Kit Development
Background
LM Aero goal – to develop retrofit kits that:
– reduce aircraft operating and maintenance costs
– increase flight safety and flight crew situational awareness
– provide additional mission capabilities
• How Our Current 2011 List was developed:
– Inquiries were sent out to all C-130 Field Service Representatives
worldwide, Business Development personnel, C-130 Program and LM
Field Offices at WR-ALC
– Over 50 suggested Upgrade ideas compiled
– Kits were then prioritized by most requested or most effective
