The Kansas Air National Guard has diagnostic equipment for the B-1
bomber that has an HP1000 at the heart of it. Want to enlist? ;-)

Also, I used to sit next to an RCE that did HP1000's. He had to make an
onsite trip. Onsite was a large oil tanker. The HP1000 was used to
control the loading/offloading of the oil. Had something to do with
keeping the ship in trim. You don't want to empty the whole tank at one
end or side of the ship all at once while the other end is full. 8-O
