Lockheed Martin signed a contract in October to upgrade and enhance the capabilities of the C-130J transports flown by the four international Super Hercules operators: United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, and Denmark. This contract will allow those countries to benefit from a joint program that represents a significant milestone in international cooperation on a major weapon system. The program, known as Block 6.1, will include seven major upgrades to the C-130J aircraft and its avionics systems. This block upgrade program allows multiple nations to acquire enhanced capabilities while sharing costs and collaborating on development, design, test, and integration. The program also allows the operators to set the time frame to field the increased capabilities.
