Budget estimate

$500,000,000 – $2,000,000,000

The contract is an IDIQ spanning 26 years with a large annual student load; comparable Army aviation training IDIQs have been valued between $500 million and $2 billion over the full performance period. Assuming average annual spend of $20 million‑$40 million (covering aircraft acquisition, maintenance, instructor salaries, facilities, and support services) the total budget range would be roughly $500 million to $2 billion. Factors influencing the range include the final aircraft fleet size, level of innovation (simulators, digital curriculum), and optional training options.
