MULTI-PURPOSE HATCH SYSTEM (MPHS)

R4's patented MPHS provides a customizable and upgradable Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) communication and/or Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability for any model C-130A-J and L-100/L-382.

This turnkey solution quickly replaces the existing forward and/or center escape hatch. No special equipment or tools are required for installation. These systems are easily serviceable by certified technicians and are offered at industry's smallest Size, Weight and Power/Price (SWaP).

Specifically developed for the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, this MPHS, combined with a specialized Base Kit inside the aircraft, drastically enhances in-flight data transmission capabilities, giving more accurate information to meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center. Recent flight tests during 2024 hurricanes have already shown it to be a hugely effective tool for the NHC. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kristen Pittman)

C-17 GLOBEMASTER III

Introducing the first RO/RO MPHS developed specifically for one of the Air Force's largest aircraft. Personally requested by Air Mobility Command (AMC) (Scott AF Base, Illinois), this revolutionary patent pending low profile design brings state-of-the-art SATCOM capabilities to Boeing's C-17. R4's new MPHS quickly replaces the existing escape hatch above the forward catwalk without modifying the aircraft. From conceptual design to Military Flight Release (MFR), this revolutionary SATCOM solution was completed in only 8 months, once again demonstrating R4's rapid response and quick reaction abilities! This ensured AMC's ability to meet its "25x25" initiative (25% of the fleet upgraded by 2025 with wideband SATCOM capability).
