C-130 Airlift Squadron

Abstract

In FY 2017, C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 2 was a new start. The FY2018 funding was reduced by $13.700M from "C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 1" to account for the availability of prior year execution balances and adjust to the FY17 Program Office Cost Estimate. FY2018 funding for C-130H AMP Increment 2 was also reduced by $66.800M to adjust to the approved FY17 Program Office Estimate. The C-130H is a medium sized tactical transport aircraft providing multi-purpose theater support throughout the globe. The C-130H fleet supports several diverse Air Force roles, including but not limited to tactical and inter-theater airlift and airdrop support, Arctic resupply, special operations support, aeromedical evacuation, aerial spraying, firefighting duties, and natural disaster and humanitarian relief missions. C-130H AMP Increment 1 addresses modifications to meet airspace compliance mandates and safety requirements. RDT&E efforts will cover design, integration,developmental and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, Initial Spares, Peculiar Support Equipment, Type 1 training and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and courseware development efforts. C-130H AMP Increment 2 includes digital avionics upgrades (e.g. Flight Management System, improved navigation), cockpit modernization (e.g. glass/engine flight displays) and resolves select obsolescence and Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) issues. RDT&E efforts will cover software development,design, integration, developmental and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, technical order development validation and verification, Initial Spares, Peculiar Support Equipment, SIL development, Type 1 training and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and courseware development efforts. 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.
