C-130J Program
Abstract
The C-130J is a medium-sized transport aircraft capable of performing a variety of combat delivery (tactical airlift) operations across a broad range of mission environments. The C-130J aircraft, with its extended (by 15 feet) fuselage, provides additional cargo carrying capacity for the USAF combat delivery mission compared with legacy C-130E/H and the C-130J (short). Special mission variants of the C-130J conduct airborne psychological operations (EC-130J), weather reconnaissance (WC-130J), search and rescue (HC-130J), and special operations (MC-130J and AC-130J). All aircraft variants must be capable of worldwide operations. This project provides RDT&E funding for required capabilities that are grouped as "Block" upgrades or "Capability" or Enhancement and Deficiencies (EnD) updates. Content/requirements for block modifications is documented in International Program Directives (IPDs) and as determined in the Cooperative Systems and Software Upgrade Requirements Management (COSSURM) prioritized requirements process. This project will integrate the common-core capabilities developed under this program into the C-130J. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C130J 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 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. "This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D”. 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.
