Goodrich - Farnborough International Airshow 2008

• System will be installed on new Block 52+ F-16 fighters

Goodrich Corporation has received a contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide its advanced DB-110 airborne reconnaissance system for the Royal Moroccan Air Force’s (RMAF) new Block 52+ F-16 fighters. The Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract calls for Goodrich to provide four F-16 reconnaissance pods, data links, multiple ground exploitation systems and related support services. Work will be performed by the company’s ISR Systems teams in Chelmsford, Mass. and Malvern, UK.

Goodrich's DB-110 digital, real-time, tactical reconnaissance system allows pilots to capture images day or night using electro-optical sensor technology. Images can then be transmitted to analysts on the ground in real time. The system has been selected by six NATO and major non-NATO ally nations, and has flown successfully on F-16s operated by the Hellenic and Polish Air Forces. In addition, it is in use on the U.K. Royal Air Force’s Tornado attack aircraft and the Japanese Marine Self Defense Force P-3C maritime patrol aircraft.

Tom Bergeron, President, ISR Systems, Goodrich, said, “The DB-110 system represents the highest reconnaissance capabilities within NATO and provides full interoperability among NATO nation operators. Successful experience on F-16 aircraft in both Greece and Poland assures that the RMAF can expect to receive a high-performance, low-risk proven solution.”

The DB-110 is the most advanced electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) reconnaissance pod available for the F-16, providing a long-range, high-resolution, stand off imaging capability to support tactical operations. The on-board system can be operated autonomously, with the DB-110 being controlled by the pod's reconnaissance management system. Imagery is viewed on the F-16’s cockpit video display, enabling the pilot to verify targets and conduct tasks such as battle damage assessment. The real-time display also gives the aircrew the ability to seek out targets of opportunity or select a different route to a selected target.

Morocco is acquiring 24 Lockheed Martin Block 52+ F-16 advanced multi-role fighters under the FMS program.

“As one of the longest-established aerospace companies in the UK, we are proud to be part of the Vulcan to the Sky restoration project,” said Davison. “Apart from the heritage aspects of the program and the extraordinary sight of this beautiful aircraft in flight, the long term educational benefits for students and the general public are considerable.”

The Avro Vulcan was developed after World War II, when the Cold War ushered in the need for strategic bombers that could carry heavy bomb loads long distances at high speeds and high altitudes. With a wingspan of 111 feet and four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, the Vulcan became a symbol of British engineering excellence, flying gracefully at altitudes up to 61,000 feet, yet maintaining unequalled maneuverability at altitudes as low as 500 feet.
