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 of MMC with the M8.0.3 OFP and fielding of PDG 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.
