Indonesia equips pilots with GECO Air
Inzpire’s GECO Air tablet-based mission system has entered into service with the Indonesian Air Force after successfully passing flight test, the company announced on 5 December.
Inzpire signed a contract to deliver the system to Indonesia earlier this year.
GECO Air is designed to complement existing on-board avionics systems by bringing modern and powerful commercial off-the-shelf hardware technology to the cockpit. The system will be used by Su-27, Su-30, F-16, Hawk, T-50 and Super Tucano platforms.
GECO’s suite of situational awareness and safety assistance apps includes advanced navigation overlaid on a wide range of mapping and satellite imagery, a worldwide aeronautical database and tactical applications such as advanced threat displays. All these apps are designed to improve situational awareness and enhance decision making.
