Lockheed Martin did not provide figures for fixing glitch classified as ‘Priority One’ by Pentagon.
The distracting green glow was deemed so critical that restrictions were imposed on some night landings on aircraft carriers, and the fault was classified as a “Priority One” fix by the Pentagon’s test office.Defence giant Lockheed Martin Corp has been contracted by the F-35 Joint Programme Office for the redesign, modifying headpieces by installing new organic light-emitting diodes to replace traditional liquid crystal displays.
OLED technology can provide a number of manufacturing and user benefits over older LCD alternatives, including the use of flexible screens, improved picture quality and quicker response times, and are used in flat-panel TVs, smartphones and digital wristwatches.The contract announcement for new helmet displays comes just days before a joint hearing of House Armed Services Committee panels into the troubled US$406 billion F-35 programme, the most expensive weapon project in history.
