HC/MC-130 Recap
Abstract
HC/MC-130 Recapitalization will replace and augment the aging USAF fleets of combat rescue HC-130P/N and special operations MC-130E/P/H aircraft which are experiencing airworthiness, maintainability and operational limitations. The HC/MC RDT&E effort integrates Block 8.1 into a HC-130J, MC-130J and AC-130J, provides program capability updates, and integration with other HC, MC and AC unique modifications. The HC/MC Block 8.1 program follows the same "Block Upgrade" strategy being used in the C-130J program (PE 0401132F). A Block 8.X is planned to integrate future SOCOM-funded AC-130J/MC-130J capabilities with Block 8.1. The USAF will be fielding the IFF Mode 5 and ADS-B Out portions of Block 8.1 ahead of the remaining 36 capabilities in order to comply with the 2020 mandates. The Block 8.1 fleet modification program begins in FY 2019. 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.
