Program Narratives
Description— C-130 MODIFICATIONS
The C-130 Modifications Line Item funds Special Operations-peculiar (SO-p) modifications and rapid fielding to various SOF models of the C-130 aircraft and associated training systems. The program comprises modifications generated from mission performance deficiencies, logistics challenges, and evaluation of emerging technologies. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) funds the procurement of SO-p systems such as electronic warfare and survivability, communications, situational awareness, training, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), weapons integration, and low-cost modifications into the SOF C-130 fleet. In FY 2025, funding requests transitioned from P-1 Line Item 5000C13000 / C-130 Modifications to P-1 Line Item 2012C130J / AC/MC-130J, as the USSOCOM currently only supports the AC/MC-130J aircraft.

The C-130 LCM has been designated a Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) at Milestone C, in accordance with the authority in DoD Directive 5135.02, the guidance in DoD Instruction 5000.85. The purpose of the MCA is to acquire low cost enhancements for AC/MC-130 systems and equipment to improve reliability and maintainability, correct deficiencies, address obsolescence, incorporate mission enhancements, and incorporate critical safe changes - all required to support global operations in diverse environments with varying threat levels. 1b. Simulator Block Upgrades (SBUD). The C-130 SBUD program modernizes and modifies C-130 aircrew and maintenance training device and capabilities by addressing concurrency, obsolescence, and fidelity training issues.
