The Lockheed Martin E-130J[1] is a planned airborne command post and communication relay aircraft based on the C-130J-30. The E-130J is intended to replace the Boeing E-6 Mercury in the TACAMO role for the US Navy, but not the associated "Looking Glass" role for the US Air Force.[2]
The design will replace the current fleet of E-6B aircraft beginning in FY2028.[3]
