    180726-N-GB257-012 Charleston, S.C. (26 July, 2018) A Large Mobile Air Traffic Control Tower (LMATCT) sits onboard a C-17 Globemaster III following a test load conducted by the 437th Aerial Port Squadron July 26 at the Joint Base Charleston - Air Base. The test load was conducted in order to validate the Air Transportability Test Loading Activity certification and ensure the newly constructed towers were compatible for airlift aboard U.S. Air Force aircraft. The new models, specifically designed to be transportable on military airlift, directly support the Federal Aviation Administration Mobile Asset Management Program (MAMP), which delivers mobile systems necessary to restore ATC capabilities during natural disasters, facility outages or when other permanent systems are out of service for upgrades. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic worked with the FAA to provide the integration and engineering support for upgrading the LMATCTs due to their extensive background in deployable control centers.
