C-130 Airlift Squadron

Abstract

Reflect funding for the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP); the FY15PB C-130 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) program; and the FY16 PB C-130H Viability and Airspace Access Program (VAAP) Increment 1 modification. Note, in the FY16 PB, the FY15 PB C-130 CNS/ATM program has been updated and renamed C-130H VAAP Increment 1. All of PE 41115F FY14 RDT&E funds ($47.7M--of which $47.3M is AMP and $0.4M is CNS/ATM) are loaded under the C-130 CNS/ATM program, and will be used to the execute the C-130H VAAP Increment 1 mod. The C-130 AMP RDT&E funding has been deleted as a result of proposed program cancellation in the FY13 PB. However, Congress added $47.3M RDT&E in FY14 to continue C-130 AMP. FY13 PB "Optimize" and FY14 PB "Minimize" C-130 CNS/ATM programs were proposed new start in-lieu-of C-130 AMP, and provided CNS/ATM solution for the legacy C-130H combat delivery fleet, addressed select obsolescence issues, and retained the navigator position. However, these new start programs did not receive congressional approval. FY15 NDAA and Appropiation Bill allow AF to use prior and current-year AMP funds (RDT&E and APAF) for safety and airspace compliance modification programs (i.e., the FY15 PB C-130 CNS/ATM program and FY16 PB C-130 VAAP Increment 1 mod). 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.
