C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 1
Abstract
The C-130H AMP Increment 1 program performs modifications to meet airspace compliance and safety mandates; the mod includes automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) Out, enhanced Mode S, 8.33 kHz radios, and cockpit voice recorder/digital flight data recorder (CVR/DFDR). RDT&E efforts will include but not be limited to design, integration, developmental and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, Initial Spares, Peculiar Support Equipment, Type 1 training and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and courseware development efforts (including MODE 5 effort for the trainers). Obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) issues will be resolved with solutions that may include life of type buys or bridge buys. DMS efforts to include removal of end of-life software/hardware within simulators systems and move to a modular, common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Implement requirements and standards defined under the Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) initiative. The C-130H AMP Increment 1 program modifies 176 aircraft (170x C-130Hs and 6x LC-130Hs) consisting of H3s, H2.5s, H2s and H1s; and includes 131 Air National Guard aircraft, and 45 Air Force Reserve aircraft. Potential of up to an additional 4 production kits (not included in the funding line) for National Science Foundation aircraft. The modification effort will have up to 6 prototype aircraft representative of variations in the mission designs and required for accomplishment of the C-130H AMP Increment 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. The remaining aircraft will be modified in the production phase.
