L3’s Widow system was selected by Tactical Air Support, Inc.
(TacAir) for its fleet of supersonic F-5 fighter aircraft. Widow is
a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software offering that provides
TacAir cost savings, technological advancements and rapid
procurement. The system is designed for quick mission enhancement
for the most demanding operational requirements. The first flight
of Widow-equipped F-5 fighters is expected later this year.
“Widow is empowered for multi-mission ISR and strike platforms,
which is unique in that it enables weapons providers and fire
control developers to customize the systems that operate their
weapons without changing any of the core technology,” said Jeff
Miller, Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ISR
Systems. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate
with TacAir and contribute to its long and rich history of
providing world-class air support.”
A leader in Open Systems Architecture (OSA) for manned and
unmanned airborne platforms, L3 ForceX works seamlessly with the
integrated flight deck for a fully integrated F-5-equipped
solution. The supersonic F-5’s multi-role mission enables attack
aircraft to provide simulated air-to-air combat training, close-air
support training, tactics development and evaluation support. The
aircraft is also a critical tactical training resource for future
pilot training.

global ISR, communications and networked systems, and electronic
