C-5 REPLACE MULTIFUNCT CONTROL AND DISPLAY (RMCD)

Abstract

The C-5M Replace Multi-functional Controls and Display (RMCD) program is a modification to mitigate the obsolescence of the current control and display units. The RMCD program is also a comprehensive effort to ensure appropriate RMCD Line Replaceable Units (LRU) are developed and installed on the C-5M allowing aircraft operation in accordance with civil airspace access mandates for both US National Airspace System (NAS) and international civil airspace. This effort centers on modifying the current display units to support legacy inputs and integration of new system capabilities with margin for growth by upgrading displays power solution. Use of mixed displays (current and new) is not permissible due to obsolescence and human factors considerations. This modification may include software development, data, cyber security, testing, installation, spares, Systems Integration Lab (SIL), prototypes, and other program support activities. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS). The modification helps to maintain aircraft availability as the new multi-functional controls and displays replaces the current controls and displays. Funding supports studies and analysis, risk reduction efforts, Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), program support costs, change orders, and other government costs such as travel, directorate support, government furnished equipment (GFE), and over and above costs. Current RMCD funding required for development activities through FY26. RMCD experienced delays during integration of monitors with existing aircraft software that required purchase and incorporation of Lockheed Martin proprietary software. Initial procurement funds not required until FY 2026. 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
