The workstation is the aircrew’s primary interface to
mission-critical systems, allowing them to successfully navigate
demanding anti-submarine, anti-surface, and intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. There are two systems
per aircraft, which control the aircraft’s sonar, radar, sensors,
and weapon systems.
“Our mission computing and display system provides the
reliability required for aircrews to operate in challenging
environments,” said Donna Linke-Klein, director of Tactical Systems
at BAE Systems. “This newly qualified workstation will enable
superior mission computing performance while providing size,
weight, power, and ergonomic benefits.”
Built with ultra-strong lightweight composite materials, the
workstations improve aircraft and weapon systems’ performance. They
are also designed with ergonomic considerations, such as an optimal
viewing angle for both seated and standing crewmembers.
With installation potential on approximately 130 aircraft for
the U.S. Navy, and additional Foreign Military Sale opportunities,
this qualification, completed at the BAE Systems’ Greenlawn, New
York site, also positions the workstations for mission enhancements
on future aircraft.
BAE Systems has been designing and manufacturing cost-effective
military computer and display systems for more than 50 years. The
company provides state-of-the-art identification and mission
computing products, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf hardware to
develop modular, scalable, and flexible systems that reduce
development costs for new and emerging platforms.
