Description

The US military in recent years has become concerned about China's increasing activity in the South China Sea, and its creation of man-made islands there on which it has built military installations.

But a MC-130 that could land on water would be able to do a lot more to infiltrate troops, get them out, and recover trapped or wounded personnel. Seaborne operations offer nearly unlimited water landing zones, providing significant flexibility for the joint force.

MC-130s are outfitted with extensive electronic warfare capabilities that allow the crews to detect and avoid radar and infrared-guided threats. They have advanced computers and navigation equipment, as well as radars that are specially designed to help the aircraft fly exceptionally low and in harsh weather conditions. And their tails are stronger than the typical C-130 tail to make it easier to conduct high-speed airdrops.

It wouldn't be the first time a C-130 variant was modified to allow it to land in unusual environments. The New York Air National Guard's LC-130 "Skibird" aircraft, for example, is outfitted with skis and rockets to help it land on and take off from icy Antarctic surfaces on missions to resupply scientific stations there.
