C-130H Rehost, Flight Model, and Control Loading

Customer: Lockheed Martin

Contracting Agency: Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Wright-Paterson AFB

User: U.S. Air Force

This award was to provide new computational technology (rehosts) to 11 (eleven) C-130 Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs) at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, McChord Joint Base, Washington, Minneapolis Air National Guard (ANG) Minnesota, and Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB), Georgia.

This contract was with Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training was a follow-on contract to ASI’s C-130 Electric Control Loading (ECL) and Aero Upgrade for 10 (ten) ATDs  – and was based on ASI’s highly successful business practices and on-time delivery capabilities.

The combination of these two programs provided state of the art computational system with a new Flight Dynamics model and Primary Flight Controls updates to meet the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Level C performance for the C-130H training community for the first time.

These programs required the design, development, integration, and test of new control loaders, new flight models, and new computational systems.
