L-3 Partners with Thomas Global on CRT-to-LCD Upgrades
“This agreement builds on our recent award from ATR to provide an LCD display upgrade for its 42/72 aircraft,” said Stuart Mullan of L-3.

L-3 Global Products (Booth C8145) and Thomas Global Systems have signed an agreement to cooperate on the development of upgrades of specific cathode-ray-tube (CRT) displays to liquid-crystal-diode (LCD) displays used in aircraft cockpits. Expected benefits include elimination of CRT-related maintenance costs, downtime and obsolescence issues.

“This agreement builds on our recent award from ATR to provide an LCD display upgrade for its 42/72 aircraft [twin-turboprop regional airliners]. The ATR program is a springboard for CRT-to-LCD upgrades for other platforms,” said Stuart Mullan, president L-3 Aviation Products.
