WARNER ROBINS, GEORGIA (BNS): Boeing and Warner Robins Air Logistics Center has delivered the first C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) aircraft modified by Warner Robins.
The aircraft is the fourth to be delivered to Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas. The first three were modified by Boeing.
The C-130 AMP cockpit upgrade simplifies and standardizes the multiple C-130 configurations operated by the U S Air Force.
The aircraft is one of five that will participate in Initial Operational Testing and Evaluation (IOT&E) at Little Rock Air Force Base beginning later this month.
The second low rate initial production aircraft at Warner Robins -- scheduled for delivery in February -- will be the fifth aircraft in the IOT&E fleet.
"C-130 AMP will standardize the C-130H fleet and reduce annual ownership cost while offering the crews more situational awareness to perform their missions," said Mahesh Reddy, Boeing C-130 AMP programme director.
