multi-point refueling system

multi-point refueling system
A limited number of KC-135 aircraft can be equipped with external wing-mounted pods to conduct drogue air refueling, while still maintaining boom air refueling capability on the same mission. This dual refueling capability makes KC135s with multi-point refueling systems ideal for use as ground alert aircraft. Also called MPRS. See also air refueling.
