C-130H Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) Increment 2
Abstract
The C-130H AMP Increment 2 upgrades the C-130H fleet with comprehensive avionics and cockpit modernization which replaces aging unreliable equipment and adds combat capability enhancements. It also addresses select obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) issues 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. RDT&E efforts include but are not limited to software development, design, integration, developmental & operational test, trial kit buy and installation, technical order development validation and verification, Peculiar Support Equipment, Initial Spares, SIL development, Type 1 training, and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and courseware development efforts. The C-130H AMP Increment 2 program modifies a minimum of 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 an additional 4 production kits (not included in funding line above); for National Science Foundation aircraft. The modification effort will have up to 8 prototype aircraft representative of variations in the mission designs and required for accomplishment of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. The remaining aircraft will be modified in the production phase.
