The Air Force is soliciting proposals to evaluate the electronic vulnerabilities of the C-130 weapon system family, specifically the EC-130J Commando Solos, EC-130J Super Js, and AC-130Js. A notice published on June 2 indicates that the service is conducting a market survey to identify companies capable of studying and developing solutions related to microelectronics, software, and algorithms to address obsolescence issues.

The project aims to enhance capabilities and improve performance, reliability, maintainability, and availability. The assessment will span a minimum of two years and will involve tabletop and red team assessments, a report with mitigation strategies, and investigations into electronic modifications.
