C-130J Super Hercules: Enhanced Situational Awareness

From the highest landing strip in the world to austere, unprepared runways, the C-130J goes where other airlifters can’t, won’t or don’t go. It’s a proven workhorse that’s the airlifter of choice for 26 operators in 22 nations around the world, supporting any mission whenever and wherever it calls.

Unrivaled Versatility

One aircraft, many missions ... no aircraft in history or operation today can match the C- 130J’s 18 certified, diverse, multi-mission capabilities. These capabilities are either built as a production variant or can be provided through a roll-on/roll-off configuration, providing additional resources with a short turn around installation time.
