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, program office support 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, program office support and other efforts necessary to fulfill program requirements. The development and fielding of the MUOS/SATURN Radio program (Project 672030) will be executed under the AMP Increment 2 program (Project 675250). The MUOS/Saturn Radio program updates radios due to future DMS/integration issues and the incorporation of MUOS/SATURN capabilities. The funding is required for the Non-Recurring Effort associated with integration, testing, Technical Orders, Engineering drawing's, Trial Kit Installations, Verification Kit Installations, and spectrum authorization. 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. Project 672030, C-130H MUOS/SATURN Radio changed from C-130H MUOS Radio. 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 element 0605831F. 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.
