Total C-130 Transformation
The Avionics Modernization Program gives the "Iron Herc" worldwide airspace access in compliance with international law and provides a modern common glass cockpit configuration for the entire fleet - streamlining training and logistics.
T-56 3.5 Engine - Fielded and realizing 20% increase in range; dramatic increase in fuel efficiency; faster time to climb; maximum takeoff torque available in high and hot environments.
NP2000 8-blade Propellers - Fielded and realizing significant takeoff performance gains, reduced logistics footprint and dramatic reductions in cockpit noise level and vibration. Operationally-tested, AMC-approved replacement to address safety and sustainment concerns of the legacy 4-blade propellers while extending the life of the airframe and its components.
Center Wing Box replacement extends the life of C-130H aircraft on par with fresh off the assembly line aircraft.

Degraded Visibility Landing System
Degraded Visibility Landing System
The L3Harris Degraded Visibility Landing System (DVLS) enhances visibility and safety of rotary-and fixed-wing pilots landing in reduced visibility conditions due to weather, obstacles or obscurants such as dust brownouts.
DVLS uses navigational and sensor data sources to
produce a real-time, augmented-reality displayed
on a helmet-mounted, flip-down display for an
accurate representation of the surrounding terrain
and potential flight obstructions. It keeps pilots
spatially oriented to the terrain and obstacles and
works with existing night vision devices to enable
safer landings.
