This C-130 Airlift Squadrons Program Element contains three project codes: C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), C-130 AMP Phase II and C-130 Initiatives. C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) will modernize the avionics suites & cockpit configurations for 221 Combat Delivery C-130s in order to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) & the FAA's mandated Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/ Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) and AF Nav/Safety mandates. C-130 Initiatives is for new requirements not covered by C-130 AMP or C-130 AMP Phase II. C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Phase II will modernize the avionics suites & cockpit configurations of 74 AC/EC/MC/LC-130 Special Mission aircraft and 28 Combat Delivery C-130s to meet the CNS/ATM and AF Nav/Safety mandates. The FY11 funds will enable initial contract award for risk reduction efforts. This program intends to leverage design efforts completed under AMP Phase I. AC-130U and MC-130H/W will require SOF-unique capabilities integrated within AMP Phase II. Funds for these will be provided in Major Force Program-11 (MFP-11) and are not shown here. BA7- This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full-rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
