REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM POTENTIAL MANUFACTURERS OF RUGGEDIZED MULTIFUNCTIONAL COLOR DISPLAYS (MFCD). THE F-16 DATALINK DATA PROCESSOR PROGRAM SEEKS INFORMATION FROM POTENTIAL MANUFACTURERS OF RUGGEDIZED MULTIFUNCTIONAL COLOR DISPLAYS (MFCD). Battelle Memorial Institute is disseminating this Request For Information (RFI) notice to solicit information from Display Manufacturers. Current monochrome display systems in the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) Block 25/30 F-16's are high maintenance/highcost items and are technologically unsupportable. Enhanced MFCDs are needed to meet the diverse and continually expanding mission requirements of the AFRC F-16 aircraft for the next decades. The upgrade effort will be accomplished by replacing the current monochrome display with a basic MFCD. Battelle Memorial Institute is under contract by the Air Force Reserve Command and is developing the detailed specification for the MFCD for the F-16 Block 25/30 to ultimately enhance the functionality, reliability, and maintainability of the current display capability. The preliminary MFCD specification is downloadable for review and comments from potential manufacturers at the website listed below. This website is password protected. Please contact the Battelle Memorial Institute Technical Contact for access. Battelle Memorial Institute is soliciting specific comments on this draft MFCD specification as well as preliminary cost information. Instructions for the technical comments/preliminary cost information feedback are provided on the website. WEB: F-16 documentation, http://www.battelle-f16-a10.org.
