The cockpit upgrade proposal also includes engineering and manufacturing development, production and installation of the KC-10 Communications, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management modification to enhance pilot awareness and safety in high technology environments.
Boeing KC-10 programme director Mike Wright said the cockpit upgrade would help the aircraft maintain Global Air Traffic Management standards.
