Capability performance is assessed against the contribution it will make to counter the threats we face, now and into the future. The A400M is a highly capable modern aircraft, offering many advantages over the current C130 capability, including a greater range and payload capacity. Its modern technologies also offer the opportunity to apprach those tasks employed by the C130 in a different way. These will continue to be considered as part of the A400M’s capability development.
