The MC-130E Combat Talon I (CT-I) aircraft, is an operational system, consisting of several component
systems. The aircraft performs missions that require terrain following navigation, sensors, electronic
warfare/electronic countermeasure and communications systems. Due to the criticality of the CT-I mission,
the navigation and sensor systems must be extremely accurate. Data from several sources is continuously
combined using Kalman filters in the mission computer to update the aircraft's present position.

|
The MC-130E CT-I program software was supported by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works (LMSW) under the direction
of Warner Robins-Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) until the government developed an organic support capability.
Engineering responsibility for the software is supported by WR-ALC.

| |
| The major functions of the MC-130E CT-I system are as follows: |
|
- Compute and maintain aircraft position, velocity and altitude
- Provide the Navigator with a set of standard calculations
- Perform mission data management
- Determine content of the Control Display Units (CDU)
- Determine Radar/Nav presentation on the Digital Scan Converter
- Provides Terrain Following and/or Terrain Avoidance Capabilities
- Redundancy checks and reliability monitoring of critical components
