The Meggitt ATO3000 is designed to fit within a certain footprint due to limitations of the Base to provide other locations for qualification. The current system is operational but needs several parts to ensure it is in good working order. Other systems would require great expense and time to modify the facility due the requirement of using NAVFAC to perform the work. This system is exclusive to Meggitt and other manufacturers do not have compatible parts and would run into patent infringement issues trying to replicate the needed parts.
