The Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) is a self-contained unit used for aerial firefighting that can be loaded onto both military cargo transport Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Embraer C-390 Millennium, which then allows the aircraft to be used as an air tanker against wildfires. This allows the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to use military aircraft from the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve to serve as an emergency backup resource to the civilian air tanker fleet.

- Il Modular Airborne FireFighting System, noto anche con il suo acronimo MAFFS, è un'apparecchiatura tecnica autosufficiente che può essere utilizzata a bordo di un velivolo cargo, quale ad esempio un Lockheed C-130 Hercules, e che permette al velivolo di operare nella lotta aerea antincendio nel ruolo di "Airtanker". Questo permette di utilizzare velivoli dell'Aeronautica Militare come velivoli antincendio, in caso di necessità. (it)
