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 RDT&E portion of the Recap program funds three major thrusts to include but not limited to Continuous Improvement Program, HC Block 7.0/8.1, and Governmental Test. The HC-130J Recap RDT&E effort integrates Block 7.0/8.1 into a HC-130J, provides program capability updates, studies, and integration with other HC-130J unique modifications. The HC-130J 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, ADS-B Out and Link-16 portions of Block 7.0/8.1 ahead of the remaining 36 capabilities in order to comply with the 2020 mandates. This program element includes 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 0605831F. HC/MC-130 Recap RDT&E permits the initiation and employment of rapid acquisition authorities to respond to emerging threats and requirements as needed.
