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, studies and risk reduction efforts, 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), program office support and other efforts necessary to fulfill program mandates and requirements. 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 up to 176 C-130H USAF-owned aircraft consisting of H3s, H2.5s, H2s,H1s and LC-130H aircraft. The modification effort consists of four prototype aircraft representative of variations in the mission designs and required for accomplishment of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase with the remaining aircraft modified in the production phase. This funding includes Rapid Global Mobility (RGM) platform related activities including but not limited to prototyping, capability development, process activities, planning analysis and systems engineering activities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver AMP Increment 1 weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. The program may also include any Contractor Manpower Equivalent (CME)/A&AS support deemed necessary to support the program objectives.
