Proposed roles for future tactical airlift drive requirements for research and development in the areas of advanced Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL), Electronic Systems, Survivabililty, and Advanced Cockpit capabilities. A common scenario may involve deep penetration into enemy territory with no air or ground support. The transport may be required to land on bomb damaged runways, highways, or dirt roads. The aircraft may have to take on cargo in this area and get airborne again with the same runway requirement. The High Technology Test Bed (HTTB), an Independent Research and Development Program (IRAD) was begun to address technologies required for these future tactical transports. The program utilizes a commercial, stretched C-130 transport as the technology focal point. The aircraft is highly modified to perform the STOL mission and is fully instrumented with a real time data acquisition system. The HTTB undergoes modification spans followed by flight spans to evaluate systems performance.
