Rockwell Collins Australia produces 100th F-35 DAS optical assembly

Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne has joined Rockwell Collins Australia at its facility in Sydney to witness the production of its 100th optical 
assembly for the electro-optical AAQ-37 Distributed Aperture System (DAS) for the F-35 Lightning II.
Rockwell Collins Australia expects to produce more than 7,000 of these assemblies across the life of the Joint Strike Fighter program, representing at least 
40 per cent of global production, Minister Pyne said in a statement.
Developed by Northrop Grumman, the DAS is a 360-degree situational awareness system that is intended to warn of incoming aircraft and missile threats, as 
well as providing day/night vision, fire-control capability and precision tracking of friendly Aircraft for tactical manoeuvring.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes.

Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year.
