C-130 Airlift Squadron

Abstract

C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) RDT&E funding has been deleted as a result of proprosed program cancellation in the FY13 PB. However, Congress added $10M RDT&E in FY13 and $47.3M RDT&E in FY14 to continue C-130 AMP. The "Optimize" Legacy C-130 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) program was a new start in FY13 in-lieu-of C-130 AMP, and provided CNS/ATM solution for 176 C-130H aircraft, addressed select obsolescence issues, and retined the navigator position. The "Minimize" C-130 CNS/ATM program replaced the "Optimize" program in FY 14, and is an airspace compliance focused program to modify 184 C-130H aircraft with 8.33 kHz radios, cockpit voice and digital flight data recorders, Enhanced Mode S, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment. 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.
