpower, personnel, and training requirements to support the employment concept
developed for the JHMCS. The JHMCS program is an Acquisition Category III, Joint USN/USAF
program with the USAF as the Lead Executive Service. The program is currently in the Production and
Deployment phase of the Defense Acquisition System (DAS). Contact Naval Air Systems Command,
Program Manager Air (PMA) 202D for information regarding Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
The JHMCS is a helmet mounted cueing and display system which, in conjunction with the AIM-
9X Sidewinder missile system, provides a high off-boresight capability for United States Navy (USN) and
United States Air Force (USAF) tactical fighter aircraft. This capability gives the warfighter first-look,
first-shot, air-to-air, and air-to-ground weapons and sensor cueing that allows eyes out of the cockpit
targeting within the visual range arena. The JHMCS has produced major improvements in Pilot situational
awareness, with good overall system accuracy, faster target acquisition, and less exposure time.
The JHMCS is currently being developed and planned for integration with the F/A-18E/F and the
F-15 with Boeing as the prime contractor, and the F-16 and F-22 with Lockheed Martin. System
integration with the F/A-18C/D is projected to be part of an Operational Safety Improvement Program
beginning in FY04. Vision Systems International is the development subcontractor.
The JHMCS will have a two-level maintenance concept with minimal intermediate level work-
request maintenance. Navy Aircrew Survival Equipmentmen (PR), Aviation Structural Mechanics (Egress)
(AME) with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 8341/8841, and Aviation Electronics Technicians (AT)
with NEC 8341/8841 will maintain the JHMCS. Based on the operation and maintenance concepts
explained herein, it is estimated the JHMCS will not increase or decrease existing F/A-18 manpower levels
for the AME and AT ratings; however, additional PR manning is projected to be required. JHMCS will be
operated by the Pilots of the respective aircraft.
The JHMCS training program will consist of initial and follow-on training for operator and
maintenance personnel. Fleet Air Introduction/Liaison Survival Aircrew Flight Equipment Team and the
prime contractor will provide initial operator, maintenance, and cadre training. Pilot training for the
JHMCS will be integrated into the existing follow-on Pilot training syllabus of the F/A-18. Maintenance
training for AMEs and ATs will be integrated into the existing follow-on Naval Aviation Maintenance
Training Unit (NAMTRAU) courses. Follow-on maintenance training for PRs will be integrated into the
existing PR Class A1 course at the Naval Air Technical Training Center.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Operational Uses. The JHMCS is a helmet mounted cueing and display system which,
in conjunction with the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile system, provides a high off-boresight
capability for United States Navy (USN) and United States Air Force (USAF) tactical fighter
aircraft. This capability gives the warfighter first-look, first-shot, air-to-air, and air-to-ground
I-1
weapons and sensor cueing that allows eyes out of the cockpit targeting within the visual range
arena. The JHMCS has produced major improvements in Pilot situational awareness with good
overall system accuracy, faster target acquisition, and less exposure time.
2. Foreign Military Sales. JHMCS will be made available for Foreign Military Sales
(FMS). All current and future FMS users of the F/A-18 are potential users of the JHMCS.
Contact Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) Program Manager, Air (PMA) 202D
for further information regarding FMS.
E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. Developmental Test (DT)

using an F/A-18C was conducted in October 1998, and Operational Test (OT) was conducted in
August 1999 in conjunction with the AIM-9X Missile OT-IIA. Initial Operational Assessment
(OA) was completed in January 2000 and was conducted at the Naval Air Warfare Center
Weapons Division (NAVAIRWARCENWPNDIV) China Lake, California, by Air Test and
Evaluation Squadron (VX-9). The JHMCS was found to be potentially operationally effective,
but potentially not operationally suitable due to low reliability issues with the In-Line Release
Connector (IRC).
The first series of DT and OT using the F/A-18E/F began in February 2001 at Naval Weapons
Test Squadron (NWTS), NAVAIRWARCENWPNDIV China Lake, and Naval Air Warfare
Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIRWARCENACDIV), Patuxent River, Maryland. Operational
Test and Evaluation (OT&E) began in October 2001, and is being conducted concurrent with
F/A-18E/F Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E)-1. Results of ongoing testing
will be incorporated into future updates to this NTSP.
F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. No

existing weapon system, equipment, or program is being replaced by the JHMCS.
G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
1. Functional Description. The JHMCS is a display system used to display cueing

symbology for navigation, weapons, and sensors at high off-boresight angles. The JHMCS is
comprised of the following components:
° Helmet Display Unit (HDU)

° Helmet Vehicle Interface (HVI)
° Electronics Unit (EU)
° Cockpit Unit (CU)
° Magnetic Transmitter Unit
° Control Panel (CP)
° Seat Position Sensor (SPS)
Each of these Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA) is described below.

a. Helmet Display Unit. The HDU is the complete assembly that is made up of
the following components:
° Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)

