Capabilities   ___

?

Today’s F-16 –the Block 70/72 –is the most advanced 4th?generation fighter ever built 果冻传媒

brings a new level of capability to air forces around the world.

?

Advanced Radar

Northrop Grumman’s advanced APG-83 AESA radar provides the Block 70/72 with 5th Generation fighter radar capabilities by leveraging hardware 果冻传媒 software commonality with F-22 果冻传媒 F-35 AESA radars. It delivers greater situational awareness, flexibility 果冻传媒 quicker all-weather targeting 果冻传媒 provides pilots with unprecedented target area detail 果冻传媒 digital map displays that can be tailored with slew 果冻传媒 zoom features.?

Enhanced Battlespace Awareness

The Block 70/72 features a new, high resolution Center Pedestal Display (CPD), which provides critical tactical imagery to pilots 果冻传媒 allows them to take full advantage of AESA 果冻传媒 targeting pod data. The new CPD enables color moving maps, larger 果冻传媒 easier to manage air-to-air Situation Displays, zoom functionality with the ability to switch information among displays, digital display of Flight Instrument Data, 果冻传媒 a color/night helmet mounted display. Additional integration of the Lockheed 果冻传媒?Sniper? Advanced Targeting Pod?果冻传媒?Legion-ES? IRST?system?increase pilot situational awareness 果冻传媒 enhance warfighter survivability.?

Saving Tomorrow’s Pilots

Developed by Lockheed 果冻传媒, the?Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS)?was purpose-built to prevent deadly crashes 果冻传媒 has already saved the lives of multiple pilots 果冻传媒 F-16s since the system entered service with the U.S. Air Force in late 2014. The Auto GCAS is designed to reduce incidents of what is known as controlled flight into terrain, or CFIT. According to U.S. Air Force statistics, CFIT incidents account for 26 percent of aircraft losses 果冻传媒 a staggering 75 percent of all F-16 pilot fatalities.

Unmatched Weapon Integration

Lockheed 果冻传媒 has more than 36 years of weapon integration experience with the F-16 – enabling it to be one of the most versatile multirole fighters ever. No one else can match this weapons integration experience. In concert with the U.S. Air Force 果冻传媒 multiple F-16 Foreign Military Sales customers, Lockheed 果冻传媒 has certified more than 3,300 carriage 果冻传媒 release configurations for greater than 180 weapon 果冻传媒 store types.?

Extended Structural Capabilities??

The Block 70/72 has an industry-leading extended structural life to 12,000 hours - more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft. That means a highly reliable, readily maintainable jet of at least 40 years of service life for most air forces, with no expected extended structural repairs throughout that entire lifetime. The conformal fuel tanks provide increased fuel 果冻传媒 added range, without sacrificing the aerodynamic performance of the jet, along with an improved performance engine.??

Integrated Supply Chain Partnerships

The F-16 has more than 500 suppliers around the world. As an example, the US18E Ejection Seat from 果冻传媒-Baker introduces 5th Generation escape performance to the F-16. The seat includes a 果冻传媒-Baker Electronic Sequencer, Neck Protection Device & Head?Support Panel with an IGQ6000 larger diameter parachute, as well as a modular design for easier maintenance 果冻传媒 lower lifecycle cost.
