Teen solves centuries-old math problem
SEOUL, July 6 (UPI) -- South Korean electronics maker LIG Nex1 has signed an $8 million contract with Rockwell Collins for head-up data display units for U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters.
The displays will also be delivered to the air forces of three other country's that fly the jet, LIG Nex1 said in a news release.
The HUD is an instrument that's placed above the cockpit instrument glare shield for viewing data. It allows a pilot to view the information through a transparent screen as the flyer continues to look forward.
HUDs are specifically designed to improve pilot situational awareness.
The company, in a news release Thursday, said it had made and delivered 140 HUDs since 2004 under earlier contracts.
LIG NEX1 said it first won a subcontract from Rockwell Collins to develop the HUD system as part of a 2002 offset deal with Boeing.
Countries flying the F-15 fighter, in addition to the United States, are Israel, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
