C-130J Maintenance and Aircrew Training System (MATS) (C-130J MATS)
 The Lockheed Martin C-130J Maintenance and Aircrew Training System (MATS) program provides a comprehensive range of training devices and training support services including aircrew instruction, operations, contractor logistics support and engineering services. Located at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, the schoolhouse is the U. S. Air Force’s Formal Training Unit (FTU) for C-130J aircrew and maintenance personnel. Graduates of the FTU are mission-qualified and can then report to operational units in the Air Mobility Command (AMC), Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), and Air Nation Guard (ANG). Supported by the Main Operating Base (MOB) at Keesler AFB, Mississippi, C-130J continuation and refresher training is provided for all C-130J aircrews.
Lockheed Martin provides instruction for ground-based academic and simulator lessons. Training includes all crew positions and aircrew training courses. A full Training Systems Support Center (TSSC) provides operations and maintenance (O&M), revision and maintenance (R&M) engineering tasks, security program, student publications library, and learning center operation.
The C-130J MATS program also provides the USMC Weapon Systems Trainers for the KC-130J aircraft, including one year of interim Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for each delivered trainer.
