DLS upgrades data transfer systems on Danish F-16s

News | 20 Jul 2004 23:00

Data Link Solutions (DLS), a BAE systems (Outside E14) /Rockwell Collins (Hall 4, F13) company, has won a contract to supply its Multi-Functional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Low Volume Terminals (LVT) to the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF). The deal forms part of RDAF's MLU upgrade programme to provide Link 16 capability on its fleet of Lockheed Martin F-16 aircraft. MIDS Link 16 provides the aircraft with better situational awareness and ensures RDAF interoperability with NATO and other coalition forces. The system provides real-time, jam-resistant secure transfer of combat data, voice and navigation information. Pilots can exchange digital data over a common communication link that is continuously and automatically updated in real time. This enables them to see the battle space, including targets and threats, and reduces the risk of friendly fire. DLS has also won a $48.3m order to provide MIDS LVTs to the US Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Chttp://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/DLS-upgrades-data-transfer-systems-on-Danish-F-16s-184738/

Danish delight at Bombardier order

News | 25 Jul 2000 23:00

The Royal Danish Air Force has ordered two additional Challenger 604s from Bombardier Aerospace to add to the Challenger they bought two years ago. Like the initial Challenger 604, which was delivered to the RDAF last November, the two new aircraft will be used in a multi-role capability, supporting maritime surveillance missions (fisheries protection and anti-pollution) as well as search and rescue throughout Danish coastal areas in Europe and Greenland. They will also provide the government with long range VIP transportation capability and medical evacuation. All three Challengers aircraft will be based initially at Vaerloese, north of Copenhagen. The two Challengers will roll out of Bombardier¹s production facility in Montreal later this year. Pilot training is being provided at the Bombardier Aerospace Training Centre in Montreal.
