Northrop Grumman is expanding its role in sustaining the U.S. C-130 Hercules fleet after its Lake Charles, Louisiana, facility was selected as a certified Continental U.S. maintenance depot.

The company will provide comprehensive aircraft maintenance, including repair, overhaul and inspection. C-130 aircraft support combat, humanitarian and other missions worldwide.

Lockheed Martin recognized the designation during the C-130 Technical Coordination Group World Wide Review event in Orlando, Florida.

Northrop Grumman says the Lake Charles facility combines an experienced workforce, specialized infrastructure, digital tools, custom fabrication and aircraft capabilities. These resources are intended to expand capacity, improve aircraft availability and return C-130s to service faster.

The facility also performs integrated modification and maintenance on the U.S. Navy’s E-6B Mercury aircraft in support of the Navy’s Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) mission.
