C-5 Airlift Squadrons (IF)
Abstract
"The FY 2017 funding request was reduced by $10 million to account for availability of prior execution balances." 675358: The C-5 core mission computer (CMC)/Weather Radar modification project is a comprehensive sustainment modification to mitigate the obsolescence of the current CMC and weather radar. This effort centers on modifying the current mission computer by replacing core processing module (CPM) cards to obtain sufficient capacity to support integration of new system capabilities with margin for growth by upgrading module cards and correcting any mission essential deficiencies identified during development. Also, the effort includes replacement of the weather radar with a commercial off-the-shelf color weather radar. The modified mission computer will allow for current and future throughput growth of additional processing requirements to meet calendar year 2020 communication, navigation, surveillance/air traffic management mandates. 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. 675359: The C-5 communication, navigation, surveillance/air traffic management (CNS/ATM) modification project is a comprehensive effort to ensure appropriate system design architectures are developed and equipment is installed on the C-5 to allow aircraft operation in accordance with civil airspace access mandates for both the US National Airspace System (NAS) and international civil airspace. Additionally, the program will add equipment to meet outstanding National Security Agency mandates for encryption of voice communications. The C-5 CNS/ATM program ensures systems standardization and interoperability with other DoD systems to the maximum extent possible and directly supports airworthiness certification of the C-5. CNS/ATM requirements include, but are not limited to, capabilities such as automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast out (ADS-B Out), identification friend or foe (IFF) Mode 5, satellite communication equipment replacement, and beyond line-of-sight voice radio replacement. It is anticipated equipment will be predominately commercial off-the-shelf or non-developmental items. ADS-B Out is a next generation surveillance technology that transitions key aspects of Air Traffic Control from terrestrial based technologies to satellite enabled technologies to provide controllers a more accurate picture of aircraft positioning. Funding may be used to address the DMS issues. This program is a Budget Activity 7, Operations Systems 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 and subsequent fiscal years. 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.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY2015 funding was reduced by $7 million for higher AF priorities. The FY2016 funding was reduced by $20 million due to a Congressionally directed reduction for forward financing. The FY 2017 funding request was reduced by $10 million to account for availability of prior execution balances." The remaining $0.659M was reduced due to deflation.
