When we took some 600 pounds of hard wiring out of the C-130 Hercules, it made room for an amazing array of new, high-technology systems. This MIL-STD 1553 databus architecture, linked to the aircraft's mission computer, forms the brain of the new C-130J. Systems and functions that once were controlled or monitored individually now work in effortless tandem. Of course, this is just one of the money-saving, technological triumphs we've installed on the aircraft. We've also added a fully computerized mission-planning system, twin-spool engines for greater thrust, six curved props to increase efficiency, and twin Head Up Displays for safety. We've done all this for one reason only. To help you achieve the goals of your mission. It's been our modus operandi since the Hercules debuted in 1955. And with this all-new, cost-efficient aircraft, it will continue to be for years to come. LOCKHEED MARTIN M i v s i o n S u c C c s s m mfc mm • "^ •'• -"Tr -Ifcii imn -—*—• fan i <m
