Overview LM Aero Marietta has designed and tested several avionics packages which address Future Navigation Requirements Legacy C-130 glass cockpit upgrade Multi-national Program tested and undergoing retrofit for C-130H aircraft Adaptable to other C-130 types C-130J Block Upgrade program Phased approach in 2 Software Block builds to achieve full compliance
Mandate for Compliance Worldwide capacity is being stretched Global Economy continues to expand with aviation a key part Infrastructure is either outdated or non-existent Economics to maintain/replace legacy ground based navaids or radar systems is marginal Some locations (oceanic, polar, remote locations) are more advantageous for flight routing yet have no infrastructure to support increased traffic Technology allows for more flexibility, greener operations, and reduced costs Limited funds are better spent on expandable technologies than on outdated systems
Mandate for Compliance New/NextGen Aircraft are designed and built to use new technologies New/NextGen ground systems are designed and built to make use of the new technologies Older aircraft will become more and more of an outcast in the future Bottom Line: Either play by the new rules or you re out of the game
