These systems are used aboard F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 combat aircraft. They allow pilots to designate a target by turning their head, without having to point the aircraft directly at it.

Morocco is among thirteen foreign clients covered by this contract, alongside Greece, Singapore, Chile, Denmark, Norway, Thailand, Oman, Taiwan, Portugal, Canada, Switzerland and Australia.

The total amount does not correspond to a separate Moroccan order. It covers the needs of the U.S. Air Force and Navy as well as those of the various countries served under foreign military sales.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the contract was awarded without competitive bidding, as the supplier is considered the only one capable of meeting the specified requirements.
