IMP Aerospace Implementing MLU
IMP Aerospace has begun the modernisation process for two P-3 ORION maritime patrol aircraft belonging to Chilean Naval Aviation under a $37 million contract awarded last October.
The upgrades, which follow the Lockheed Martin Mid-Life Update (MLU) programme, include replacement of wings and horizontal stabilisers and the installation of a new glass cockpit and improved engines.
The first Chilean aircraft arrived IMP’s Halifax facilities on 22 January.
