A C-130 utilizing the SABIR system delivers a solution for armed overwatch that would be available more quickly, with more capability, and having greater flexibility with design characteristics that provide for the quick adaptation of new sensor and munitions technologies.
This modular solution is more survivable, more tailorable, provides more comprehensive overwatch and mission support, is self-deployable, and facilitates simple and rapid redeployment.
Most importantly, the Airdyne solution also retains all the C-130 core capabilities meaning this aircraft can still provide the ground forces with the customary array of expanded mission support beyond armed overwatch while remaining relevant and mission worth for decades to come. Lastly, the SABIR system is already a proven technology used by multiple services and countries for ISR roles.