Assembly
° Relay Optics Assembly
° Magnetic Receiver Unit (MRU)
° Camera
° Automatic Brightness Control
(ABC) Sensor
° Up-Look Reticles (Puppers)
° Visor Assembly
° Universal Connector
The HDU is connected to the helmet shell through a universal connector, and has a
built-in hinge pivot that allows symbology to be projected onto the Pilot’s visor and fold clear of
the visor assembly when the visor is retracted.
(1) Cathode Ray Tube Assembly. The CRT provides the various
symbology to be projected onto the visor assembly over the Pilot’s right eye. The CRT
incorporates a lightweight housing that attaches to the Relay Optics Assembly using a quarter-
I-3
turn locking flange. A CRT Electrical Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM)
and a CRT make up the remainder of the CRT assembly. The CRT EEPROM contains the serial
number, elapsed time, fault log, and electron beam correction data. Each of these components is
permanently bonded to the overall CRT assembly. The CRT assembly has one electrical
connector and weighs 2.3 ounces.
(2) Relay Optics Assembly. The Relay Optics Assembly contains four
lenses and two mirrors within a lightweight plastic housing. It provides the optical transmission
of the symbology image produced by the CRT assembly onto the visor assembly.
(3) Magnetic Receiver Unit. The MRU is a miniature version of the

Magnetic Transmitter Unit. The MRU receives the transmitted magnetic signal from the
Magnetic Transmitter Unit and provides a signal to the electronics unit Line-of-Sight (LOS)
module. The signal is used to determine the LOS and position of the Pilot’s head. It contains
three coils that represent the X, Y, and Z axes of the system.
(4) Camera. The Camera is monochromatic with the same 20° field-of-
view as the HDU. A video signal is transmitted between the EU and the Camera by way of the
HVI. The EU combines the Camera image (Pilot’s view) with the displayed symbology for
recording purposes.
(5) Automatic Brightness Control Sensor. The ABC Sensor senses

ambient light and adjusts the CRT brightness to maintain a constant display contrast ratio.
(6) Up-Look Reticles. The Up-Look Reticle assemblies provide a pair of

symbols known as “puppers”. When selected, using Hands On Throttle And Stick (HOTAS), the
puppers are used for high off-boresight targeting. The Up-Look Reticles are not adjustable, and
the reticle projected is 27.5° above and 30° left or right of the eye.
(7) Visor Assembly. The Visor Assembly provides two functions. First, it
provides the Pilot with protection from the sun and wind. Second, it provides a surface for
symbology to be presented. The Visor can be rotated back over the top portion of the helmet. A
locking device is used in both the retracted and deployed Visor positions to make sure the Visor
does not move.
(8) Universal Connector. The Universal

Connector allows the HDU to be removed from the helmet, and
provides a means to attach non-JHMCS visors and Night Vision
Goggles (NVG) to the helmet system. The Universal Connector does
not make provision for combined, simultaneous HDU and NVG use.
b. Helmet Vehicle Interface. The HVI provides the electrical cabling between
the aircraft avionics and the helmet, and is divided into two segments, the Upper and Lower
HVIs. The voltages and electronic signals required for HDU operation pass through this cable.
The Upper HVI is routed through the helmet and terminates at the Quick Disconnect Connector
(QDC), which provides the interface between the Pilot and the aircraft. The Upper HVI contains
I-4
the Universal Connector, the Helmet Release Connector (HRC), and the top half of the hip-
mounted QDC. The Lower HVI is mounted in the aircraft to the Pilot’s left and provides the
interface between the QDC and the CU/EU. The Lower HVI contains the bottom half of the
QDC and the IRC. A stowage bracket is also installed in the aircraft to provide stowage of the
Lower HVI QDC when it is not mated with the Upper HVI.
(1) Helmet Release Connector. The HRC provides a one-time disconnect

break point that allows the helmet to leave the Pilot’s head cleanly in the event of helmet loss
during ejection.
(2) Quick Disconnect Connector. The QDC is the daily use connector
and provides the primary disconnect during ejection or emergency ground egress. A lanyard
mounted to the aircraft disengages the QDC locking mechanism during ejection or emergency
ground egress.
(3) Quick-Release Mounting Bracket. The

Quick-Release Mounting Bracket (QMB) is attached to the pilot’s
torso harness to absorb the shock load produced by the Upper HVI
disconnecting from the Lower HVI at the QDC during ejection and
egress instead of imparting the load to the Pilot’s head or neck. It
includes a low intensity magnet that activates a switch in the QDC
providing a confirmation Built-in Test (BIT) on the pilot’s display
when the QDC is properly seated in the QMB.
(4) Inline Release Connector. The IRC is located on the left-hand

console, and provides a one-time back up disconnect should the QDC fail to release during an
ejection.
c. Electronics Unit. The EU consists of four unique electronic cards (power

supply, line-of-sight module, graphics processor/display driver, and central processor cards). The
Mission Computer interfaces with the EU via the mux bus. The EU is installed in the 3C
Equipment Bay for the single-seat aircraft and the left-hand console of the aft seat for the two-
seat aircraft.
d. Cockpit Unit. The CU consists of a High Voltage Power Supply that

generates the high voltage power needed for the CRT display in the HDU.
e. Magnetic Transmitter Unit. The Magnetic Transmitter Unit generates an

