Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company has appointed June R. Shrewsbury as director of the new C-130 Sustainment and Modifications organization. This organization will have responsibility for all business related to the worldwide fleet of C-130s from the B model to the H model. In addition, Shrewsbury is leading Lockheed Martin's C-130 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) proposal.

"This new organization will bring increased customer focus and responsiveness to our efforts involving the worldwide Hercules fleet," said Dain M. Hancock, president of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

Shrewsbury joined Lockheed Martin in 1986. She has held increasingly responsible positions in Engineering and Program Management, serving as program manager for the A-4 avionics modernization program and director of Big Safari C-130 programs at the company's Palmdale, Calif., site. Shrewsbury was named to lead the C-130 AMP program earlier this year.

Sixty-seven countries operate Hercules, and the support and upgrading of those aircraft is a primary focus for the new organization. As the original equipment manufacturer of this famous airlifter, Lockheed Martin is dedicated to the longevity and operability of the Hercules.
