FARNBOROUGH, England, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW --
The Pratt & Whitney F100 engine family -- which includes the PW-100, -200,
-220 and -229 engine models -- recently surpassed 22 million operational
flight hours. The F100 engine powers the F-16 and F-15 military fighter
jets operated by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and air forces in 22
nations. Morocco will become the 23rd nation to operate the F100 engine
when delivery of its F100 powered F-16s begins in 2010. Pratt & Whitney is
a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company.
"The F100 propulsion system has proven its reliability, dependability
and exceptional performance time and time again in military forces around
the world," said Warren Boley, vice president, Pratt & Whitney Military
Programs and Customer Support. "We strive to provide our customers not only
the highest quality products, but an unmatched level of service and support
so they can successfully accomplish their critical missions. And we're
proud to celebrate 22 million hours of doing just that."
The F100 engine entered service in 1974 and is expected to remain
operational through 2035. Pratt & Whitney has delivered 7,170 F100 engines
to customers around the world and currently has firm commitments for 149
more.
The F100-PW-229 Engine Enhancement Package (EEP) is the latest
evolution of the F100 family of fighter aircraft engines, the safest
fighter engines in U.S. Air Force history. Through the incorporation of
technology developed for the F135 and F119, the world's only fifth
generation fighter jet engines, the PW-229 EEP engine will provide
advanced, dependable power for F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft around the
world. The development of the PW-229 EEP was initiated to increase the
engine depot inspection interval from 4,300 to 6,000 cycles, while
maintaining the 29,100 pound thrust rating. This increase is equivalent to
extending the depot maintenance interval from seven years to 10 years, a 30
percent life cycle cost reduction over the life of a PW-229 EEP engine. The
F100-PW-229 EEP engine is the only fighter engine funded and qualified by
the U.S. Air Force to the 6,000 cycle capability.
Pratt & Whitney military engines include the F100 that powers the F-16

Royal Moroccan Air Force Selects Goodrich DB-110 Airborne Reconnaissance System System will be installed on new Block 52+ F-16 fighters
Last update: 1:05 a.m. EDT July 14, 2008
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 14, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- (Farnborough International Airshow)
Goodrich Corporation has received a contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide its advanced DB-110 airborne reconnaissance system for the Royal Moroccan Air Force's (RMAF) new Block 52+ F-16 fighters. The Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract calls for Goodrich to provide four F-16 reconnaissance pods, data links, multiple ground exploitation systems and related support services. Work will be performed by the company's ISR Systems teams in Chelmsford, Mass. and Malvern, UK.
Goodrich's DB-110 digital, real-time, tactical reconnaissance system allows pilots to capture images day or night using electro-optical sensor technology. Images can then be transmitted to analysts on the ground in real time. The system has been selected by six NATO and major non-NATO ally nations, and has flown successfully on F-16s operated by the Hellenic and Polish Air Forces. In addition, it is in use on the U.K. Royal Air Force's Tornado attack aircraft and the Japanese Marine Self Defense Force P-3C maritime patrol aircraft.
Tom Bergeron, President, ISR Systems, Goodrich, said, "The DB-110 system represents the highest reconnaissance capabilities within NATO and provides full interoperability among NATO nation operators. Successful experience on F-16 aircraft in both Greece and Poland assures that the RMAF can expect to receive a high-performance, low-risk proven solution."
The DB-110 is the most advanced electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) reconnaissance pod available for the F-16, providing a long-range, high-resolution, stand off imaging capability to support tactical operations. The on-board system can be operated autonomously, with the DB-110 being controlled by the pod's reconnaissance management system. Imagery is viewed on the F-16's cockpit video display, enabling the pilot to verify targets and conduct tasks such as battle damage assessment. The real-time display also gives the aircrew the ability to seek out targets of opportunity or select a different route to a selected target.
Morocco is acquiring 24 Lockheed Martin Block 52+ F-16 advanced multi-role fighters under the FMS program.

La Force aérienne royale marocaine choisit le système de reconnaissance en vol Goodrich DB-110
CHARLOTTE, Caroline du Nord, July 14 /PRNewswire/ --
- Le système sera installé sur les nouveaux chasseurs Block 52+ F-16
(Salon international de l'aviation de Farnborough) Goodrich Corporation (NYSE : GR) a été mandatée par les Forces aériennes américaines (U.S. Air Force) pour installer son système de reconnaissance en vol avancé DB-110 sur les nouveaux chasseurs Block 52+ F-16 de la Force aérienne royale marocaine (Royal Moroccan Air Force, RMAF). Selon les termes du contrat de vente militaire étrangère (VME), Goodrich fournira quatre nacelles de reconnaissance F-16, des réseaux de transmission, plusieurs systèmes d'exploitation au sol et des services de soutien connexes. Les équipes des systèmes ISR, basées à Chelmsford, dans le Massachusetts, et à Malvern, au Royaume-Uni, se chargeront de ce contrat.
Le système numérique de reconnaissance tactique en temps réel DB-110 de Goodrich permet aux pilotes de recueillir des images de jour ou de nuit à l'aide d'une technologie de capteurs électro-optiques. Les images peuvent ensuite être transmises en temps réel à des analystes basés au sol. Ce système a été choisi par six des principales nations alliées membres et non membres de l'OTAN, et a été utilisé lors d'opérations réussies par les F-16 des Forces aériennes grecques et polonaises. De plus, le système a été installé sur l'avion d'attaque Tornado des Forces aériennes royales britanniques (U.K. Royal Air Force), ainsi que sur le patrouilleur maritime P-3C des Forces de défense maritime japonaises (Japanese Marine Self Defense Force).
Tom Bergeron, président de la division des systèmes ISR de Goodrich, a déclaré : << Le système DB-110 est le système de l'OTAN offrant les capacités de reconnaissance les plus évoluées, en plus d'être entièrement interopérable avec les systèmes des exploitants des pays membres de l'OTAN. La réussite des opérations menées par les F-16 grecs et polonais garantit que la RMAF peut s'attendre à recevoir une solution éprouvée, peu risquée et très performante. >>
Le DB-110 est le système de reconnaissance électro-optique infrarouge (EO/IR) le plus évolué pouvant être installé sur un F-16. Il offre une capacité d'imagerie à distance haute résolution et à longue portée permettant de soutenir les opérations tactiques. Ce système de bord peut fonctionner de manière autonome ; le DB-110 est alors contrôlé par le système de gestion de la reconnaissance de la nacelle. Les images sont affichées sur l'écran du cockpit du F-16, ce qui permet au pilote de vérifier les cibles et d'effectuer des tâches telles que l'évaluation des dommages causés par les combats. L'affichage en temps réel permet également à l'équipage de localiser les cibles potentielles ou de choisir un itinéraire différent pour atteindre une cible choisie.
Le Maroc fait l'acquisition de 24 chasseurs polyvalents avancés Lockheed Martin Block 52+ F-16 dans le cadre du programme de VME.
