C-130J Super Hercules Program Status and Fast Facts Super
June 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.

Britain and the Development of Professional Security Forces in the Gulf Arab States, 1921-71: Local Forces and Informal Empire
Britain and the Development of Professional Security Forces in the Gulf Arab States, 1921-71: Local Forces and Informal Empire by Ash Rossiter Submitted to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies February 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Abstract Imperial powers have employed a range of strategies to establish and then maintain control over foreign territories and communities. As deploying military forces from the home country is often costly – not to mention logistically stretching when long distances are involved – many imperial powers have used indigenous forces to extend control or protect influence in overseas territories. This study charts the extent to which Britain employed this method in its informal empire among the small states of Eastern Arabia: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the seven Trucial States (modern day UAE), and Oman before 1971. Resolved in the defence of its imperial lines of communication to India and the protection of mercantile shipping, Britain first organised and enforced a set of maritime truces with the local Arab coastal shaikhs of Eastern Arabia in order to maintain peace on the sea. Throughout the first part of the nineteenth century, the primary concern in the Gulf for the British, operating through the Government of India, was therefore the cessation of piracy and maritime warfare. -

C4isr Procurement Opportunities in Kuwait
C4ISR PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN KUWAIT c4isr.iqpc.ae The Middle East currently faces a wide range of both symmetrical and asymmetrical threats ranging from active and potential conflicts to terrorist and criminal enterprise activities, civil unrest and others. Given the severity and diversity of this evolving threat landscape, it’s essential that GCC government and military institutions have the means to track, identify and respond to such threats in a strategic and timely manner. Like many of its fellow GCC member states, Kuwait is currently pushing the rapid expansion and modernisation of its armed forces. Critical to these efforts is the procurement and integration of C4ISR technologies and solutions that will provide Kuwait’s army, navy, air force, national guard and government agencies with the means to achieve an early warning against myriad threats and then respond to them accordingly, armed with all the data necessary to gain a clear and accurate tactical overview of any developing situation. The following list of C4ISR procurements are by no means exhaustive, they are merely representative of the heightened investment drive Kuwait is undertaking in C4ISR to secure the edge it needs in today’s complex and uncertain threat landscape. Upcoming and recently announced C4ISR procurement deals for Kuwait INTEGRATED DEFENSIVE ELECTRONIC KAF HORNETS UPGRADED WITH SNIPER COUNTERMEASURES SYSTEMS FOR KUWAITI ADVANCED TARGETING PODS AIRCRAFT Procurement deal value: $485 million Procurement deal value: $24.5 million Technology/solutions -

Rather than having normal day-to-day activi- ties or combat commitments at the front of their minds, the world’s air forces, armies and navies had to rapidly react and adapt to the health crisis as it swiftly swept the globe after emerging in China’s Wuhan province. Ordinarily tasked with transporting person- nel and equipment in support of military op- erations, strategic and tactical transport aircraft were re-assigned to more critical sup- ply flights, delivering personal protective equipment, medicines and ventilators from locations including China and Turkey.
