Honeywell sub-contracts - $3.6m

Sypris Electronics of Tampa, FL has been awarded a $3.6 million contract by Honeywell International, Inc., Defense and Space Electronic Systems (DSES) to produce various units for the F-16 Digital Flight Control Computer (DFLCC). The flight-critical DFLCC is a quadruple redundant computer at the core of the fly-by-wire flight control system for the F-16. The DFLCC combines pilot inputs along with aircraft motion and flight conditions to command position of the flight control surfaces for increased aircraft performance and survivability. The F-16 Fighting Falcon, first introduced in 1978, is a lightweight, multi-role fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force by Lockheed Martin.
