XXX-XXX-XXXX MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN The USC Viterbi School of Engineering has embarked upon a mission to change the conversation about engineering- who we are, what we do and what we look like. In this process we have adopted the Grand Challenges of the National Academy of Engineering to guide our educational offer- ings and inform our research agenda. They cover goals such as Advance Personalized Learning, Engineer Better Medicines, Provide Access to Clean Water, Prevent Nuclear Terror. And they are all about using the discipline of engineering to materially improve the lives of people all around the world. But our changing of the conversation does not involve just targeting projects that will be undertaken but, more importantly, reframing the vision and purpose of the field of engineering. Adoption of these Grand Challenges serve to inspire and empower us as engineers. This is the same mission, shared with our Aviation Safety and Security Program, that on a daily basis strives to improve the knowledge and capabilities of those tasked with keeping us safe and making us safer in the world of aviation. It is a global challenge and becoming more so as international aviation becomes utilized by an ever higher percentage of the world’s population. The global nature of our Aviation Safety and Security Program mission is underscored by the student populations that attend our courses. Indeed, as world conditions evolve new countries discover our program to send their aviation safety professionals to attend our courses. In the past year, for example, the Hungarian Air Force has sent representatives of numerous disciplines to a multitude of our courses. They joined the armed forces of the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, the United States and many other countries in advancing the lessons of aviation safety into the world of military aviation. This is fitting and in agreement with the heritage of our program which began as a mutual program with the USAF in 1952 and expanded to NATO countries in 1959. USC strives to be the university of choice for future leaders from all over the world. The USC Aviation Safety and Security Program has made strong contributions to this effort, and will continue to do so in years to come. Yannis C.

  • 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.

    Lockheed Martin and Royal Danish Air Force Celebrate Debut of First Danish F-35 Aircraft April 7, 2021 FORT WORTH, Texas, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Danish and American officials celebrated the rollout of the first F-35A Lightning II for the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) today at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) in Fort Worth, Texas. This major F-35 program milestone strengthens national defense and global partnerships between the United States, Denmark and other F-35 partner and buying nations. "The security situation around the world is increasingly complex," said Trine Bramsen, Danish Minister "The F-35s will be at the absolute of Defense. "Being able to defend yourself and your allies is crucial. For peace. For stability. For center for the Danish Defense in the freedom and democracy. With the new F-35 fighter jets we will increase our ability to protect Denmark. coming decades'" - Trine Bramsen Our region. And wherever necessary as we have done before - side by side with the U.S. and other allies. The F-35s will be at the absolute center for the Danish Defense in the coming decades." Like the F-16 before it, the F-35 is spearheading NATO's air power and ensuring strategic integration of allied combat airpower. The vital interoperability of the 5th Generation F-35 binds 13 allies and partners with the United States in air dominance and enabling critical joint capabilities. The F-35 will serve as a force multiplier for Denmark, allowing the Royal Danish Air Force to train and fight alongside NATO allies and create a strong deterrent.
