Uskoro ugovor za novi jednodelni displej za Block 3

Ovo je samo demonstrator



Citat:The US Navy (USN) is to proceed with the next phase of the Block 3 upgrade of its Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler combat aircraft, with a contract for a new large-area display (LAD) to be awarded shortly.

Following earlier contracts to develop and fit conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) and a Block 2 infrared search-and-track system (IRST) onto the Super Hornet, the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) disclosed on 2 October that it is to issue a sole-source contract to Boeing to incorporate the Advanced Cockpit System (ACS) upgrade into F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft.

“The ACS installs a 10×19 [inch] large-area display (LAD) into the forward and aft cockpits of F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircraft. The ACS LAD replaces the 5×5 [inch] forward and aft advanced multipurpose displays [AMDs], the 8×10 [inch] aft AMD, the upfront control display replacement, and the multipurpose colour display,” according to the notification outlining the scope of the work. It continued, “To accommodate the LAD, the head-up display (HUD) and MARS HUD [Mission Assessment Recording System HUD] camera will be replaced with a low-profile HUD (LPHUD) and new-configuration HUD camera, and the engine fuel display/replacement (EFD/EFDR) will be replaced with a low-profile engine fuel display (LPEFD). The standby display/repeater (RSD/RSDR) will be added to aircraft that do not already have it incorporated. The high-speed video network (HSVN) digital video recorder (HDVR) is required prerequisite equipment for the ACS.”

The notification does not say when the contract will be awarded, and neither does it provide a timeline for the work.

Developed by Elbit Systems as the CockpitNG (Next Generation), the LAD for the Super Hornet and Growler is the same as that being fitted to the Boeing F-15 Advanced Eagle also. The LAD is built around a multifunctional display (MFD)
