The opportunity involves modifying the KC-135 cargo lighting system, which currently has only off and full-brightness settings. Full brightness compromises the boom operator’s night vision during transition to the unlit boom pod for air refueling, while turning the lights off forces crew members to navigate a dark cargo area, creating safety hazards. The proposed modification would provide a flexible lighting system that improves both mission effectiveness and crew safety. Interested contractors should assess their capability to deliver adjustable cargo lighting for KC-135 aircraft.
