A Lockheed Martin field team began installation of production Avionics Modernization Program kits into the US Air Force's fleet of C-5 Galaxy strategic airlifters on 4 June at Dover AFB, Delaware. Once installation on the first aircraft, a C-5B, is completed in late summer, it will be flown to the Lockheed Martin facility in Marietta, Georgia, where it will then become the first aircraft to undergo the modifications for the Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program. The second AMP-modified Galaxy, also a C-5B, will be used by the Air Force to conduct operational test and evaluation of the AMP hardware and software, which is scheduled for later this year.
