Why The C-17 Globemaster Is Getting A Complete Digital Cockpit Overhaul To Fly Until 2075

The BoeingC-17 Globemaster III is set to undergo a complete digital cockpit overhaul soon because critical avionics components, specifically mission computers and multifunction displays, are projected to run out of spare parts by fiscal year 2027, while the US Air Force plans to keep the 275-aircraft fleet operational until at least 2075. Under a $266.6 million contract awarded in December 2025, Boeing will replace legacy systems with a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA), enabling faster upgrades and ensuring long-term sustainability.
