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 include but are not limited to, design, integration, development and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, spares and peculiar support equipment in support of trial kit installs, 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 simulator 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 currently modifies 176 aircraft (166x C-130Hs and 10x LC-130Hs) consisting of H3s, H2.5s, H2s and H1s; and includes 131 Air National Guard aircraft, and 45 Air Force Reserve aircraft. The modification effort will have 4 prototype aircraft representative of variations in the mission designs and required for accomplishment of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase with the remaining 172 aircraft modified in the production phase. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C-130H weapon system capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F.
