Description
Description — C-130J Mods
The C-130J is a medium-size transport aircraft capable of performing a variety of combat delivery (tactical airlift) operations across a broad range of mission environments. The C-130J aircraft, with its extended (by 15 ft) fuselage, provides additional cargo carrying capacity for the USAF combat delivery mission compared with legacy C-130E/Hs and the C-130J (short). Other variants of the USAF C-130J fleet are all short-bodied aircraft and include the WC-130J (weather reconnaissance), HC-130J (combat search and rescue), MC-130J (special operations), and the AC-130J (close air support and armed reconnaissance). 7 EC-130Js have been repurposed: 2 now ground trainers, 2 back up inventory, 1 test asset, and 2 are being converted to C-130Js and will be used at the C-130J School House. To date there have been 303 USAF C-130J variant deliveries. Variants include 149 C-130J; ten (10) C-130J (short); ten (10) WC-130J; 39 HC-130J; and, 95 MC/AC-130J. The designed service life is 35 years and the average service life remaining is C-130J 22.0 years, C-130J (short) 9.4 years, WC-130J (11.3 years), AC/MC/HC service life remaining is reported in the HC/MC Modifications P-Doc. Funding may be used to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues. In FY 2026, the center wing box replacement program continues with the installation of enhanced service life (ESL) center wing kits and the procurement of ESL kits. Since Nov 2009, all production C-130Js have been delivered with the ESL center wing. In order to better manage the fleet and to avoid simultaneously supporting three separate aircraft configurations (Block 6, Block 7 and Block 8.1), Blocks 7.0 and 8.1 have been combined into one aircraft modification program. This way the aircraft and trainers will only have to be modified one time. The Block 8.1 mod includes Block 7.0 content. Block 8.1 includes ADS-B Out and Mode V IFF as well as 34 additional capabilities. In order to meet the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 2020 mandate, the USAF installed the Block 8.1 ADS-B Out/Mode V IFF solution on all C-130J variants not scheduled to receive Block 8.1 by January 2020. Block 8.1 was cut into production with the FY20 C-130J A/C. This funding includes Rapid Global Mobility (RGM) platform related activities including but not limited to fielding actions. NOTE: USMC KC-130Js and USCG HC-130Js are following USAF's lead and will also field combined Block 7/8.1 aircraft. Funding for this exhibit is contained in PE 0401132F and PE 0401897F.
