Under the contract, the firm will also provide kits to upgrade existing Litening pods to G4 configuration for the Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard.
The pods feature a digital forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, a TV sensor, a laser target imaging system for target recognition in a range of conditions in the day or night and a plug-and-play data link to improve communications between airborne and ground forces.
