From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
T-48TS
was a
U.S. Navy
aircraft project, intended to replace the
T-39 Sabreliner
as part of the Undergraduate Military Flight Officer (UMFO) Multi-Place Aircraft Training System (MPATS).
Planned by the
Naval Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR), the T-48 Training System (T-48TS) was planned to consist of the aircraft, radar, a ground-based training system and curriculum, and life cycle support, initially for two years' time.
[1]
Solicited for proposals in 2003,
[1]
in 2004 the programme was deferred for further study.
[2]
The T-48TS is not to be confused with the earlier
Cessna T-48
, this being a rare case of a reused designation in the US system.
