PODCAST
PODCAST: Driving openarchitectures in F-35 avionics andother military platforms.
Open architectures will make techrefreshes such as the latestavionics modernization(Technology Refresh 3 (TR3)) onthe F-35 Joint Strike Fighter andother platforms much moreefficient and cost effective in the
long run. In the latest McHale Report Podcast, BryantHenson, vice president and general manager for HarrisCorporation?s Electronic Systems Avionics BusinessUnit details how through the open architectureapproach, the F-35's next-gen Integrated CoreProcessor (ICP) is targeted to generate a 75 percentreduction in unit cost compared to the current system.
