L3Harris Technologies has secured a contract from the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF) to modernise several C-130 aircraft. The upgrades are aimed at strengthening the RMAF’s operational readiness in line with Morocco’s national defence objectives.

 

The agreement includes avionics upgrades, depot-level maintenance, engine overhauls, and other essential support tasks. These enhancements are expected to improve the fleet’s availability for missions such as tactical airlift, humanitarian aid, and special operations.

 

 

“This landmark agreement marks the beginning of a strategic, long-term partnership with the Royal Moroccan Air Force to ensure their fleet is ready for any mission,” said Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance at L3Harris. “By leveraging our team’s proven avionics expertise, we will deliver scalable modifications to enhance C-130 performance and fleet longevity.”
