This report documents a mockup cockpit design study which was performed in support of the USAF KC-135 Avionics Modernization Program. The preliminary issues addressed during the study were the avionics control and display criteria to be met in the event of a reduction in crew size for the KC-135. The study results indicated that two pilots and a boom operator could successfully fly the depicted mission scenario by reallocating various crew tasks and by utilizing 1980 state-of-the-art avionics/navigation systems.
