Electromagnetic energy is emitted by many aircraft systems. Adversaries can intercept and use these signals to determine location, course, speed, platform type and probable destination.
Tight EMCON procedures allow aircrew to reduce aircraft detection providing a major operational advantage.
Today’s MAF aircraft have a myriad of complex RF emitting systems, making EMCON procedures much more difficult (see Table 1).

The Challenge

When the industry sidelined the Air National Guard’s requirement for an Aircrew Ground Cooling Unit (AGCU) as “unsolvable,” Apogee Worx, LLC stepped in and created its own.
Leveraging RAMMP, Apogee Worx, LLC:
- Developed requirements from scratch, collaborating directly with end-users
- Designed, prototyped, and tested the AGCU in-house after overcoming significant Roll on-roll-off Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) requirements challenges
- Achieved airworthiness certifications, completing both ground and in-flight validation
- Engineered a custom solution to operate within limited 15-amp, 3-phase power availability

The Results

A fully fielded, airworthy cooling system that delivers targeted thermal relief to KC-135 aircrew during preflight ground operations
Enhancing comfort, safety, and mission readiness

“Apogee Worx delivered an aircrew cooling solution that enhance warfighter readiness.”
Col. Jeff “Padre” Gould 151st WG, UTANG

The Challenge

NG program faced a 64-week lead time for a specialized aerospace-specific wire in 12 different configurations
Using RAMMP Apogee Worx, LLC:
- Sourced and validated the 12 wire types of alternatives to meet system and performance requirements
- Identified 32 critical discrepancies in the Technical Data Package
- Protected the program schedule from potential delays through proactive manufacturing engineering technical engagement

The Results

In close collaboration with NG engineering team, Apogee Worx, LLC delivered a qualified alternative in 19 weeks–a 72% reduction in lead time
Resulting in timely implementation, approved solutions and cost savings of 35%.

“Apogee Worx, drove critical lead time reduction and TDP alignment to enable schedule and cost savings.”
Garret G., Mission Defense, Northrop Gruman

The Challenge

Program was faced with a 46-week material lead-time for five precision aluminum extrusions
Using RAMMP Apogee Worx, LLC:
