The Air Force’s new C-130Js going through combat testing at Little Rock AFB, Ark., (DR 11/8/05) appear to be getting good marks. Maj. Dave Flynn, the testing supervisor, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the airlifter has shown “outstanding” performance during the first phase of its evaluation testing. He added that all the missions have been “on track and on target with no problems.” There are several more weeks to go.
Sikorsky is pitching a modified "U-Hawk" version of older UH-60 Black Hawk series helicopters as autonomous resupply aircraft with additional capabilities as missile or drone swarm launchers.