Alternating Current magnetic field in the cockpit. The Magnetic Transmitter Unit is mounted on
the canopy sill of the aircraft. The MRU in the HDU receives the magnetic field produced by the
Magnetic Transmitter Unit. The MRU then passes the received signal to the EU to determine the
helmet position and orientation in the cockpit.
I-5
The JHMCS Cockpit Mapper maps the cockpit magnetic characteristics during
installation or subsequent maintenance action, and the
resulting cockpit magnetic map is stored in the Magnetic
Transmitter Unit and EU. Each cockpit magnetic map is
unique to that individual aircraft. Relocating or removing
metal from the cockpit changes the cockpit magnetic field
and may impact the accuracy of the Helmet Mounted Display
(HMD). Pilot equipment (including sidearm) does not
impact accuracy due to the location of the equipment relative
to the tracker.
f. Magnetic Transmitter Unit Support. The Magnetic Transmitter Unit

Support provides a stable non-metallic platform to attach the Magnetic Transmitter Unit to the
canopy rail.
g. Control Panel. The CP provides On-Off and Brightness control of the

JHMCS. The brightness knob replaces the Map Gain knob on the spin recovery panel for the
Radar set. The CP light plate is also replaced to correctly label the HMD brightness knob.
h. Seat Position Sensor. The SPS is a small WRA mounted to the ejection seat
bucket. This sensor provides the JHMCS with a reference of seat position to determine helmet
position within the cockpit. Removal of the ejection seat bucket is required to remove and
replace the SPS.
i. HGU-55A/P Modified Helmet Shell. The lightweight configuration of the

HGU-55 Type Helmet provides the mounting platform for the HMD and protects the Pilot from
high impact and wind loads during ejection and egress. The helmet follows basic HGU-55 design,
but is constructed of aramid and carbon fiber. It also includes an integrated chin and nape strap
assembly and occipital bladder for Combat Edge compatibility. Modifications also include a
cutout for the Universal Connector in the top front of the helmet, and a modified nape to
accommodate the Upper HVI cable entrance.
j. Oregon Aero Aviation Helmet Upgrade Kit. The Oregon Aero Aviation
Helmet Upgrade Kit includes the ZetaLiner™ Helmet Liner, SoftSeal™ Ear Cushions, Softskin™
Ear Seal Covers, and HushKit™ Passive Earcup Noise Attenuation Foam. The ZetaLiner™
Helmet Liner provides significant improvement in impact energy absorption and is lighter than
other approved liners for the HGU-55A/P. Testing during OT showed significant improvements
in overall helmet comfort and fitting.
The ZetaLiner™ Helmet Liner is composed of Confor™ foam sewn into cool,
washable, wear-resistant fabric. The SoftSeal™ Ear Cushions are composed of Confor™ foam
core and covered with washable synthetic leather. The HushKit™ Passive Earcup Noise
Attenuation Foam improves noise attenuation and intelligibility and is most effective in the 2000-
6000 Hertz range.
I-6

3. New Development Introduction. The JHMCS is being included in 548 F/A-18E/F

Aircraft. Lot 24 and subsequent will be forward fit at the Boeing assembly line. Lot 23 is being
delivered with provisions for the JHMCS. Lots 21 and 22 may be part of a future retrofit
program, with the date to be determined. Current planning calls for the F/A-18C/D to be part of
an Operational Safety Improvement Program (OSIP) beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 04. The Type
Commander will deliver aircrew helmet components to the operational squadrons. Contact the
Deputy Assistant Program Manager for Logistics (AIR 3.1.4.3) for further information regarding
retrofit programs.
Contact NAVAIRSYSCOM (PMA202D) for information regarding Initial Operational

Capability (IOC). IOC will be achieved with the first F/A-18E/F Lot 24 deployment.
4. Significant Interfaces. The JHMCS provides off-boresight cueing of weapons and

sensors in Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground modes. The system interfaces with the aircraft to
provide the Pilot with the capability to visually cue weapons and sensors to the helmet LOS.
Feedback of the weapon and/or sensor line-of-sight is also provided for target verification.
Aircraft state information such as altitude and airspeed is also provided. Specific F/A-18E/F
weapons, systems, and equipment that JHMCS interfaces with are as follows:
° AIM-9X
° Cockpit Video Recording System (CVRS)
° Mission Computer System
° Stores Management System
° AN/APG-73 Radar
° ALR-67(V) Radar Warning Receiver
° NACES Ejection Seat
° Advanced Tactical Forward Looking Infra Red
° AN/AVS-9 Night Vision Goggles
° Existing and Future Laser Eye Protective Devices
° Navy Combat Edge Anti-Gravity Flight Ensemble
I-7
° MBU-24/P22P-16 Enhanced Pressure-Demand Oxygen Mask
° PCU-56/P Series Parachute Restraint Harness Assembly
5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. JHMCS represents significant advances

in weapon system targeting technology, and capitalizes on advances in electronic miniaturization,
magnetic resonance technology, and head-up display optical imaging.
H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept. The JHMCS provides air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons

and sensor cueing that allows eyes out of the cockpit targeting within the visual range arena. The
current deployment concept calls for Pilot operation only in the Navy F/A-18E/F. However, the
JHMCS design provides for future inclusion of two-seat integration and operations on F/A-18F.
The operational concept for the F/A-18C/D OSIP mirrors the F/A-18E/F.
2. Maintenance Concept. General direction and guidance concerning the maintenance

