Northrop Grumman's Lake Charles facility in Louisiana was selected as a Certified Continental U.S. depot for the maintenance of the C-130 Hercules fleet. This designation allows the company to provide depot-level maintenance, including aircraft repair, overhaul, and inspection. The facility already supports the U.S. Navy’s E-6B Mercury aircraft and previously conducted maintenance for the E-8 JSTARS.
