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 7.0/8.1 into a HC-130J, provides program capability updates, studies, and integration with other HC, MC and AC unique modifications. The HC/MC Block 7.0/8.1 program follows the same "Block Upgrade" strategy being used in the C-130J program (PE 0401132F). The USAF will be fielding the IFF Mode 5 and ADS-B Out portions of Block 7.0/8.1 ahead of the remaining 36 capabilities in order to comply with the 2020 mandates. The Block 7.0/8.1 fleet modification program begins in FY 2019. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver HC/MC-130 Recap Program weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605278F. HC/MC RDT&E permits the initiation and employment of rapid acquisition authorities to respond to emerging threats and requirements as needed.
