C-130J Super Hercules Program Status and Fast Facts Program Status
August 2021 C-130J Super Hercules Program Status and Fast Facts Program Status Super Hercules Advantages The C-130J Super Hercules provides significant performance improvements and added operational capabilities that translate directly into increased ground and air combat effectiveness. Some of these attributes include the ability to: • Operate out of 2,000 ft. long dirt strips in high mountain ranges. • Carry tons of supplies more than 3,000 miles and deliver “the last mile” to remote operating bases, keeping trucks off dangerous highways. • Perform in-flight refueling, ground fueling, weather reconnaissance, electronic warfare, medical evacuation, search and rescue, paradrop, maritime mission, special operations and many other missions. • Generate much greater operational efficiencies. The C-130J outperforms older C-130s in combat operations by at least a 2:1 margin. • Operate with only two pilots and one loadmaster for most missions, exposing fewer flight crew members to potential combat threats. • Demonstrate reliability that far exceeds most other military aircraft with average mission capable rates routinely in the 80-to-90% range.
