1.0 Introduction

1.1 Scope

This System Requirements Document (SRD) defines the Government Systems Requirements for the C-130H Formation Positioning System (FPS). It includes technical requirements and characteristics for the FPS itself. Requirements for work and processes in the design, development, and maintenance of the FPS are contained in the C-130H Statement of Work (SOW).

1.2 Program Overview

The United States Air Force (USAF) must replace both the C-130H and C-130J Formation Positioning Systems (FPS) to address Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) issues as well as operating frequency interference from commercial 5G signals. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) no longer manufactures current C-130H/J FPS equipment due to DMS issues, and the recent auction of Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum to the 5G industry constrains C- 130 formation training and operations until the current systems are replaced and fielded.

Figure 1 shows the composition and position names for a C-130 formation. C-130 formations are made up of Elements, which have 2 aircraft each. Each element has 1 Element Lead and 1 Wing aircraft. Flights are made up of 2 Elements.

Figure 1 - C-130 Formation Composition

1.3 Document Overview

Section 2 is a list of documents referenced in the system requirements. The FPS System requirements are in Section 3.0. These requirements are managed within the FPS Systems Model and are exported into this document. The requirements use the templates from the Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS) for consistency and clarity. Section 4.0 contains definitions of requirements verification methods. Appendix A contains an acronym table, and Appendix B lists planned verification methods against each system requirement.

- Display a 12 second countdown timer to the start of the turn

- Display a 10 second coundown timer to the end of the turn

Current capability. When the desired turn arc and start of turn location is known, the FPS can adjust the formation deviation guidance during the turn. It is assumed that the lead aircraft will begin its turn when it sends an Execute FPS datalink message. The FPS determines the time to start the command at the same along-track location as the lead aircraft while maintaining cross-track offsets.
