Cobham Mission Systems, a world leader in air refuelling solutions and support, has announced it has secured a three-year agreement with Sabena technics. The contract provides comprehensive through-life support (TLS) and air-to-air (AAR) equipment maintenance to help Sabena technics ensure effective continued operations of the French Air Force’s KC-135 refuelling tankers. “Since 2009, we have had the pleasure of supporting the Sabena technics team in Nîmes, and we are extremely pleased to continue this collaboration,” said Russell Bailey, vice-president air-to-air refuelling for Cobham Mission Systems in the UK. “Our TLS agreements provide customers with long-term cost savings and faster access to parts and technical support, and gives us important insight into the full AAR product lifecycle. This ultimately helps to inform and educate product design teams working on next generation AAR solutions.” Under the contact, Cobham Mission Systems will continue to provide dedicated in-service support to the air-to-air refuelling pods fitted to the French KC-135 fleet. This includes exclusive repair and overhaul services, engineering support, obsolescence management and guaranteed availability of spares and consumables, during later stages of the aircraft service life. www.cobhammissionsystems.com Mike Richardson Author Mike Richardson Tags Cobham Mission Systems refuelling refuelling tankers Through life support Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter Related Articles Cobham Mission Systems awarded Orion spacecraft life support parts contract A change for the better Cobham Mission Systems’ Pyrovalves power precision NASA Perseverance Rover Mars landing Most recent Articles UAVs on a power trip Gearboxes that are out of this world!
