Boeing has partnered with the U.S. Air Force to design and integrate a modernized flight deck for the C-17 Globemaster III.
The upgrade will replace critical avionics with a modern, modular open systems architecture (MOSA) to enable future enhancements and expand mission capability.
This modernization is crucial to keep the C-17 mission-ready, as it is now expected to remain in service until 2075, much longer than initially planned, pending the Next-Generation Airlift program.
