Description

The first C-130J aircraft achieved initial operational capability in 1999. The US Air Force plans to purchase up to 168 C-130J and CC-130J (a stretch version of C-130J) aircraft to replace older C-130Es. In November 2004, the US Air Force awarded Lockheed-Martin a contract to turn 1+2 Air National Guard C-130Js into Super J aircraft configuration. Super J configuration features aerial refueling equipment, a modified operator station, an expanded internal communications system, plus a more powerful generator for needed electrical power. It is expected that the first Super J configured aircraft, to be sent back to the Air National Guard in 2006, will be ultimately converted into the first EC-130J aircraft. EC-130Js would replace the existing fleet of aging EC-130E Commando Solo aircraft beginning before the end of this decade (2010). EC-130Js will perform information operations and civil affairs broadcasts in AM, FM, HF, TV and military communications bands.