concept for the JHMCS is provided by the established Naval Aviation Maintenance Program
(NAMP), Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790.2 series. The
NAMP prescribes the concept of three levels of maintenance: organizational, intermediate, and
depot. The NAMP also prescribes the classification of maintenance requirements for functional
complexity, assignment to the maintenance level that has the resources to effectively and
economically accomplish the maintenance action, and an organizational structure for the
collection of data for program management.
Interim maintenance will be required until Navy organic support is fully achieved. The
JHMCS is primarily designed on an organizational to depot level maintenance concept, with
minimal intermediate level maintenance capability. Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) and
Aviation Structural Mechanic (Safety Equipment) (AME) personnel with Navy Enlisted
Classification (NEC) 8841 or 8341 are required for JHMCS on-aircraft organizational level
maintenance. Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (PR) personnel are required for JHMCS off-
aircraft (aircrew equipment) organizational level maintenance. The maintenance concept for the
F/A-18C/D OSIP mirrors the F/A-18E/F.
Organizational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance responsibilities vary according

to component, and are as listed in the following table.

a. Organizational. The operating squadron performs JHMCS organizational
level maintenance daily in support of its own operation. These actions encompass inspections,
build-up, and fitting of aircrew equipment, handling, performance verification testing, and fault
isolation to the defective WRA, and removal and replacement of WRAs or major aircraft
components.
Additionally, the JHMCS has self-test capability and diagnostic capability with BIT
functions in the aircraft components, as well as a stand-alone in-shop external test set. The stand-
alone Helmet Mounted Display Test Set (HMDTS) is designed to verify the functionality of the
JHMCS HMD during pre-operational checks, and operates in conjunction with a Personal
Computer (PC) compatible desktop or laptop computer. In addition to running BIT, it also
contains a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor for real-time verification of helmet camera
operation.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance consists of pre-

operational testing, and removal and replacement of the Upper HVI and QDC grommets every 90
days, using standard hand tools and special contractor provided tools.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. Organizational level personnel use BIT for

primary fault isolation to a WRA. Faulty WRAs are removed and replaced using standard hand
tools and special contractor provided tools. Some larger WRAs and components (i.e., ejection
seat, canopy, etc.) that interface with the JHMCS require the use of non-complex Support
Equipment (SE). The faulty WRAs and components are then forwarded to the supporting
Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) or contractor depot for repair.
(3) Initial or Replacement Issue Maintenance. Initial or replacement

issue maintenance consists of the initial build-up assembly, fitting, and incorporation of technical
directives during initial or replacement issue of aircrew equipment components. Squadron PRs
perform initial or replacement issue maintenance using standard and special hand tools, shop
equipment, and non-complex SE, calipers, and locally manufactured alignment tools.
b. Intermediate. JHMCS intermediate level maintenance actions performed in

support of organizational activities by AIMD include purging of the Relay Optics Assembly, and
electromagnetic mapping of the cockpit area following aircraft canopy removal and replacement.
Personnel in the Aviation Electrician’s Mate (AE) or AT ratings in the 600 Division work center
with night vision system capability will perform Relay Optics Assembly purging on a work request
from the squadron. Additionally, AT personnel in the 600 Division will perform CRT removal
and replacement installation on a work request from the squadron due to Electronic Sensitive
Device considerations.
c. Depot. The depot level of maintenance supports lower levels of maintenance

by providing logistics and engineering assistance, and performing maintenance that is beyond the
capability of the lower level activities. The manufacturer will provide depot services and
accomplish depot level maintenance during the Interim Maintenance period. The Joint Organic
Depot for the JHMCS is scheduled to open in FY07.
I-11
JHMCS depot level maintenance actions performed in support of organizational
activities include electromagnetic mapping of the cockpit area following aircraft canopy removal
and replacement. The cockpit mapping requires that the aircraft be leveled. The procedure is
primarily performed ashore due to the intricacies of the Cockpit Mapper equipment and criticality
of the aircraft set-up. However, a test aircraft was successfully mapped aboard ship during
OT&E. Current planning is for the Cockpit Mapper and required common support equipment to
be pre-positioned at the following select shore stations:
° Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore, California

° NAS North Island, California
° NAS Oceana, Virginia
° Naval Station Rota, Spain
° NAS Sigonella, Sicily
° Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan
Final selection of shore facilities and placement of required support equipment will
be accomplished with the concurrence of the TYCOMs. Depot personnel will perform cockpit
mapping on a work request from the squadron. Squadron personnel will provide aircraft
preparation set-up and disassembly assistance, including aircraft jacking. Contact Naval Aviation
Depot (NADEP) North Island (45500) for more information regarding the cockpit mapping
procedure.
d. Interim Maintenance. A five-year interim support period has been

