Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (IS&S) (NASDAQ:
ISSC) completed the flight testing and customer delivery of its
NextGen Flight Management System (FMS) on the C-130 aircraft. As
part of a fleet-wide flight deck installation program, the first
plane has been completed and accepted by our customer. The second
aircraft has commenced modification. This extensive flight deck
upgrade transforms the cockpits on both C-130 and L-100-30
aircraft, integrating legacy and newly installed equipment into a
common advanced cockpit. The transformation makes the aircraft
Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management
(CNS/ATM) and Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) ready. The
IS&S flight deck upgrade integrates the IS&S FMS with seven
large Flat Panel Displays, a Standby Navigation Unit, a Warning
System and computers to enhance tactical and situational awareness
while improving the reliability, maintainability and mission
readiness of the aircraft. The IS&S NextGen Flight Management
System integrated with Beta 3 GPS receivers provides RNP/RF
WAAS/GPS and LPV capabilities. These capabilities, unprecedented in
this aircraft, further demonstrate the robustness and
cross-platform versatility of the IS&S FMS.

The included Standby Navigation Unit senses, processes and
displays altitude, attitude, airspeed, slip/skid and navigation
information in an intuitive single instrument display. Further, the
system includes Primary, Navigation and Engine Instrument Displays
with associated Control Panels and Data Concentrators. The Caution,
Warning and Advisory Panel (CWAP) enables centralized cautionary
and warning indications in the flight deck and provides an
interface with the remote attention getters to enable flight crew
alert of annunciated cautions or warnings. CWAP also provides
outputs to activate warnings in the aircraft audio tone and voice
alerting system.
This successful flight test and customer delivery is another
example of the growing use of IS&S products for military
applications. The IS&S NextGen Flight Deck provides exceptional
system integration, performance, low cost, lighter weight and lower
power consumption.
