While it may look the same to some, the C-130J-30 is a very different aircraft to the C-130H. The most obvious differences are the six bladed composite prop and an increase of 4.5 metres in the cargo compartment length (two additional pallet stations), but looking further there are a lot of other changes and new technology that makes this a very different aircraft.

If you’re willing to believe Defence Minister Ron Mark, our defence forces will be operating in future like a high-tech version of Oxfam. Yes, we’re going to be spending $20 billion on Defence in the years out until 2030, but allegedly… “Much of the spend has been driven by climate change,” Mark claimed with a straight face this week.

Look, the NZDF are excellent at shooting civilians, burning their homes, handing them over to known torture units, gaining intelligence from torture and then hiding and lying about all those abuses of power, but should we be cutting the NZDF budget to ‘help lift New Zealander’s well being’ because as the apocalypse in Australia has proven, you need a military to help in the immediacy of a civil defence emergency.

The global military drone market is growing rapidly and as New Zealand looks to the future of its defense force we must ask ourselves if we see drone technology there. Public perception of UAVs is often negative and associated with issues like the war on terror and armed drone strikes. However, drones also have many meaningful uses, including search and rescue, maritime surveillance, humanitarian assistance and communications support.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
The DCP 2019 states it will be looking at drones to supplement the P-8A's and other surveillance aircraft. NZ EEZ and SAR areas are huge, and drones will help supplement any search as a cheaper option once up and running that a full flight P-8A.
They still have a human element involved with it's operation. They have longer loiter time and you can change pilots mid-flight. It also means, if in the time of conflict and drone is shot down there is no loss of life.
