Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) and Rockwell Collins (NYSE: COL) have successfully demonstrated that a prototype of a new digital cockpit display for the U.S. Air Force's B-2 stealth bomber can accurately replicate the functions of the jet's current analog displays.
Known as a "brassboard," the prototype of the new Multi-function Display Unit Replacement (MDU-R) is a critical first step in developing the "smarter," higher resolution display needed for future B-2 modernization efforts. The demonstration was completed here July 29 at the Weapon Systems Support Center, an Air Force test facility.
Northrop Grumman is the Air Force's prime contractor for the B-2, the flagship of the nation's long range strike arsenal. Rockwell Collins developed the MDU-R brassboard under contract to Northrop Grumman.
"The new digital MDU-R display will help lay the foundation for an all-digital B-2 cockpit in the future," said Dave Mazur, vice president of long range strike for Northrop Grumman's Integrated Systems sector. "It will also significantly ease the workload of B-2 pilots while increasing their overall mission effectiveness."
