This quarter, we accelerated missile systems, autonomy and space capabilities—delivering when speed matters most.
Because in today’s environment, falling behind isn’t an option.
Mission-ready capability. Proven performance. This Super Herc will strengthen the @USCG’s ability to reach farther, respond faster and deliver when missions demand it most.
Our fleet modernization continues!
The Coast Guard recently accepted delivery of our 19th C-130J Super Hercules aircraft (CGNR 2019). With greater speed, range and endurance, this aircraft drastically expands our operational reach and maritime domain awareness.
The aircraft’s improved capabilities will help our crews save lives, respond to contingencies, and secure U.S. borders and maritime approaches, while supporting a wide range of critical operations.
Following missionization, CGNR 2019 is expected to enter operational service in 2027.

For nearly 250 years, American innovation has helped shape what’s possible. 🇺🇸
As we approach the nation’s 250th anniversary, the F-35 continues to redefine American airpower — and the people behind it. #America250
A new crew. A new mission. A new chapter in exploration. 🚀
Congratulations to @AstroKomrade, @astro_luca, Frank Rubio and @Astro_AndreD on their selection to @NASA's Artemis III mission!
#TrainingTuesday: what do you get when you pair world-class helicopters like the Black Hawk and CH-53K with realistic, immersive training devices? Mission-ready pilots from day one. 🚁
Moon Joy June is about to get even better!
Today, @NASA will reveal the Artemis III crew who will help test critical rendezvous, proximity operations and docking capabilities as humanity moves one step closer to returning to the lunar surface.
Tune in at 11:30 a.m. ET! youtube.com/watch?v=0fLROeRh…
The C-130 is built to adapt across every environment.
From moving critical assets like HIMARS to extending airpower through aerial refueling for platforms like the F-35, it delivers when and where it's needed most. That adaptability keeps the mission moving forward. 🇺🇸
Tomorrow, the next chapter of Artemis begins! 🚀
Tune in at 11 a.m. ET to meet the @NASAArtemis III astronauts who will fly aboard the Orion spacecraft for the next phase of humanity's journey to the Moon.
Coming soon: one of history’s most complex missions
Tune in on Tuesday, June 9, at 11am ET, to meet the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test docking capabilities with commercial landers in low Earth orbit — an important step to crewed lunar landings.
X-59 goes through the number! Congrats to the @NASA and @LockheedMartin🦨 teams!
At @NASAArmstrong , we are rebuilding our X-plane portfolio and getting NASA back in the business of radical airframe and engine flight test!. Today was another small step in the right direction 🇺🇸
✈️ JUST IN: The X-59 has gone supersonic!
The X-59 achieved supersonic speeds for the first time ever today — a major milestone for NASA’s Quesst mission and an important step toward upcoming flights that will demonstrate its quiet supersonic technology ahead of future community overflights.
Fast now. Quiet soon. 🔊➡️🤫

ALT NASA’s X‑59 eXternal Vision System digital display shows green flight data overlaid on the forward scenery as the aircraft flies supersonic. Numerical indicators, horizon references, and a Mach‑number readout are visible on the screen.
Step one: break the sound barrier.✔️
The X-59 has officially flown at supersonic speeds for the first time, marking a major step forward on the path to quieting the sonic boom. Even faster and quieter flights are coming soon.
The strength of the C-130J goes beyond the aircraft itself. 🌎
Its global network of allies and partners strengthens readiness, expands interoperability and ensures missions keep moving when every moment counts.
The U.S., @AusAirForce & New Zealand Air Forces signed a trilateral agreement allowing maintainers to service each other’s C-130J aircraft, expanding interoperability & keeping missions moving.
See how the partnership strengthens global mobility 👇