established for the JHMCS since September 2001. During this period, discrepant WRAs
identified by the squadron will be returned to the vendor for repair. Interim support will continue
until full Navy organic support is achieved with the establishment of the Joint Organic Depot.
The Navy Material Support Date (MSD) is anticipated in fourth quarter FY04.
e. Life Cycle Maintenance Plan. NA
3. Manning Concept. The introduction of JHMCS into the Navy inventory will not
increase or decrease existing F/A-18 manpower levels for the AME and AT ratings; however,
additional PR manning will be required. A manpower analysis was initially conducted in March
2000 by the NAVAIRSYSCOM (AIR 3.4.1) and updated in March 2001. Factors governing the
manpower requirements for the JHMCS include maintenance task length in man-hours, task
frequency, and number of aircrew and aircraft per squadron. Incorporating the JHMCS for the
Weapon System Operator in dual-seat aircraft would be an additional factor involved in
manpower requirements for future applications. Tasking considered in the manpower analysis
only include those tasks that represent additional tasking beyond current squadron workload.
Specific maintenance requirements identified in the manpower analysis having potential for
significant manpower impact for PRs are:
° Visor Trimming Procedure for Initial and Replacement Issue

° IPD Alignment upon HDU Swap
I-12
° Fault Isolate Helmet, HDU, and Upper HVI
° Functional Test for Troubleshooting
° Repair HDU by Removal and Replacement of Visor
The prime contractor convened a joint Industry-Government team to study the JHMCS
fitting process in April 2001. The purpose of the fit study was to identify and implement ways to
minimize the impact of the fitting process on manpower requirements by reducing the overall time
required to complete an initial or replacement issue. The preliminary results of this study appear
to be very promising in reducing the overall time to fit the JHMCS to individual pilots. While any
amount of reduction in required maintenance time is beneficial to manpower issues, it appears that
the reductions will be insufficient to offset the need for additional manning in the F/A-18E/F
squadron environment. However, it is very likely that they will be sufficient to offset a portion of
the additional manning originally estimated for the F/A-18C/D OSIP program.
The Estimated Maintenance Man-Hours per Flight Hour model was calculated for all
models and series of the F/A-18, and distinguished between single- and dual-seat, Fleet Readiness
Squadron (FRS), and operational fleet squadron applications. Information for the F/A-18E/F is
presented in this iteration of the NTSP. Information for the F/A-18C/D OSIP will be included in
updates to this NTSP as the results of the helmet fit study are validated during OT&E. This table
will be updated as the JHMCS is made available to other platforms. No new NECs will be
established to support the JHMCS at this time.

4. Training Concept. The contractor delivered difference training curriculum materials

to Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 1038 Naval Aviation Maintenance Training Unit
(NAMTRAU) Lemoore, California, in conjunction with the Interactive Electronic Technical
Manual (IETM) delivery schedule in August 2001.
a. Initial Training. The primary method of providing Aviation Life Support

Systems (ALSS) initial training is for the Fleet Air Introduction/Liaison Survival Aircrew Flight
Equipment (FAILSAFE) Team to visit each site, including other training activities, to provide
indoctrination to aircrew and maintenance personnel. These FAILSAFE Teams receive their
training either from the manufacturer or the development activity. The FAILSAFE Team for the
JHMCS received their training from the contractor during Fleet Introduction Training in March
2001. As the JHMCS is introduced into the fleet, PR personnel will receive on-site maintenance
indoctrination from FAILSAFE Teams.
(1) Operator. Flight Test Training consists of two hours of classroom

training, followed by two hours of flight simulator training per Pilot to familiarize the flight test
aircrews with the operational and safety issues associated with JHMCS. Flight Test Training for
the F/A-18C has been completed. Flight Test Training for the F/A-18E is currently being
conducted under contract by the Boeing Company in St. Louis, Missouri.
Boeing provided JHMCS Aircrew familiarization training to Naval Weapon

Test Squadron, VX-9, and NAVAIR personnel prior to the start of JHMCS DT-IIB and OA test
phases. Boeing will also provide training prior to F/A-18E/F FOT&E-1 to support the JHMCS
OT&E phase of this test. Test Pilot training has previously included and is expected to continue
to include instruction via a Microsoft PowerPoint® briefing with follow-along workbook notes
and hands-on practice in the F/A-18E/F dome simulator at Boeing facilities.
(2) Maintenance. The prime contractor will conduct difference training

coinciding with aircraft delivery for transitioning squadrons and NAMTRAU Lemoore, as part of
the F/A-18E/F Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) III Training Contract. Refer to elements
III.A.1 and IV.B.1 of this NTSP for additional information regarding initial maintenance training
I-14
schedules. FAILSAFE Teams will conduct initial maintenance indoctrination for PRs. MTU
1038 NAMTRAU Lemoore will conduct initial training for AMEs and ATs.
b. Follow-on Training
(1) Operator. Follow-on fleet operator JHMCS training material is being

developed on contract concurrently with the final phases of JHMCS testing. The course materials
are currently in final stages of development and delivery is anticipated in third quarter FY02. A
Training Development Team consisting of test and fleet operators has been organized and is
performing as the primary review body for JHMCS fleet representative training material and initial
course outline development. Products being developed include:
° F/A-18E/F JHMCS Interactive Courseware (ICW)

