ALWAYS READY TO SHIP OUT WITH THE COAST GUARD.

When you’re in the Coast Guard, you learn to handle a lot of missions, like patrol, search and res­cue, and interdiction. That’s why the Coast Guard relies on the C-130 Hercules aircraft. It’s a plane as versatile as they are.

The Coast Guard HC-130 is called upon to interdictdrug smugglersand enforce maritime law. It’s also flown to ensure the safety of ports and commercial vessels, as well as environmentally sensitive areas. And, of course, the Coast Guatf and its fleet of C-130s must always be ready to joif the Navy during wartime.

The Hercules has proven itself for more tha^f 35 years. Throughout the life of the program, th⁶ C-130 has been modified and improved. So today^s model is more powerful, more durable. Add to tN^s a full complement of advanced avionics, and get the most versatile aircraft in the world.

Just ask the Coast Guard.

TACMS IS READY TO JOIN THE NAVY.

The Army Tactical Missile System (TACMS) proved itself in Operation Desert Storm with a 100% success rate. Every assigned target was destroyed or rendered inoperable. Which makes it the ideal candidate for Navy long-range surface fire support. In fact, TACMS meets or exceeds assigned mission requirements for Naval Surface Fire Support. Today.

TACMS has the accuracy, lethality and respon­siveness to ensure protection of amphibious assault teams and to destroy the enemy at ranges in excess

of 75nm. Even at night and in inclement weather, can deliver devastating payloads from far over the horizon. With pinpoint accuracy. With Army devel opment costs paid for, only Navy combat system integration remains.

The Original Stealth Fighter.

Building America’s “other stealth fighter” is a team effort. Electric Boat and hundreds of suppliers form an industrial base that is both unique and,

for all practical purposes, irreplaceable. Because the need remains for a

strong submarine force, main­taining this industrial base is a matter of national security.

The Navy’s nuclear submarines are stealthy. But their contri­bution to our nation’s defense should be clear for all to see.

systems to make today’s attack submarine ten times quieter than improved Los Angeles class submarines. SEAWOLF is also twice as operationally effective as other existing attack submarines.

And it will accommodate next-generation combat systems as they come on line.

Like its airborne counter­parts, our latest submarine will handle the toughest missions. It can get in and out unseen and strike with deadly force, even at targets several hundred miles inland.

Long before stealth technology was developed for military aircraft, submarines were perfecting the art of concealment. Today, the most advanced state of that art can be found on the new SEAWOLF attack submarine.

Using this technolog)' to silence pumps, valves, bearings and other components, Electric Boat engineers have redesigned operating and propulsion

Hughes has made a major commitment to the missile business and the future of the Tomahawk Weapons System.

Hughes Missile Systems Company’s consolidation in Tucson brings together the three essential elements of Tomahawk’s future:

•      The team that created Tomahawk and integrated the weapon system into surface ships and submarines.

•       Technology and a new operating environment that are dramatically improving Tomahawk mission effectiveness, while reducing program costs.

•       Company-wide resources needed to fully integrate joint surveillance, command, mission

planning and strike assets.

Tomahawk.

The Future is Here.

weapons for ship self-defense.

Among recent FMC accomplishments:

Our 60 mm ETC gun has been successful in rapid-fire

Advanced gun and missile systems for ship self-defense.

Ship self-defense is a top Navy priority, and FMC is heavily engaged in research and development of weapon systems for this vital effort. As a leading world source of shipboard gun and mis­sile systems, we are at the forefront of enhancing current system capabilities to exploit new and emerging technologies.

Among recent development milestones:

Mk4l /VL RIM 7 Seasparrow -

Integration of the NATO Seasparrow (RIM-7) with the Mk4l Vertical Launch­ing System was recently demonstrated in successful tests at White Sands Missile Test Range. Further development by FMC and Martin Marietta is focused on multi­packing the Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM) to increase Mk4l loadout for ship self-defense.

Electrothermal Chemical (ETC) Guns - FMC’s breakthrough research in electric guns has already estab­lished new levels of performance to make guns viable testing, and will fire precision-guided munitions at airborne targets during demonstrations planned for this year at the Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren, VA.

ETC performance improvements have also been demonstrated in a Navy 5-inch gun for the Defense Nuclear Agency. Existing 5-inch naval guns upgraded with ETC technology and firing guided muni­tions can become effective ship self­defense weapons.

Ultimately, ship self-defense will re­quire a suite of weapons and sensors inte­grated in a single, synergistic combat sys­tem. Weapons should include both gun and missile elements, and FMC is rapidly advancing the state of technology in both areas.
