MMC Upgrade / Display Generator Upgrade on F-16 aircraft

Abstract

The MMC upgrade on the F-16 post-block aircraft, Blk 40, 42, 50, 52 resolves shortfalls in mission computer memory and throughput. Funding includes NRE, design, development, integration, and ground/flight test for fielding with the M8.1 OFP. The addition of an Ethernet High Speed Data Network (HSDN) facilitates future increments of combat capability with the OFP and system compatibility/interoperability (e.g., digital targeting pod video). The Programmable Display Generator (PDG)upgrade allows a fully integrated Multifunction Display solution including Hands On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) integration with Sensor of Interest (SOI), format swapping and high definition video on 4x4 displays; provides improved display formats during dynamic maneuvers; resolves symbol freezing issues due to throughput constraints; and provides a sustainable approach to address growing DMS concerns with the current Programmable Display Generator.
