Planar Advance and dpiX win display contract
Planar Advance Inc. (Beaverton, OR) and dpiX (Palo Alto, CA) have been awarded a production contract by L-3 Display Systems (New York, NY) to deliver a flat-panel-display subassembly for the US Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The Eagle-5M displays from Planar and dpiX will be incorporated into the AH-64 Target Acquisition Designation System and Pilot Night Vision Program in a system supplied by Lockheed Martin Electronics and Missiles (Bethesda, MD). Each AH-64, manufactured by Boeing (Seattle, WA), will use an Eagle-5M display at the gunner/copilot seat, where the displays will provide weapons targeting and night-vision-system imagery.
