Abstract:
NAVMRWARCENACDIV Warminster began working on an integrated Tomcat NVIS compatible cockpit nearly 8 years ago. This effort continued for many years and would have ultimately been incorporated into the Block 1 upgrade to the F-14. However, F-14 upgrade plans changed, and the Warminster efforts shifted to designing a nonintegral (and less expensive) NVO cockpit. Independently, several years ago, the Red Rippers of VF-11 set out to find a low cost NVU compatible kit for their F-14D's. Working with industry to design a proof of concept cockpit, they successfully enlisted the help of a manufacturer and installed NVIS filters over many of their displays. Finally, in 1994, the F-14 Program Manager initiated a program to develop NVIS compatible cockpit lighting kits for the F-14 series using the best of the Warminster and VF-11 developed components.
