SAN JOSE, Calif. (May 22, 2002) - Kaiser Electronics, a Rockwell Collins business, has been selected by The Boeing Company to supply the cockpit display suite
for the new production F-15K aircraft. The contract award is potentially worth $34 million.
The cockpit display suite will include three five-inch Flat Panel Color Displays (FPCDs), four six-inch Multipurpose Displays
(MPDs) and a Wide Field of View (HFOV) Head Up Display (HUD). The FPCDs and MPDs both use Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display
(AMLCD) technology.

the U.S. Air Force Boeing F-15E program. The F-15K displays will be retrofit compatible with the USAF and international inventory
of F-15 aircraft.
