    A Royal Malaysian Air Force KC-130J Super Hercules prepares to take off near an air traffic navigation, integration and coordination system here Nov. 20 as part of Operation Damayan, a humanitarian and disaster relief operation underway in the Philippines. The expeditionary navigation system provides air traffic controllers a platform to guide and direct aircraft in the absence of a typical tower. The system was deployed for the first time in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines, Nov. 7 with estimated sustained winds greater than 200 mph.
