The aim of the Advanced European Jet Pilot Training System (AEJPT) Category B project is to develop a common Integrated Training System (ITS) to train future fighter pilots. This system will most likely comprise not only the aircraft but also the basing infrastructure including Ground Based Training, Academic Training, Mission Planning/Debriefing Systems and the logistics to support the full system. The AEJPT will be split in a minimum of two different locations.

The AEJPT will take into account that future operations will be characterised by the use of fighter aircraft in a network centric environment, with a combination of other air, naval and ground assets (including unmanned platforms). It will also contemplate new operational scenarios other than conventional war.

The AEJPT was adopted by EDA as a Cat B Project on February 2009; it is currently in a pre-contract phase. The EDA has released on behalf of the contributing Member States a Request for Information (RFI) to industry; once the assessment of that information is completed, it will be used as basis to build the AEJPT final concept and to contract to Industry the Development and Production of such a system.
