vehicle as a whole by C130 is not possible, although when sectionalized the crane,
tail lift and launching system can be transported by the C-130 with the launch vehicle
chassis being subject to any restrictions within the M1075 Transportability Report

not being exceeded. The launch vehicle can therefore be loaded in to both the C17
and C5 aircraft without reconfiguration; external dimensions and gross vehicle
weight being within acceptable limits.
