Airborne Systems
The Brains & The Brawn Inside The World's Most Sophisticated Aircraft
From airborne computers that process and display mission data in the cockpit, to crypto products for identifying friendly aircraft, and weapon control systems that enable the launch and control of precision guided weapons, we work to ensure the world's most advanced aircraft maintain air superiority and information dominance.
Advanced Mission Computer
Our Advanced Mission Computer processes mission data and serves as the "brain" for the U.S. Navy’s F/A -18 Super Hornet.
General Dynamics provides mission computers to every F/A-18 ever built. These highly reliable mission and display processing systems provide warfighters with extraordinary levels of mission effectiveness now and into the future.
