INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS BRIEFING IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE LATEST AIRCRAFT MODEL(S) OR

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
Copyright 2013, Lockheed Martin Corporation. All rights reserved.
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• Infrastructure is either outdated or non-existent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on outdated systems
Copyright 2013, Lockheed Martin Corporation. All rights reserved.
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
