RTX has announced that BAE Systems has selected Collins Aerospace, a business unit of RTX, as the provider for Large Area Display (LAD) technology to be integrated into the cockpits of future Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. This ultra-high-definition display will be used as part of BAE Systems’ Project Medulla, an investment in future technologies for its combat air portfolio. Collins Aerospace will collaborate with BAE Systems to develop a Large Area Display solution that leverages existing, field-proven design elements while incorporating the latest available display technologies, minimizing obsolescence and development schedule risks.
The Large Area Display (LAD) will serve as a crucial tool for Typhoon pilots, consolidating critical flight data, sensor inputs, and tactical information into a single, easily accessible interface. This real-time data integration from radar, targeting systems, and threat detection will provide pilots with an up-to-the-second view of the battlefield, enabling rapid and precise decision-making during high-stakes engagements.
