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 updates radios due to future Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)/integration issues and incorporation of MUOS/SATURN radio capabilities. It also addresses select obsolescence and 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. Provides weapon system modifications and upgrades to meet USAF mission requirements for the C-130 fleet, to include LC-130Hs owned by the National Science Foundation (NSF), but operated and maintained by the Air National Guard (ANG) to meet USAF mission requirements. Unique NSF modification and upgrades designed to meet NSF requirements will be separately funded by the NSF. RDT&E efforts include but are not limited to software development, design, integration, development and operational test, studies and risk reduction efforts, 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, program office support and other efforts required to fulfill requirements. The C-130H AMP Increment 2 program modifies up to 155 C-130H USAF owned aircraft consisting of H3s, H2.5s, H2s,and LC-130H aircraft. The modification effort will have up to 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. The development and fielding of the MUOS/SATURN program will be executed under the AMP Increment 2 program. The MUOS radio funding is required for the Non-Recurring Effort associated with integration, testing, Technical Order's, Engineering drawings, Trial Kit Installations, Verification Kit Installations, and spectrum authorization. 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. The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $14.618 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances and other economic adjustments. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver the C-130 Airlift Squadron weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0.737M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY21 $0.803M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
