Thanks BEagle
Seems a "No Brainer" to me in terms of using the Next Gen A310 MRTT AAR Mission System based on what you describe ... however, I'd be a little uneasy with the USB data transfer architecture you describe (professional experience). Far more secure to use a "Locked Down" Toughbook for pre-flight planning then take it to the aircraft to upload the planned mission to the on-board computers via a secure cable data link ... which is certainly not a show stopper to implement quickly
