C-130 CNS/ATM
Abstract
With the termination of the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), this program provides a minimum Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) solution for the legacy C-130 combat delivery fleet, completes fleet modifications to meet calendar year (CY) 2020 FAA/European Air Traffic Management and Navigation Performance-1 (RNP-1)/Safety mandates required for flight beyond 2020, and addresses some obsolescence and Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS)issues. The 176 C-130 CNS/ATM program is composed of 80 H3s, 16 H2.5s, 52 H2s and 28 H1s; and includes 28 Active Duty, 100 Guard, and 48 Reserve aircraft. The program will have 4 prototype aircraft required for completion of EMD, with the remaining 172 being production aircraft. The prototype aircraft represent each type of C-130H configuration listed above. Current schedule is for the EMD contract to be awarded, following a competitive source selection, in the 2nd quarter of fiscal year 2014. Fiscal year 2013 will primarily be involved with initiating the program requirements and pre-contract efforts in preparation for the EMD source selection phase of the program.
