Rolling Meadows – June 1, 2009 —L-3 Communications Electrodynamics (EDI) announced today that it has supplied its SRVIVR Cockpit Voice Flight Data Recorder (CVFDR) to Northrop Grumman for integration on its RQ-4B Euro Hawk variant of the RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV. The Euro Hawk will serve as part of the German Air Force's high altitude long endurance (HALE) surveillance and reconnaissance system.
“Northrop’s selection of SRVIVR for this important program demonstrates the value that reduced size and weight offers for unmanned aerial systems” said Donald Spetter, L-3 EDI President. “In addition, the flexibility that SRVIVR provides makes it ideal for manned and unmanned aircraft whether military or commercial”.
The SRVIVR family of small and lightweight CVFDRs was designed to meet or exceed the requirements of EUROCAE ED-112, which defines the minimum operational performance specifications for crash protected airborne recorder systems. In addition to its robust design, SRVIVR is the smallest and lightest crash recorder in use today weighing as little as 4.5 lbs.
