C-130 Airlift Squadron
Abstract
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, studies and risk reduction efforts, 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 course ware development efforts and other efforts necessary to fulfill program requirements. 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, studies and risk reduction efforts, trial kit buy and installation, technical order development validation and verification, spares and peculiar support equipment in support of trial kit installs, Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) development, type 1 training and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and course ware development efforts, and other efforts necessary to fulfill program requirements. The MUOS radio funding is required for the Non Recurring Effort associated with integration, testing, TO's, Engineering drawing's, TKI, VKI, spectrum authorization, and Group A and Group B kits to support 19 aircraft. This funding includes Rapid Global Mobility (RGM) platform related activities including but not limited to fielding actions. Funds in FY 22-24 are required to fund additional LRIP unique C-130H aircraft requirements. This funding includes Rapid Global Mobility (RGM) platform related activities including but not limited to prototyping, capability development, process activities, planning analysis and systems engineering activities. 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. The program may also include any Contractor Manpower Equivalent (CME)/A&AS support deemed necessary to support the program objectives. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. 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.
