tampa，佛罗里达州 - 特别运营商正在寻找一套升级的固定翼飞机升级，例如射频对策，用于空中加油的新方法和改进的网络。操作员将飞机设想为战场上的联系，将地面上最低的操作员与家园中的空间甚至命令联系起来。为此，MC-130J将需要一些新的功能。他们目前正在测试跟随地形和避免技术，包括动态恢复。他们还需要来自飞机系统的网络数据来与跨多个平台的卫星通信，无线电信号，数据链接和数据融合。 On the opposite end of the spectrum, the aircraft requires upgraded radio frequency countermeasures and considerably more processing power for all of the data streaming in.Next steps include a capability release that will include tactical mission route replanner technology, along with tactical flight management and defensive countermeasures, as well as embedded training systems to simulate more complex missions.Beyond those capabilities, operators are looking to extend the range and reach of the aircraft, improve its communication systems, advance its defensive systems, increase its payload capacity for diverse mission sets and precision airdrop and landing capabilities, said Lt. Col. Andrew Sturgeon, head of mobility for Program Executive Office-Fixed Wing.The recently named OA-1K Skyraider II is also on the upgrade list, as SOCOM wants modular sensor payloads and weapons enhancements for the propeller-driven airplane, said Lt. Col. Shawna MATTHYS，负责集成罢工计划的负责人。