° Initial Tactical Recommendations
° JHMCS Pilot Briefing
° Initial JHMCS Pilot Familiarization Flight Syllabus
These training products will provide fleet representatives with the training
material required following OT&E and also develops initial fleet training subject matter experts
prior to JHMCS entering into service. The following table lists the members of the Training
Development Team:

(2) Maintenance. Three organizational level F/A-18E/F NAMTRAU

courses will have the JHMCS curriculum added to the existing syllabus. The AT (Initial) pipeline
course C-102-9977 in training track E-102-0623 and the AT (Career) pipeline course C-102-9978
in training track E-102-0624 will incorporate the JHMCS with an increase of approximately 14
hours of classroom training time. When aircraft become available to the NAMTRAU to facilitate
training, additional increases in training time will be expected to accommodate practical labs. The
AME pipeline course C-602-9980 in training track E-602-0664 will incorporate the JHMCS with
no expected increase in course length.
Additionally, NAMTRAU is in the process of developing a series of F/A-

18E/F (Difference) Organizational maintenance courses to accommodate squadrons transitioning
from the F/A-18C. The AT (Difference) pipeline course C-102-9979 in training track E-102-
0625 will incorporate the JHMCS.
NAMTRAU does not currently support aircraft specific follow-on

maintenance training for PRs due to the generic nature of most rating tasks and assigned NEC of
0000. Additionally, the JHMCS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) stipulates that the
JHMCS will be maintained within the current NEC structure. Since completion of NAMTRAU
courses generally awards an NEC, establishing a PR training track within the NAMTRAU is not
considered feasible since this would require the establishment of a new PR NEC.
The majority of ALSS organizational and intermediate maintenance

training for PR personnel is currently provided by C-602-2035, Aircrew Survival Equipmentman
Common Core Class A1. The Aircrew Survival Equipmentman Class C1 and F1 courses cover
specific intermediate maintenance training requirements and are not utilized for organizational
I-16
maintenance training. The JHMCS is currently limited to a single aircraft platform for the Navy,
the F/A-18E/F. Although aircraft specific training is generally considered to be beyond the
intended scope of the “A” school course concept, the JHMCS is being incorporated into the C-
602-2035, Aircrew Survival Equipmentman Common Core Class A1 course curriculum. Follow-
on training for current PR “A” school graduates for the JHMCS will be limited to an On-the-Job
Training (OJT) syllabus developed by STRIKEFITWINGPAC, and follow-up FAILSAFE Team
visits.
All current organizational level maintenance courses are in the process of

integrating Computer-Based Training with its basic elements of Computer-Managed Instruction
(CMI), Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI), ICW, and Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum
System (AMTCS) Electronic Modules into their curricula for classroom presentation and
management.

d. Training Pipelines. No new training pipelines or tracks were established to

support only JHMCS. Three organizational level F/A-18E/F NAMTRAU courses have the
JHMCS curriculum added. The AME pipeline course C-602-9980 in training track E-602-0664
incorporated the JHMCS with no increase in course length. The AT pipeline course C-102-9977
in training track E-102-0623 and the AT (Career) pipeline course C-102-9978 in training track E-
102-0624 incorporated the JHMCS with an increase of approximately 14 hours of classroom
training time. When aircraft training devices become available, additional increases in training
time will be expected to accommodate practical labs.
Additionally, NAMTRAU is in the process of developing a series of F/A-18E/F

(Difference) Organizational maintenance courses to accommodate squadrons transitioning from
the F/A-18C. The AT (Difference) pipeline course C-102-9979 in training track E-102-0625 has
incorporated the JHMCS.
I-21
I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING. Onboard training will be conducted via an OJT
syllabus locally developed by Strike Fighter Wing Pacific in accordance with current NAMP
policy.
1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development. AMTCS

will provide career path training to the Sailor or Marine from their initial service entry to the end
of their military career. AMTCS concepts will provide 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. Where appropriate, capitalizing on
technological advances and integrating systems and processes can provide the right amount of
training 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 CMI and CAI for the schoolhouse.
Included in the AMTCS development effort is the Aviation Maintenance Training

Continuum System - Software Module, which provides testing [Test and Evaluation], recording
[Electronic Certification Qualification Records], 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 data bank.
These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)
hardware and software, i.e., Fleet Training Devices - Laptops, PCs, Electronic Classrooms,
Learning Resource Centers (LRC), operating software, and network software and hardware.
Upon receipt of direction from OPNAV (N789H), AMTCS concepts are 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.
The Navy fleet aircrew training materials listed below are in final development by
Whitney, Bradley, and Brown, Inc., Vienna, Virginia. Members of the Training Materials
Development Team outlined in paragraph 4.b.(1) above will approve final deliverables for format
and content. In-process reviews are scheduled throughout the end of the OT&E phase.
Deliverables include:
° JHMCS System Briefing (Microsoft PowerPoint® Format with Notes Page Text)
° JHMCS Tactical Recommendations Briefing (Microsoft PowerPoint® Format with
Notes Page Text)
I-22
° Lesson Module based JHMCS/F/A-18E/F ICW (Authorware 5.1) to include the
following lesson modules:
- HMD Theory
- JHMCS Familiarization/System Description
- JHMCS Platform Integration
- JHMCS Operational Procedures/Tactical Recommendations
- JHMCS Degraded Operations
- JHMCS Safety
- JHMCS Lessons Learned
- HMD Threat Overview
- JHMCS ICW Test Module
° JHMCS TACMAN (Tactical Recommendations) Chapter (Boeing requested
format)
° JHMCS Flight Syllabus Structure and Content (NSAWC requested format)
Members of the contractor development team will be working with VX-9 as trusted agents
during the OT&E phase. This approach enables the contractor to collect JHMCS tactical employment
recommendations during the development process, which will facilitate final delivery of training
materials prior to JHMCS system fleet bed-down.

