C-5 Airlift Squadrons (IF)
Abstract
The C-5M carries outsized and heavy cargo (tanks, helicopters, etc.) between main operating bases. Additionally, the aircraft is capable of carrying 73 troops and 36 standard 463-L pallets. There are 52 C-5 aircraft in the Air Force fleet. The fleet was delivered to the Air Force between 1969 and 1989. Initial service life for the aircraft was 30,000 flight hours. Service life is extended out to 2040 as a result of the reliability enhancement and re-engining program (RERP) modification. C-5M RDT&E efforts are split into two main lines of effort: Project 671307 is the C-5M Replace Multi-functional Controls and Display (RMCD) program, a modification to mitigate the obsolescence of the current control and display units. Project 671308 has two major thrusts: one line for Next Generation Airlift (NGAL) Capability Studies; the other develops future solutions for needed upgrades to combat obsolescence, safety of flight, and reliability/availability/maintainability issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C-5 Modernization capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2022, $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2023 $0.000 million is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element. Funding will provide for program management & administration, studies and analysis, risk reduction efforts, Advisory and Assistance Services, change orders, and other government costs such as travel, directorate support, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), and over and above costs. Funding may also be used to fund studies and analysis for address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) or new family of system aircraft concepts. 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.
