Elbit Systems of America has secured a contract to develop panoramic cockpit display units for the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft.

The deal was awarded by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

The development contract for the Technology Refresh 3, panoramic cockpit display unit is said to expand Elbit’s work on the F-35, which already provides power amplifiers, structures, and sustainment work for the aircraft.

Elbit Systems of America, along with Rockwell Collins, also supplies the F-35 helmet-mounted display system, through their joint venture (JV) Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems (RCEVS).

Elbit Systems of America president and CEO Raanan Horowitz said: "Elbit Systems of America continues to demonstrate that we are a trusted and highly-capable partner for the F-35 programme.

"We are committed to ensuring the success of our customer and the pilots who depend on our equipment to accomplish their mission."
