  • 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.

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.
