Vehicle ID: That’s not a C-130J, it’s still the old C-130H!

“When we add these modifications to all of our aircraft, we will greatly increase the reliability and performance of the C-130H, and the overall lethality of the United States Air Force.”-Colonel Justin Walrath, Wyoming Air National Guard’s 153rd Airlift Wing

You can’t count on those six bladed props to tell you that you’re looking at a C-130J Super Hercules anymore.  The following pics are an old school C-130H upgraded with new engines and props that might make it look like a C-130J to the casual observer, along with a few other things.

The Wyoming Air National Guard is proud to be the first operator of the first C-130H upgraded with ‘J-like’ components.  Wyoming was chosen in 2008 to get and try out upgraded C-130Hs.

The C-130J has six bladed props.

Most obvious change for upgraded C-130H are the turbines and eight bladed air-screws (evil British empire Rolls-Royce T56 series 3.5 with NP2000 props).  The modifications took place over 18 months at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas.

Initial testing took place at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.  Supposedly the C-130H modifications mean various state National Guard units will save taxpayer money versus buying the C-130J.

In 2016 the U.S. Air Force and the Central State University in Ohio revealed project Global Neighbor (ostensibly to fight climate change by fighting unwanted plants) and unveiled a directed energy/distributed array weapon for use against your lawn.

Global Neighbor is taxpayer funded through SBIR/STTR (Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer).

In 2017, an ‘inventor’ in Ohio unveiled his silly-vilian version which is incorporated into your standard walk-behind lawn mower.

From 19 to 22 March 2018 the so called Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate revealed their latest so called non-lethal weapons in Washington DC.  They included Laser-Induced Plasma Effect (a so called non-lethal laser beam to shoot you with), electronic devices that can shutdown your vehicle (what I call vehicle electro-cutioners) and Solid-State Active Denial Technology (SSADT) which is essentially a microwave weapon that can ‘burn’ the surface of your skin.

“It’s easier to train a fire fighter that has swift water training to ride on the hoist than it is to train an Army hoist operator to become swift water qualified.”-Mike Barbero, Boise firefighter and Army National Guard pilot

The Idaho Army National Guard spent the first week of April conducting joint rescue training with the city of Boise’s fire department.  The helicopter hoist training event was the result of a February 2017 rescue of a man stranded by flooding in the town of Weiser, in which the National Guard and Boise Fire Department cooperated.

That 2017 rescue revealed the Boise Fire Department dive/swift water rescue team did not have helicopter hoist training and as a result National Guard personnel conducted the hoist rescue.

“This joint training that the Guard provides Boise Fire with is highly specialized and it provides the unique opportunity to learn techniques that could save a life. This training solidifies what we need to know to be successful in helicopter rescue scenarios.”-Paul Roberts, Boise Fire Department

Idaho’s Army National Guard and the state Military Division’s Public Safety Communications and Information Technology Division are creating a ‘long term’ microwave radio system across six regions within The Gem State.

Idaho Army National Guard photo by Second Lieutenant Crystal Farris.

“The current network has been out there for a while and is at a point in its lifecycle where it needs to be replaced. We are providing engineering and analysis for what should be replaced and how we can improve data consistency and reliability for that infrastructure to remain working at an optimal level.”-Ben Call, communications and InfoTech services branch chief

The new system is meant to provided faster service and protect state government communications from cyber attacks. It will serve the Idaho Army National Guard, Idaho State Police, Idaho Fish and Game, and the Idaho State Courts System.  It should also be more secure during natural disasters because it does not use ‘public’ cell systems: “With our support they have equipment that comes in via the microwave network instead of the public network that would not be affected by an outage. So it is our hope and intent that our system would stay up and be available in an emergency even if the regular system dies.”-Ben Call
