CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodrich
Corporation has received a contract from the U.S. Air Force to
provide its advanced DB-110 airborne reconnaissance system for the
Royal Saudi Air Force F-15S Modernization Program. The
Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract calls for Goodrich to provide
10 dual-band reconnaissance pods from its Westford, Mass. facility and five fixed,
transportable and mobile ground exploitation stations from its
Malvern, UK facility. The program also includes extensive
training and logistics support.
Saudi Arabia is the 10th
country to select Goodrich's DB-110 system.
Andrew Chrostowski, vice
president of Goodrich's ISR Systems business said, "This is an
important selection by the Royal Saudi Air Force for our DB-110
reconnaissance system for their F-15 aircraft. It is the
first F-15 program for the DB-110 and will certify our system for
operation on that platform."

system captures images day and night using electro-optical/infrared
sensor technology. Images can then be transmitted in real-time to
analysts on the ground as well as viewed on the cockpit video
display, enabling the pilot to verify targets and re-task based on
opportunities revealed during the mission.
