Proposal Statement
It is the recommendation of the National Guard Association of California that the NGB, the DoD, and the Congress of the United States to provide additional funding for modernization of C-130 Cockpit Display Units Program in the ANG C, EC, HC, MC –130; KC-135, KC-10, C-17, C-5, HH-60 aircraft in the FY2015 Defense Appropriation Bill and beyond until complete
Recommendation Information
Air National Guard (ANG) C-130, KC-135, C-17 aircraft require a Central Display Unit (CDU) to transfer imagery and
position their avionics to be in line with the Variable Avionics Access Program that HQ AMC is proposing to improve available
processing power, and replace aging flight instruments. The CDU will directly connect to the avionics and provide pilots with the
ability to securely transfer data Joint Tactical Air Controller (JTAC) taskings, and updated target area imagery. The ability to transfer
data and video is critical for rapid coordination with ground units during all missions and with Command and Control (C2) assets
during time sensitive and emerging target operations. Expanding CDU with an Integrated Broadcasting Service (IBS) capability
allows aircrew to receive real-time data from national sources through the display while providing en-route threat warning.
Furthermore, the CDU contains additional processing capacity that allows for the manipulation of data external to the aircraft
Operational Flight Program (OFP). This additional processing capacity provides pilots with the ability to insert mission planning data
pre-mission, while opening low cost pathways for the integration of new capabilities without the costly and time consuming
process of changing the aircraft OFP software. Pilot selectable display options will provide electronic instrument flight displays
(attitude, performance, and navigation) when required. CAF 301-01-B, F-16C/D Block 25/30/32 MSIP ORD, 15 Dec 2004; ARC 2012
WEPTAC Critical Requirement. Combatant Commander’s Urgent Operational Need dated 26 Sep 2008; ARC 2014 WEPTAC Critical
If Not Funded. Pilots will remain unable to transfer imagery with ground controllers, exploit the improved image quality of next
generation avionics in order to increase situational awareness, and rapidly integrate emerging technologies, degrading their ability
to effectively execute all missions.Units Impacted: - 106 RQW Gabreski, NY - 136 AW Carswell JRB, TX - 165 AW Savannah IAP, GA -
