US Marine Corps Boeing AV-8B Harrier Us will have their mission computers upgraded by General Dynamics Information Systems as part of the $6.1 million 18-month Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) programme, it was announced on September 5. The upgrade will give the aircraft an open architecture avionics system by installing an additional third-generation processor based on commercial off-the-shelf technology. The computer will run new navigation and other software developed for the Advanced Mission Computer on the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
