New equipment could save AMC millions
Members of the Air Force Research Laboratory Advanced Power Technology Office, AMC, Air Force Special Operations Command, Team Charleston, Air Transportability Test Loading Activity, Robins Air Force Base, Warner Robins, Georgia, Boeing and cable designer Samson Rope met at Joint Base Charleston Nov. 28-29, 2016, to conduct an operational evaluation of new synthetic cargo tiedowns and winch cables. The new tiedowns and winch cables will reduce the weight by nearly 1,000 pounds on each C-17 Globemaster III and save the Air Force approximately $4,000,000 each year.
