C-130 Airlift Squadron

Abstract

The FY19 funding was reduced by $7.245M from "C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 1" to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The FY19 funding was reduced by $20.475M from "C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 2" to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. 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 cover design, integration, developmental and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, spares and peculiar support equipment in support of trial kit installs, 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, spares and peculiar support equipment in support of trial kit installs, Systems Integrated Lab (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. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C-130H weapon system capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. 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.
