Lockheed Wins RDAF Pact Lockheed Wins RDAF Pact Lockheed Wins RDAF Pact

Lockheed Martin, Bethesda, Md., was awarded a 26-month, $20 million contract by the Royal Denmark Air Force for its Lantirn Extended Range (ER) targeting pods. The contract is for three new pods and upgrades to RDAF’s 13 existing pods, and includes spares, maintenance training and pilot familiarization training. "The system delivers consistently excellent performance during air-to-ground, air-to-air or air-to-sea missions, during day or night, in virtually any weather," said Jim Garrison, LANTIRN ER program manager at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. The Lantirn ER targeting pod features a third-generation mid-wave forward-looking infrared (FLIR), an infrared pointer, an inertial measurement unit and extended range software. The RDAF targeting pods were upgraded in a previous contract to include a CCD TV, 40,000-foot laser and a laser spot tracker. More
