ORLANDO, Fla.--Lockheed Martin [LMT] thinks the sophisticated passive detection and tracking system that it is building for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) has applications for additional stealthy platforms like the Northrop Grumman [NOC] B-2A bomber and future unmanned combat aircraft, a company official said here on Wednesday."We are looking to see how we can migrate it to other platforms," said Don Bolling, business development manager for the JSF Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS). "The B-2 would be an opportunity. We think it would be a great fit."
Bolling's comments came during a meeting with reporters at the company's Missiles and Fire Control facility here.
EOTS is an infrared (IR)-based sensor system that will fit inside of the underside nose of the JSF aircraft. The system is about the size of an old-style 17-inch computer monitor and weighs slightly less than 200 pounds, Bolling said.
