Lomira, WI-based Patriot Taxiway Industries announced winning a contract from the Air Force to provide 16 KC-135 Portable LED Cargo Lighting System kits to the Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, in support of the Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) mission.
Patriot’s lighting system produces more than 30 times the illumination that the original lighting system generated. Such an innovation will improve the capabilities of aero medical crews to perform critical inflight patient care to wounded military personnel.
“This particular contract hit closer to home,” explained Steven Smits, President of Patriot Taxiway Industries “Being a KC-135 maintainer and knowing the mission personally, I challenged our team to deliver on this project”. Due to the close connection to KC-135 command Patriot even used its own capital funds and resources to ensure a quality product that best fit the situation.
