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, development and operational test, trial kit buy and installation, technical order development validation and verification, peculiar support equipment and spares in support of trial kit installs, SIL development, type 1 training, and C-130H aircrew and maintenance training systems and courseware development efforts. The C-130H AMP Increment 2 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.
