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. Funding provides weapon system modifications and upgrades to meet USAF mission requirements for the LC/C-130H fleets. 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. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C-130 Airlift Squadron weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2021 $0.803 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 $1.000 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
