Air Force F-16 jet fighter uses MTC for digital maps

Designers with the U.S. Air Force needed a map display system for the F-16 fighter jet. They found a solution with MTC Technologies Inc. in Dayton, Ohio.

Under a one-year, $2.4 million contract, the Ogden Air Logistics Center F-16 System Program Office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, awarded a task order to update the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Command F-16 aircraft Block 25/30/32 Color Multi-Function Display System (CMFDS).

CMFDS is a recent upgrade to the F-16 Block 25/30/32, which uses firmware/software upgrades to accommodate the digital moving map requirements. Two additional option years bring the contract’s total potential value to $5 million.

As the prime contractor, MTC will provide overall program management of the three-year task order from its Systems Support Division, Ogden Operations Office in Utah. Subcontractor EFW Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, will provide firmware/hardware updates for the project. For more information, see www.mtctechnologies.com.
