Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman Offer Airborne Vigilance At Lower Cost
The Vigilance pod is fully self-contained, with its own cooling system. The APG-80 radar was first fitted to F-16 Block 60 fighters sold to the UAE Air Force. A UK Royal Navy Merlin helicopter (left) fitted with the prototype Vigilance pod is to make test flights shortly, as the pod has already completed ground testing.
