Terma has been awarded a $9 million contract under its Self-Protection Systems (SPS) business to equip the United States Air Force Combat Command’s (USAF ACC) F-16 fighter jet with 3D audio.

This contract will allow Air Force Combat Command to upgrade its F-16 fleet with critical Terma equipment over the next two years.

Terma Self-Protection Systems Vice President Rob Strasser said, “With this award, the 3D-Audio program continues to be an important cornerstone of our offerings to meet the global community’s demand for best-in-class audio systems.”

The F-16 is a compact, multi-role fighter capable of detecting targets in all weather conditions and detecting low-flying aircraft in radar jammed environments on the ground.

In air-to-surface mode, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles, accurately deliver its weapons, defend against enemy aircraft and return to its starting point.

The aircraft is equipped with UHF and VHF radios, an instrument landing system, a warning system and modular countermeasures to counter airborne or surface electronic threats.
