 Among the many capabilities of the KC-130J, the newest is its ability to provide close combat support in the form of the Harvest Hawk. The Harvest Hawk is a KC-130J aircraft that has been equipped with hellfire and griffin missiles in order to help troops on the ground. Pretty much we do whatever they need us to. We overwatch their patrols. We develop pattern of life on compounds in different areas they might operate in the future and if they do start taking fire from enemy insurgents then we go ahead and we can provide them with missiles for close air support. Pilots and crew chiefs from several different aircraft such as Cobra attack helicopters, Hornet fighter attack aircraft and Harrier aircraft are used to pilot and man the weapons systems on the Harvest Hawk.
