BEL produces cockpit sub-assembly for Boeing aircraft

Bangalore: State-owned defence undertaking, Bharat Electronics Ltd. has produced a cockpit sub-assembly for Boeing's EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft, the public sector unit announced on Wednesday.
On May 3, Boeing delivered to the US Navy the first EA-18G to feature the sub-assembly, according to a press statement released by the Bangalore-based defence PSU.
The sub-assembly provides cockpit flood-lighting compatible with the aircraft's Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS). Other EA-18G parts produced by BEL include a complex-machined stowage panel for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System connector cable, and an avionics cooling system fan test switch panel with an NVIS-compatible floodlight assembly.
"BEL's work on P-8I, Super Hornets and Growlers is another example of how Indian companies are becoming a part of the global supply chain while Boeing helps them expand their opportunities across the global aerospace industry," Dennis Swanson,
