The Marine Corps' Harvest Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit Plus has reached full operational capability, the service announced Monday. The 10th and final KC-130J to be updated with the Harvest HAWK Plus configuration was delivered to the Fleet Marine Forces on Aug. 26, the service announced. The Harvest HAWK improvements were part of the service's KC-130J Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR)/Weapons Mission Kit program that began in 2015.
