A re-useable navigation-software module running on a commercial off-the-shelf processor has been successfully flight tested on a McDonnell Douglas (MDC) F-15. The re-useable software test was part of a wider three-flight programme in support of an MDC affordability project for the Joint Strike Fighter and current MDC production-aircraft programmes. In the first flight test around early April, an AV-8B Harrier II demonstrated the module with a commercial Power PC processor.
