C-130 CNS/ATM

Abstract

With the FY13 PB's cancellation of the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), the Minimize C-130 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) option provides minimal airspace compliance focused program to modify 178 C-130H aircraft with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment, 8.33 kHz radios, updated cockpit voice and digital flight data recorders, and Enhanced Mode S. The 178 aircraft Minimize C-130 CNS/ATM program is comprised of H3s, H2.5s, H2s and H1s; and includes 28 Active Duty, 102 Guard, and 48 Reserve aircraft. The modification effort will be completed in three phases: Phase A updates to 8.33 kHz radios on 150 aircraft (28 modifications previously accomplished on the H1s); Phase B modifies cockpit voice and digital data recorders (CVR/DVR) for 178 aircraft; Phase C relates to ADS-B Out and Enhanced Mode S modifications. Phase C will have 4 prototype aircraft required for accomplishment of the ADS-B Out Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, with the remaining 174 being production aircraft. The prototype aircraft represent each type of C-130H configuration listed above.
