As the prime contractor for the U.S. Air Force Avionics Modernization Program Increment 2 (AMP INC 2), L3Harris is updating avionics for the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve fleet of C-130H aircraft with a proven, cost-effective avionics solution to improve mission reliability and reduce pilot workload.
The team recently achieved several major milestones, including the first flight and delivery of the first set of prototype aircraft for developmental and operational testing. The milestone paves the way to wrap up the development phase of the program and move into production to field to the war fighter. The C-130H is a versatile aircraft used for a wide range of operational missions.
“These upgrades represent cost effective, reliable improvements to the aircraft’s avionics. It is the result of countless hours of meticulous planning, testing and collaboration,” said Sean Ling, General Manager at the L3Harris Waco facility. “It also symbolizes our commitment to safeguarding our nation and its people. With its advanced capabilities and unmatched performance and the L3Harris team behind it, the AMP 2 platform will ensure the safety of our skies for generations to come.”
The AMP INC 2 program provides a significant upgrade allowing for continued operational effectiveness of the C-130H and allows this workhorse to be ready and operational for any mission, anywhere and anytime.
