KAMS certified as F-16 Falcon MRO depot
Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services (KAMS) has been certified by Lockheed Martin as the first global F-16 Falcon maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) depot.
The certification authorises KAMS to perform F-16 MRO sustainment work as a Lockheed Martin franchise in the global market.
There are approximately 3,000 operational F-16s in service today within twenty-five countries.
Susan Ouzts, vice president of F-16 of Lockheed Martin, said: ‘KAMS has decades of F-16 sustainment experience that can be leveraged globally to support our F-16 customers.
‘KAMS has a unique opportunity to perform Lockheed Martin F-16 quality work, through deployable global field teams, with approved LM engineering and Lockheed Martin licensed parts at a value to the customer.’
