@CONNORPRODUCTION It's a bird spear; they put it there so the pilot can, if he sees that a bird strike is imminent, stab the birds with the spear before they go into the engines.
Or not.
As torch said, it is an air data boom. It gets the measuring instruments out in front of the aircraft's pressure field.
Is that the pre-modernized version or an improved one? The (only) one I saw seemed to have much bigger (turbofan?) engines. I don't know much, obviously. 8-)
I was a FE on the C5A at Dover DE from 1970 thru 1980, the fechnology has been around since the early 90's to do this. It's about time they finally got around to foing this.

Its called a Pitot Tube. This measures airspeed, etc. In this case its extra large for test & evaluation.

@CONNORPRODUCTION It's for skewering enemy aircraft and bringing them home as trophies.
