DESCRIPTION The Government's needs for manufacturing services are required in order to support the new Quadrax Ethernet plug for the Electronic Engine Indication Display (EEID) on the C/KC-135 Block 45 program. The Block 45 program removes 24 center instrument panel indicators and replaces them with a large glass EEID. The supplemental tool kit is required in order to support changing the EEID connector.
