C-5 Block Upgrade
Abstract
675353: C-5 Block Upgrade: Purpose of this program is to provide a measured approach to implement a common baseline for the C-5 fleet and its training systems in order to allow insertion and integration of new/future capabilities and replacement of future unsupportable equipment. This program supports software (S/W) and hardware (H/W) baselines between legacy aircraft, Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) aircraft, and Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP) aircraft. C-5 AMP core processing platform has a total of two Core Processor Module (CPM) cards; C-5 RERP core processing platform has a total of three CPM cards. The AMP requirement is to have 50% spare processing and memory capability; CPM-1 and CPM-2, respectively, have only 22% and 19% throughput capability remaining. AMP throughput/capacity constraint does not allow for new/future capability and contributes to current computer problems. Failure to upgrade the AMP system to the 3 CPM RERP configuration will affect mission capable rates, will inhibit the ability to fix current Deficiency Reports (DRs), and will drive increased sustainment costs associated with S/W and H/W baseline divergence. This project is comprised of low technical risk efforts supporting fielded weapons systems and, therefore, was assigned to Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development.
