The Greyhound continues to provide carrier-on-board delivery of critical personnel and parts for the Navy's deployed aircraft battle groups. Current plans require the C-2A to perform its mission supporting battle group operational readiness through 2015. Sustaining worldwide Greyhound operations and readiness is possible through a combination of fleet fatigue life management and an ongoing managed service life extension program that includes weapon system modifications. C-2A Greyhounds with upgraded communications, navigation, instrumentation packages, and a Critical Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) will provide cost-effective, carrier-on-board delivery for the next 20 years. The current fleet of C-2A(R)s is scheduled for a Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) which will extend the life of the C-2 to year 2027. Since the introduction of the new C-2A in the 1980s there have been continued improvements and modifications for this aircraft. These aircraft will undergo an upgrade of navigational systems, including installation of a dual INS system called CAINS II. The installation of the Global Positioning System and Carrier Aircraft Inertial Navigation System have been completed or are planned in the very near future. The Greyhound continues to provide Carrier Onboard Delivery service between shore bases and carriers.
