Kellstrom Defense Aerospace (KDA) has announced a partnership with Lynden Air Cargo to install the first Digital Fuel Quantity Measurement Solution (DFQMS) on 382G (L-100) aircraft.<\/p>\n
DFQMS is KDAs latest aircraft life extension product (LEP) and a modern active capacitance system.<\/p>\n
Under the partnership, Lynden will also complete the supplemental type certificate (STC) for the L-100 aircraft type. The modernisation solution will support legacy C-130 and L-100 aircraft.<\/p>\n
Kellstrom Defense said in a statement: The engineered product operating segment has invested to bring in a full-scale development programme for this technology, supported by our partners at the AMETEK SFMS and PDS divisions and the system engineering team at Cascade Aerospace, a Lockheed Martin service and engineering centre.<\/p>\n
The DFQMS system improves system reliability, lowers material cost and increases mission readiness by replacing legacy fuel quantity measurement systems and aircraft wiring harnesses.<\/p>\n
The Lynden installation is expected to clear the way for global fleet retrofit of this technology.<\/p>\n
Kellstrom Defense Aerospace LEP vice-president Michael Farmer said: We are excited to work closely with Lynden on their fleet of 382G (L-100) aircraft to complete STC development and ensure that this critical technology reaches maturity. <\/p>\n
It has been a team effort with AMETEK, Cascade Aerospace, Lynden, and KDA committing investment, resources, and technical know-how to achieve this milestone.<\/p>\n
Kellstrom Defense develops and deploys aircraft upgrades that include the SHORT-POD APU and E2H ECS upgrades for C-130 and L-100 aircraft.<\/p>\n
In October 2018, Cascade Aerospace signed an exclusive agreement with Kellstrom Defense to support the upgrade installation for the C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft. <\/p>\n
