LAS VEGAS, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The Air Force's top fighter pilot received a hands-on demonstration of a new targeting system for the military's top-line fighter jets.
Lockheed Martin said Tuesday Gen. Hal Hornburg, head of the Air Force's Air Combat Command, spent an hour in an F-15 over Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada using the Sniper XR Advance Targeting Pod in a variety of tactical situations.
The Sniper XR is being developed to ferret out targets at three times the distance of current targeting equipment and relies heavily on lasers and high-speed data processing.
Lockheed Martin foresees using the system on the Air Force F-16 and F-15 fighters as well as the A-10 attack plane and the Navy's F/A-18 carrier jet.
