Lockheed Martin received a commercial sale contract from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) for Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATP) for its F-16 Block 52 aircraft. The contract, which includes integration, spares, support equipment and integrated logistics support, will expand the RSAF fleet of Sniper ATPs across its F-15 and F-16 aircraft. Contract values were not disclosed. Deliveries are set to begin in 2010. The Sniper ATP is flying on the U.S. Air Force and multinational F-16s, F-15s, B-1, F-18s, Harriers and A-10s and is being integrated on the B-52 aircraft. For related news
Honeywell Develops Analog Silicon Chip
Honeywell introduced a high temperature Silicon On Insulator electronic component with dual applications in the aerospace (in aircraft engines) and oil industries. “The aerospace and oil and natural gas industries each require high performance components that operate over wide temperature ranges,” said Brian Link, Business Director, Honeywell Defense and Space. “Honeywell’s Silicon On Insulator technology is critical for instrumentation and sensor measurements in these environments. The circuits can operate continuously under extreme conditions, and enable instrumentation for measuring parameters such as temperature, vibration, pressure, positioning, inclination and strain.
