RFI issued for IAF’s C-130J transport aircraft requirement
May 03, 2007 (FIDSNS)
A Letter of Request has been issued to the Government of United States in December, 2006 indicating the requirement of C-130J transport craft for the Indian Air Force.
The Lockheed Martin C-130 is the US Air Force principal tactical cargo and personnel transport aircraft, and the C-130J Hercules is the latest model, featuring a glass cockpit, digital avionics and a new propulsion system with a six-bladed propeller.
C-130J was displayed at Aero India 2007. Lockheed Martin is said to have had several rounds of talks with Indian officials for the sale approximately 10 C-130J aircrafts. The company advertises it to be ideal for counter-terrorist operations.
