Compared with the basic model C-130, C-130J has the characteristics of longer range, faster speed, higher flying altitude and stronger transportation capacity. Its newly launched advanced computer system makes flight engineers and navigators unnecessary, so it has lower requirements for manpower in driving. In addition, it also has the characteristics of taking off or landing on a shorter runway.
