Contact us to learn more about our leasing and/or purchase options, including turnkey C-130(s).
Coulson Aviation’s ground-breaking Retardant Aerial Delivery System (RADS) can now be installed on virtually any C-130.
The Coulson RADS-XXL is half the cost of competing systems, and one-sixth the weight, making it the most powerful retardant delivery system in the world. Even more astonishing, it requires no additional crew or equipment.
Our controller and cockpit interface provides operators with real-time flow rate adjustment technology, resulting in superior drop zone coverage and accuracy.
As a testament to the effectiveness of our RADS-XXL systems, they have been selected by the USAF for deployment on their Hercules C-130 aircraft fleet operated by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in California (CAL FIRE).