2. Program Documentation. The Joint Mission Need Statement (CAF 308-93) was
approved in January 1994. The Milestone A Acquisition Decision Memorandum was approved in
I-23
December 1994. The original Program Management Directive (PMD) #2302(4)/PE64201F) was
approved in January 1995. Subsequent PMDs were approved in January 1996 and in April 1996.
Both the USN and USAF approved the ORD (CAF-USN 308-93-II-A) in December 1996. The
current Single Acquisition Management Plan was approved in May 2000.
3. Technical Data Plan. Boeing developed on- and off-aircraft technical manuals for
both the USAF and the Navy. For the Navy, the on-aircraft manuals were assigned a Technical
Manual Identification Numbering System (TMINS) series number in the F/A-18 series manuals.
The off-aircraft manual was assigned the number NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-5, and was titled in the
Aviation Crew Systems Manual series. Additionally, the HMDTS operator instructions have been
incorporated into the off-aircraft manual. The modifications to the Torso Harness will be
incorporated through the Technical Directive process and added to the NA 13-1-6.2. All manuals
were delivered in electronic media in portable document format (PDF) compatible with Adobe
Acrobat Reader. On-aircraft manuals were delivered in IETM and PDF format. Delivery was
completed concurrent with the F/A-18E/F Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) in fourth quarter
FY01. Delivery of updates will continue as required.
4. Test Sets, Tools, and Test Equipment
a. Helmet Mounted Display Test Set. The JHMCS has one in-shop test set: the
JHMCS HMDTS. The HMDTS is a stand-alone test set capable of verifying the functionality of
the JHMCS HMD. It operates in conjunction with a standard PC via the supplied RS232 cable
and test software. Items supplied in the HMDTS include Unit Under Test (UUT) test cable,
RS232 cable, DB9 to DB25 adapter, power cable, and test software. Computer hardware
requirements include:
° PC
° Microsoft Windows 95/98 Operating System (See note)
° 16 MB of RAM
° 5 MB of Available Hard Disk Space
° One Available Serial Port
Note: The software has been tested with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 2000 operating systems and found to be compatible.
b. Aircraft Mapper Test Set. The JHMCS Aircraft Mapper Test Set is a stand-
alone test set that measures and records the magnetic resonance of the cockpit area in relation to
the seat. The cockpit is mapped at three different heights that correspond to the SPS height as
the seat is raised and lowered (full up, full down, and center of travel). The prime contractor is
currently assembling a listing of items that will be included with the Aircraft Mapper Test Set.
c. Tools. Contact Strike Fighter Wing Pacific for information regarding the
special tools listing. A table of Support Equipment, Common Tools, and Special Tools required
to support the JHMCS has been developed by the lead contractor, and is included in element
IV.A.1 of this NTSP.
I-24
5. Repair Parts. Provisioning action for the JHMCS repair parts will be accomplished by
the lead service. One Primary Inventory Control Manager will be established for all services. The
Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) will be a secondary inventory control authority for the
Navy. The MSD for NAVICP is anticipated by September 2004. The Technical Data Plans are
currently sufficient to support organizational level parts provisioning, but are insufficient to
support stand-up of the organic depot. All organizational level provisioning drawings have been
received from the contractor and approved by the government. The following table lists spare and
repair parts requirements.

6. Human Systems Integration. The JHMCS, by its very nature, is heavily reliant on
successful accomplishment of the human system interface. The Logistic Support Analysis has
addressed the Human Systems Integration elements of manpower, training, safety, personnel,
I-26
health hazards, human factors engineering, and survivability. All identified issues have been
addressed.

Note: Extra shipset assets will be retained by STRIKEFITWING in storage as ready spares to
enable 100% outfitting of squadrons during transitioning.
2. Ready For Operational Use Schedule. Since the JHMCS is being installed in the
production F/A-18E/F during aircraft assembly, the Ready For Operational Use (RFOU) date of
the JHMCS for a squadron will coincide with the delivery of the first aircraft to the squadron.
Aircrew equipment will be RFOU upon completion of assembly and aircrew fitting at the
squadron.
3. Time Required to Install at Operational Sites. The time required for JHMCS
helmet installation at the operational site is currently under final evaluation by VX-9 and the prime
contractor. Currently, the elapsed maintenance time required for installation is approximately 8
hours (one shift) with LRIP III visors. This information will be modified in updates to this NTSP
upon approval of the final maintenance plan produced from the Helmet Fit-Study Team.
Installation of aircraft components for the F/A-18E/F is accomplished on the assembly line
during production for Lot 24 and subsequent aircraft. Provisions for JHMCS were incorporated
into Lot 23 aircraft, and installation time does not exceed normal replacement installation time.
Lot 21 and 22 aircraft are not currently being considered for JHMCS installation.
4. Foreign Military Sales and Other Source Delivery Schedule. An FMS delivery
schedule is not currently available. Contact NAVAIRSYSCOM (PMA202D) for more
information regarding FMS.
5. Training Device and Technical Training Equipment Delivery Schedule. Current

