Survitec Equipment Selected for F-16
Survitec was recently awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin to develop new flight equipment as part of a capability upgrade for the mission proven F-16 in service with air forces worldwide.
Survitec will leverage its 70 years of experience in designing and certifying high-performance functional garments to meet the safety and comfort needs of pilots operating the latest F-16 configuration.
The F-16 Pilot Flight Equipment will use a fully modular design employed on F-35 Lightning II. Survitec holds the sole source contract for the full below-neck Pilot Flight Ensemble (PFE).
The equipment currently being developed will deliver excellent levels of pilot comfort and mobility whilst operating the aircraft and use the latest Survival Technology to provide protection during all phases of flight, ejection, and post-ejection survival, including in-water flotation and thermal protection. An extensive range of sizes and adjustment features will ensure excellent anthropometric fit across the full range of male and female pilots.
Using its position as a leader in military aircrew protection, Survitec is looking to the future with concepts already developed for the next generation of combat aircraft as well as continuing to develop capacities for existing fleets operating around the world.
