Wow ATS is acting up again, thanks for the reply on other projects.
I rember the One of 95 (96 originally) KC-10's that flew right over my house. What a sight being very low with the runway 3 miles away.
Here's a quote from a PDF file. From 2013 though.
"Executive Summary
• DOT&E approved the post-Milestone B Test and Evaluation
Master Plan (TEMP) in January 2013. The TEMP approval
memorandum identified planned test program shortfalls that
require resolution prior to the Milestone C TEMP submittal.
• The KC-46A successfully completed the Critical Design
Review (CDR) in July 2013. DOT&E published an
Operational Assessment report on the program’s progress
toward IOT&E in June 2013 to support the CDR.
• Readiness for the scheduled start of IOT&E continues to be
high risk with a 6- to 12-month delay expected.
• The ALR-69A Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) has
effectiveness shortfalls that require resolution prior to
integration on the KC-46A. The contractor has made some
hardware and software changes to improve performance.
• The program has made advances in collecting and analyzing
live fire test data needed to address the KC-46A vulnerability
to dry bay fires."