planning calls for installation of four Weapons Tactics Trainers (WTT) in early FY03 at NAS
Lemoore. There are no current plans for a WTT installation at NAS Oceana. There are no
current plans for JHMCS to be incorporated in a Tactical Operational Flight Trainer (TOFT). A
comprehensive listing of Training Devices and Technical Training Equipment required for
NAMTRAU Lemoore and NATTC Pensacola is included Part IV of this NTSP.

PART II - BILLET AND PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS
The following elements are not affected by the JHMCS and, therefore, are not included in Part II of this NTSP:
II.A. Billet Requirements
II.A.2.a. Operational and Fleet Support Activity Deactivation Schedule
II.A.2.b. Billets to be Deleted in Operational and Fleet Support Activities
II.A.2.c. Total Billets to be Deleted in Operational and Fleet Support Activities
Note (1): The billets listed in this NTSP reflect only those required for operation and maintenance support of the JHMCS and
are not a reflection of the total squadron end strength.
Note (2): Operational Activity Billets listed reflect an increase in manpower requirements as recommended in Part I, paragraph
H.3.c.(2), beginning in the FY03 increment. This increase is projected and not listed in the source of schedule
(TFMMS) at this time. These projected, unprogrammed billets have been highlighted in gray for ease of
identification.
Note (3): Although Part II.A.1.a reflects the transition schedule through FY06, Part II.A.1.b contains phasing-in billet listings for
squadrons through the FY08 increment. Squadrons transitioning in FY09 and later will be addressed in future
iterations of this NTSP.
Note (4): Activity activation schedule coincides with the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Transition Plan 28 released in April 2001.
Note (5): Only squadrons receiving Lot 24 and subsequent (i.e., JHMCS capable) F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft are listed.
Note (6): The NTSP is not used to calculate Chargeable Student Billet Requirements for Class A1 schools due to fluctuations
in recruiting level requirements. Therefore, the PR “A” School course, CIN C-602-2035, is not included in Part II.A.4
of this NTSP and projected, unprogrammed billets do not impact the calculations in this section.
Note (7): The NTSP is not used to calculate Annual Training Input Requirements for Class A1 schools due to fluctuations in
recruiting level requirements. Therefore, the PR “A” School course, CIN C-602-2035, is not included in Part IIB of
this NTSP and projected, unprogrammed billets do not impact the calculations in this section.

PART III - TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
The following elements are not affected by the JHMCS and, therefore, are not included in Part III of this NTSP:
III.A.2. Follow-on Training
III.A.2.c. Unique Courses
III.A.3. Existing Training Phased Out
Note (1): The NTSP is not used to calculate training requirements for Class A1 schools due to fluctuations in recruiting level
requirements. Therefore, the PR “A” School course, CIN C-602-2035, is not included in Part III of this NTSP.
However, the initial cadre training being provided for the PR “A” School is included in Part III.A.1.
Note (2): The billets listed in Part II of this NTSP reflect only those required for operation and maintenance support of the
JHMCS and are not a reflection of the total squadron end strength. However, the source billets identified are those
required to completely calculate anticipated training requirements relating to JHMCS curricula. Single site training
for the F/A-18E/F platform and gradual phase-in of students coinciding with the aircraft transition schedule has been
taken into account.

IV.A.2. TRAINING DEVICES
DEVICE: TD-05 Avionics System MTS (MTS-1)

DESCRIPTION: This Training Device is an F/A-18E/F Avionics Maintenance Training Simulator, physically configured
to be an accurate replication of an F/A-18E single place crew station and forward fuselage. The
device provides a three-dimensional, realistic representation of the avionics WRA locations, and the
simulated forward fuselage provides realistic access to components and connectors. A common crew
station provides all related controls and displays. Discrepancies are simulated via computer controlled
interface instead of using pre-faulted modules. Installed components are non-functional mock-up
boxes instead of actual components. The device enables the instructor to simulate discrepancies on
multiple avionics systems as an instructional aid for effective troubleshooting techniques, and removal
and installation procedures.

DESCRIPTION: This Training Device is an F/A-18E/F Egress System Maintenance Training Simulator, physically
configured to be an accurate replication of an F/A-18E single place crew station and forward fuselage.
The device provides a three-dimensional, realistic representation of the NACES ejection seat, and the
simulated forward fuselage provides realistic access to components and connectors. A common crew
station provides all related controls. The device enables the instructor to simulate discrepancies on
NACES ejection seat systems as an instructional aid for effective troubleshooting techniques, and
removal and installation procedures. The device requires modification to incorporate only the SPS
assembly to accommodate the JHMCS.
