C-130 VAAP INCREMENT 1
Abstract
In the FY16 PB, the FY15 PB New Start "Minimize C-130 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM)" program has been updated and renamed "C-130H Viability and Airspace Access Program (VAAP) Increment 1". With the FY13 PB's proposed cancellation of the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP), the C-130H VAAP Increment 1 program addresses Federal Aviation Administration/International Civil Aviation Organization (FAA/ICAO) CNS/ATM mandates and provides a minimal airspace compliance focused program to modify 172 C-130H aircraft with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment, 8.33 kHz radios, updated cockpit voice recorder/digital flight data recorders (CVR/DFDR), and Enhanced Mode S. Note, the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) is listed in the VAAP Capability Development Document (CDD) as a requirement since it's required for flight operations in airspace controlled by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and airspace controlled by foreign countries; the legacy C-130H fleet currently has TCAS II 7.0 installed. 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.
