The 402nd Software Maintenance Group has been tasked by the C-5 System Program Office with updating the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex C-5 System Integration Lab with installation of a new Core Mission Computer and Color Weather Radar. The tasking is in support of an effort by Lockheed Martin Corp. under the direction of the SPO to develop upgrades to the CMC and CWR systems as part of a long-term program to extend the life of the Air Force C-5 fleet beyond 2040. The SIL houses a cockpit salvaged from a C-5 that crashed in 2006. The fully functional cockpit gives the 402 SMXG the ability to test software developed by the unit in a real environment without tying up serviceable aircraft.

The C-5 Galaxy is an aircraft with an interior and exterior combined paint weight of 2,600 pounds, more than 100 miles of wiring, over 5 miles of control cables and can haul 58 Cadillacs or six standard Greyhound buses. The maintenance demands are extreme. But, the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex ensures the aircraft is ready when its needed. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Kelly Goonan)

Robins Air Force Base is the first installation hosting an air Logistics Complex to receive an RQ-4 Global Hawk for paint and depaint work. Shown here, members of the 380th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron complete post-flight checks on a Global Hawk equipped with a battlefield airborne communications node at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, April 1, 2017. The completion of this mission marked 1,000 consecutive sorties without a maintenance cancel while supporting Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. These remotely piloted aircraft have provided a critical communication bridge between multi-national Coalition assets working to defeat ISIS in Iraq. (U.S. Air Force/Senior Airman Tyler Woodward)
