Roll On/Roll Off Concept Overview
– Rapid reconfiguration to improve aircraft utilization
– Facilitate shared access to limited or specialized mission systems
– Force Multiplier – dedicated mission aircraft not required
– Self-contained capability not dependant on aircraft version (basic C-130E/H/J or KC/MC/HC capable - Short Body or Stretch)
Roll On/Roll Off Concept Overview (cont’d)
– Easily transferable between C-130 aircraft – Not basic aircraft crew dependent – independent
mission system operation from aircraft operations – May allow simultaneous multi-mission capability
(Special Mission operations during normal transport/refueling operations)
– The C-130’s unique design and capacity allows easy reconfiguration utilizing Roll On/Roll Off systems to make the C-130 the most versatile Special Mission aircraft in the world
