Definition of the term 'multi-point refueling system ' per official documentation of the United States Department of Defense.
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. (JP 3-17) (US DoD)
