iRaven,
Absolutely spot on and proves my point exactly.
AN/ALR 56 is on hundreds if not thousands of F-16s and a whole bunch of C-130s; US and Canada have hundreds alone.
We put it on the C-130K Mk3a. Should have been a total no brainer to get it to work properly.
Integration onto the frame by Marshall's - reasonably straight forward.
Herc IPT didn't fund the support system properly though and programmers were left in the dark re training etc. Also OFP was off the shelf from USAF (Warner Robbins). Throw in some nav feed issues for good measure.
Outcome....Well I'll let someone from Lyneham comment.
