Lockheed Martin Corp. will develop its latest Infrared Search and Track target pod for the F-15C Eagle fleet in an effort to get the most up-to-date targeting tech for the fourth-generation fighter, the company announced this week.
“Lockheed Martin will produce more than 130 systems, which will be delivered for aircraft integration,” the company said in a release.
The announcement came during the Air Force Association’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference.
Dubbed the “Legion Pod,” the latest system provides long-range detection and tracking of airborne threats in radar-denied environments.
But Boeing will award Lockheed “an engineering, manufacturing, development and production contract for Legion Pod in 2018,” the release said.
