F-15E core processor to be repaired
Honeywell International will repair the advanced display core processor (ADCP) and digital mapping service on Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft.
Under a $20.8 million contract from the US Air Force Sustainment Center, Honeywell will carry out the work at Robins AFB in Georgia for completion by mid-August 2025.
This award is the result of a sole-source acquisition, the DoD stated on 20 August.
ADCP, which is based on COTS technology, provides multi-core processing capabilities for the embedded computer systems on board the F-15E.
High-speed processing and interface designs are intended to enable advanced systems integration, increased mission effectiveness, augmented fault-tolerance, enhanced system stability and aircrew survivability.
