Proposal Statement
Change item D to read, "APN-241 radar upgrade via Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) as an addition to current C-130 modernization requirements."
Recommendation Information
CRITICAL NEED FOR SUPPORT- The ANG C-130H/J fleet have several shortfalls in their ability to accurately deliver airdrop loads in combat in both Instrument and Visual Meteorological Conditions (IMC/VMC).
STATES IMPACTED - All ANG C-130 Aircraft at CONUS and OCONUS sites
MISSION CRITICAL NEED - The U.S. Army’s objective for airdrop accuracy is 50 meters circular error average, but traditional methods only provide 300-meter accuracy. Current Precision Airdrop (PAD) methods require multiple passes over the drop zone (increasing exposure to threat) for atmospheric calculations before dropping loads. This proposed VECP will improve the radar to perform with all this capability and reduce the cost of repair and sustainment significantly
DEPLOYMENTJUSTIFICATION - Targeting pods with light detection and ranging provide the necessary capabilities during VMC operations. 1Meter High Resolution Radar Imagery upgrades coupled with targeting pods and off-board cueing provide a highly accurate all-weather single-pass airdrop capability that can be used to support domestic and contingency operations
FUNDING JUSTIFICATION - Funding out of the Active Duty C-130 Systems Program Office Operations and Maintenance funds because it is an upgrade to the current radar installed on the aircraft
