U.S. Air Force Capt. Brett Pierson, a pilot with the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, refers to his personal computer tablet during preflight checks aboard a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft bound for a refueling mission in Afghanistan May 8, 2011, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The Hanscom Collaboration and Innovation Center at Hanscom AFB, Mass., is working with industry to provide Air Mobility Command pilots with hardened digital tablets, which can withstand digital attack and electronic interference during flight, replacing hundreds of pages of printed material with secure electronic flight bags. This acquisition method, known as a plug-test can quickly put needed tools in the hands of warfighters, before the technology is outdated. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Master Sgt. William Greer)
The DRAGON-qquipped U.S. Air Force E-3 AWACS aircraft, known as D-1, arrives at Boening Field in Seattle, Wash., Oct. 22 after a handoff from the U.S. Air Force. DRAGON is a Hanscom AFB based program, which stands for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources Replacement of Avionics for Global Operations and Navigation. DRAGON is also a cooperative development effort between the Air Force and NATO to upgrade the cockpits of both fleets. Following a three-month demodification process and a modification Installation & Checkout phase, the Service anticipates delivery of the D-1 fleet aircraft in early 2017. (Courtesy photo)
It's lift off for the E-3 AWACS DMS Replacement of Avionics for Global Operation Navigation (DRAGON) program, as the D-1 test aircraft takes off from Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., on its way to Boeing Field in Seattle. The D-1 handover effort successfully concluded Oct. 22, 2014. The D-1 aircraft will first undergo a three-month demodification process followed by a modification Installation & Checkout phase that will conclude with a planned D-1 DRAGON delivery in early 2017. CNS/ATM DRAGON is a cooperative program with NATO that addresses DMS equipment issues and known CONUS and International Air Traffic Management restrictions, ensuring operational viability of the both E-3 fleets for worldwide operations and will provide unrestricted worldwide access to global airspace. The DRAGON program falls under the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Battle Management directorate located at Hanscom AFB, Mass. (Courtesy photo by David Clavey)
