Lockheed Martin began field installation of Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) kits into the U.S. Air Force's fleet of C-5 Galaxy strategic airlifters on June 4. The first aircraft is a C-5B flown by crews from both the 436th Airlift Wing and the Reserve Associate 512th Airlift Wing here. The Air Force plans to modify all 112 aircraft in the C-5 fleet over the next several years. "The induction of this first aircraft marks a major program milestone, shifting from development to production," said June Shrewsbury, Lockheed Martin's vice president of Strategic Airlift. "We have successfully followed a structured development and testing plan over the past five years to reach this point. The combination of hardware and software in AMP provides an eight-fold improvement in avionics reliability while allowing Air Force crews to fly their C-5s unrestricted anywhere in the world."
