C-130H MUOS/SATURN Radio

Abstract

Funding for this effort changed from Project 672030, C-130H MUOS/SATURN Radio to Project 675250, C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 2 in FY23. The development and fielding of the MUOS/SATURN Radio program will be executed under the AMP Increment 2 program via the incorporation of the ARC-210 radio. The ARC-210 radio addresses future Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS)/integration issues and incorporates the MUOS/SATURN capabilities. The funding is required for the Non-Recurring Effort associated with integration, testing, TO's, Engineering drawing's, TKI, VKI, and spectrum authorization. The C-130H MUOS/SATURN Radio program modifies up to 134 C-130H USAF-owned aircraft consisting of H3s, H2.5s, H2s, and LC-130H aircraft. The modification effort will have up to three prototype aircraft representative of variations in the mission designs and required for accomplishment of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase with the remaining aircraft modified in the production phase. 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. The program may also include any Contractor Manpower Equivalent (CME)/A&AS support deemed necessary to support the program objectives. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C-130H MUOS/SATURN Radio 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 $0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2022 $0.000 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
