AIRCRAFT
MODIFICATIONS
FireHerc
Large air tankers — including legacy C-130s and C-130Js — play a critical role in firefighting, dispersing retardant
in austere locations to prevent flames from destroying more land and more lives. To do this, an air tanker has to be
able to navigate this challenging terrain, remain close to the flames, fly in low-visibility conditions and bring crews
home safely. Airframes must remain strong and performance can never be compromised.
The FireHerc will excel in this operational environment with its turboprop powerplant, straight wing design and
known performance capabilities — all of which offer an unmatched, optimized large air tanker that exceeds some
existing platforms by more than 200 percent in gallons or retardant delivered in a high/hot environment.
Coulson Aviation RADS Product Line
The Coulson Aviation USA Retardant Aerial Delivery System
(RADS) offers the proven and superior performance capable of
delivering up to 4,500 U.S. gallons of retardant utilizing a gravity
drop system that can deliver up to coverage level (CL) 12 ground
coverage. It consists of mission specific components that are
installed or removed in less than two hours, allowing the
FireHerc to maintain its full multi-mission utility. Upon removal
of the RADS Upper Tank, full cargo floor strength is retained.
Modular Aerial Firefighting
System II (MAFFS II)
If a less intrusive aircraft modification is desired by the operator,
the FireHerc can support operation of the roll-on/roll-off
Modular Aerial Firefighting System II (MAFFS II). MAFFS II offers
an alternate method to apply 3,000 U.S. gallons of retardant
utilizing a pressure discharge-type dispersal system that can
deliver up to CL 8 ground coverage.

TECHNICAL
PUBLICATIONS
Lockheed Martin C-130 technical publications are a set of proven commercial and military manuals used
throughout the world.
Technical publications are vital for the operation, maintenance and modification of all C-130s, safeguarding the
airworthiness of the aircraft. The C-130 technical publications team is responsible for the overall management,
development, validation, production, quality and delivery of the C-130 technical publications.
Lockheed Martin ensures technical publications are current with the latest engineering design changes to
maintain safe, efficient and effective procedures for operating and maintaining C-130 aircraft.
Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM)
Lockheed Martin has developed an Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) for the C-130J-30 and LM-100J.
The IETM is compliant with S1000D Specification, Issue 4.0.1. The IETM includes maintenance, fault isolation,
Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB), structures and inspection manuals.
Lockheed Martin offers an Interactive Electronics
Wiring Diagram (IEWD) Viewer that provides the user
with compact searchable wiring diagrams, a number
of display options and wire trace capabilities.
Together, IETMs and IEWDs increase operational
readiness by reducing the troubleshooting time it
takes a maintainer to perform repair tasks.

PALLETIZED SYSTEMS
Roll-on/roll-off passenger pallets can be configured for economy class or
business class seating and are FAA-certified to carry passengers. The pallets can
Passenger
include economy galleys or lavatories or a combination of seating with galleys or
lavatories.
Lockheed Martin has a network of suppliers that provide medevac pallets for all
models of the C-130. Pallets follow regulations for carrying passengers/patients
Medical
utilizing FAA-certified equipment.
• Litter Stacking Pallet Systems are used to transport non-critical patients.
Because of the use of standard litter and stretcher systems, the pallet can be
easily changed for different medical or humanitarian missions.
• Critical Care Pallet System provides medical technicians the provisions for
connecting and holding handheld medical supplies, oxygen and port
connections and electrical outlets.
The armed roll-on/roll-off pallet converts the transport aircraft into an armed ISR
aircraft allowing the operator to control the mission from the cargo compartment.
Armed
Cargo bay pallets include Command and Control (C2) and targeting systems.
Weapons and sensors can be carried using existing C-130J wing hard points.
Inboard and Outboard Hard Points
• Mission Pod installed on inboard hard point
• Includes a 20-inch EO/IR sensor for targeting identification and designation
• Datalink provides off-board communications of video and other data enabling
command control approval
• Outboard hard point holds a weapon rack and pylon with four Hellfire missiles
Optional Weapons
• Palletized 30mm gun system installs in the aft fuselage at the paratroop door

MODULAR SYSTEMS
Special Mission and
Passenger Modules
Lockheed Martin has a network of suppliers that provide
roll-on/roll-off modules for special missions and/or
passenger transport.
The module systems are customized and are scalable to
meet mission requirements. Modules can be as small as
one pallet position or as large as five pallet positions.
The units are acoustically and vibration treated.
FAA-certified modules can be customized to include:
• Very important person (VIP)/distinguished visitor (DV)
and/or staff personnel transport options utilizing
different types of seating
• Galleys and lavatories
• Secure SATCOM possible with operator rack and
workstations
• Communication equipment with aircraft interphone
• Interface and video conferencing capabilities
• In-flight entertainment
• Self-contained environmental control units
Medical Modules
Lockheed Martin works with specific suppliers to provide roll-on/roll-off modules for C-130, C-130J and LM-100J
aircraft.
Modules are fully independent, only using power from the aircraft. They can also be operated on the ground with
the addition of external power. The medical team, which is now separated from the aircrew, can function in a
controlled environment much like a hospital setting. Temperature and vibration control along with medical-grade
lighting are just a few of the features of the medical modules.
Aeromedical Biocontainment Modules (ABCM) are used for the management of patients with contagious diseases
such as Ebola and other global medical threats. Universal Patient Modules (UPM) have plug-n-play features which
can be adjusted for varying levels of acuity and numbers of patients.
