The US Coast Guard (USCG) received its 13th C-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft in baseline configuration from Lockheed Martin on 10 April, 2019.

The aircraft, CGNR 2013, will now be equipped with the Minotaur mission system suite by L3 Technologies’ Integrated Systems Platform Integration Division, along with coast guard-specific sensors, integrated radar and communication systems, following which the aircraft will be redesignated as an HC-130J.

The USCG currently has 16 HC-130J aircraft either in operational use or active production. The fleet provides support to US Department of Homeland Security partners as well as logistical support during routine coast guard operations.
