The KC-390 enables operations out of unpredictable locations and allows planners to utilize more airfields, thus complicating the enemy’s targeting solution. The KC-390 aligns perfectly with Agile Combat Employment (ACE) concepts.
Today US Mobility assets are either dedicated tankers, or dedicated airlifters. Responding to the increased threat level in the Pacific requires fresh thinking. Combatant Commanders need options – exactly what the KC-390 Multi-Mission Airlift Tanker (MMAT) was designed to do.
KC-390 can operate from smaller & unimproved fields that enable a refuel and rearm mission at an expeditionary landing site.
The MMAT can service fighters via Forward Area Refueling Point using cargo carried as rolling stock. Then, following takeoff, can perform an air refueling top-off to enable the fighters to accomplish their next mission at maximum fuel capacity.
KC-390 is highly suitable for disperse operation under degraded conditions and support independence whenever required. Operates from runways as short as 3500’.

The KC-390 MMAT is capable of supporting ground operations through a Forward Area Refueling Point, providing refueling for fighters, helicopters and other aircraft. After takeoff, KC-390 will use boom and/or drogue air refueling to top-off fighters to max capacity.
State-of-the-art NATO standard communication for air and ground forces are also integrated, enabling faster, safer coordination. As the most advanced, interconnected platform available, open systems architecture boosts situational awareness and speeds decision-making.
The KC-390 Millennium’s complete self-protection system set includes MAWS, RWR, LWS, CMDS, DIRCM, Communication Jammer, ballistic protection, critical systems redundancy and are fully integrated to the Aircraft Mission System, so that warnings and controls are part of the main avionics platform.
Already selected by 8 allied nations — Portugal, Hungary, South Korea, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, and Lithuania — the KC-390 features a standardized configuration that delivers seamless interoperability and joint operations.
