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


Kit Lists for 2011

Current Prioritized Listing

1. Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Turret – Chin Mount Retrofit 2. Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System 3. Air-to-Air Refueling Tanker Conversion 4. AN/APN-241 Low Power Color Radar 5. Electronic Engine Instrument Display 6. Digital Intercommunications System (ICS) System Retrofit 7. Auxiliary Power Unit/Environmental Control System (APU/ECS) Upgrade

from Gas Turbine Compressor/Air Turbine Motor (GTC/ATM) 8. Underdeck Cargo Winch 9. Embedded Airdrop Towplate


EO/IR “Chin Mount” Turret Retrofit Kit

• Provides additional mission capability to C-130s – Provides provisions to install EO/IR

sensors capable of 360o field of view coverage

– Adds sensor capability to support Search & Rescue, Surveillance and Interdiction missions.

– Based on proven LM Aero Production Installations on HC/MC-130J, USCG C-130J and Indian Air Force C-130J aircraft


Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)

• Prevention of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Accidents • Over the years, approximately 30 CFIT accidents involving C-130s

have occurred resulting in over 433 lives lost • EGPWS is a Mark II & VII GPWS Form/Fit/Function replacement

– replaces the Radio Altimeter Instrument with new combination Terrain Display & Radio Altimeter

– minimal Instrument Panel modification required – greatly increased flight crew situational awareness


Air-to-Air Refueling Tanker

• Converts basic Combat Delivery C-130E/H into the KC-130 configuration for Probe & Drogue Refueling

• Retrofit Kit Based on proven LM Aero Service Bulletins

updated current Production Product Improvements – Incorporates current production “-6” Sargent Fletcher AAR

instruments with two LCD displays providing greatly reduced logistics and maintenance requirements

• Improved readability • Engine Data Concentrator Unit collects and converts

Analog to ARINC 429 Digital (Engine, Hydraulic, Trim) • Digital output of data that can be recorded for easier

maintenance troubleshooting, exceedences and trend data


Digital Interphone System Upgrade

• Replaces older analog-type ICS with modern Digital System

• Much quieter ICS with increased capability

Standard Control Audio Panel (CAP)

Interface Control Unit (ICU)

Interphone Station (IS)

• Replaces the five Flight Deck and two Cargo Compartment ICS Stations

• Easily expandable if additional Stations required • Based on a proven LM Aero Retrofit Kit


Auxiliary Power Unit/Environment Control

System Upgrade • Replaces older GTC/ATM and

smaller Cargo ECS • Increase from 20 KVA to 40 KVA

Generator (common to -15 Engines) • Increased Bleed Air for Ground Air

Conditioning operation • Allows for APU operation In-Flight

for emergency engine starts • Greatly reduced Maintenance • Based on proven LM Aero Service

Underdeck Cargo Winch

• Installs 6,500 lb capacity Cargo Winch with a 200 foot cable under the Cargo Floor. Increases usable Cargo Floor area and reduces clutter

• Eliminates the need to relocate the standard above floor 300 lb “Bulldog’ Winch and reduces Loadmaster workload

• Variable 2-Speed Control Pendant with 25 foot cord allows safer control and closer monitoring of load movement by the Loadmaster

• Based on proven LM Aero Production Winch installation on C-130J aircraft with the Enhanced Cargo Handling System (ECHS)


Embedded Airdrop Towplate

• Installs the C-130J Embedded Airdrop Towplate into the Cargo Ramp - Reduces aircraft configuration time for Towplate Airdrop from 1 hour to 5 minutes

• Provides increased Airdrop Release Accuracy utilizing Drogue Chute versus large Extraction Chute deployment

• Based on proven LM Aero Production Installations on C-130J aircraft with the ECHS adapted to C-130B-H


Summary

• LM Aero’s goals are to: – provide new low risk/low cost modification and upgrade

options for the C-130 Community – enhance the mission capability of your Hercules – reduce Operator maintenance and logistics costs
