Lockheed Martin has selected BAE Systems to replace the head-up display (HUD) on the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter with an all-digital version. BAE’s Electronic Systems business unit at Rochester in the UK will provide its digital light engine (DLE) for a development contract that is expected to lead to full production for the entire U.S. Air Force F-22 fleet.
