Textron Aviation Defense announced in coordination with the Kanematsu Group that the Beechcraft T-6 Texan II Integrated Training System (ITS) has been chosen to modernise pilot training for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). Japan will join 14 other nations that have selected the T-6 Texan II, adding to a fleet of more than 1,000 T-6 aircraft delivered worldwide.
The JASDF is modernising its training programme with an integrated solution featuring T-6 Texan II trainer aircraft, a comprehensive Ground Based Training System, training for instructor pilots and aircraft maintainers and longterm logistic and sustainment support. The Beechcraft T-6 Texan II will replace the Fuji/Subaru T-7 aircraft that has been the JASDF’s basic trainer for many years. The T-6 Texan II was selected after a highly competitive and thorough evaluation of training solutions offered by several bidders. Finalisation of the contract is expected in 2025.
