## Summary

Project 671307 — C-5 REPLACE MULTIFUNCT CONTROL AND DISPLAY (RMCD) requests $47.5M in FY2027, 62% of the $76.2M requested for program element 0401119F, up 95% on FY2026. 1 R-2A activity decomposes the request. Lockheed Martin is the largest named R-3 performer at $34.7M, 73% of the project's FY2027 R-3 total.

## What project 671307 buys

The C-5M Replace Multi-functional Controls and Display (RMCD) program is a modification to mitigate the obsolescence of the current control and display units. The RMCD program is also a comprehensive effort to ensure appropriate RMCD Line Replaceable Units (LRU) are developed and installed on the C-5M allowing aircraft operation in accordance with civil airspace access mandates for both US National Airspace System (NAS) and international civil airspace. RMCD is a program that will replace the current seven legacy multi-function display units with four updated displays for the pilot, copilot, flight engineer, and a display shared by the pilot and copilot. This effort centers on modifying the current display units to support legacy inputs and integration of new system capabilities with margin for growth by upgrading the displays' power solution. Use of mixed displays (current and new) is not permissible due to obsolescence and human factors considerations. This modification may include software development, data, cyber security, testing, installation, spares, Systems Integration Lab (SIL), prototypes, and other program support activities. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS). The modification helps to maintain aircraft availability as the new multi-functional controls and displays replaces the current controls and displays. Funding supports studies and analysis, risk reduction efforts, Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), program support costs, change orders, and other government costs such as travel, directorate support, government furnished equipment (GFE), and over and above costs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation.

### C-5 Replace Multi-Functional Controls and Display

**FY2027 planned work.** Continuing EMD activities, to include development, test and evaluation, and requirement and design reviews.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** Funding increased due to larger scope of RMCD software and processor efforts.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Performing design, test, and analysis of alternate hardware concepts informing requirements, technical, and risk assessments.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
