F-16 Fighting Falcon

Message par malikos »

P.M.: pour ceux qui nous veulent faire croire que le radar MIG35 / alias C28A du ciel, est le non plus ultra de la technologie.
5th Generation Fighter Radar Capability for the F-16
The APG-83 is an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) fire control radar. Building on Northrop Grumman’s 40-year legacy producing radars for the F-16, it integrates within the aircraft's current structural, power and cooling constraints without Group A aircraft modification. The capabilities of this advanced AESA are derived from Northrop Grumman’s family of highly successful 5th generation fighter AESA radars, the F-22’s APG-77 and F-35’s APG-81.


Why Upgrade Now?
Today's battlespace becomes more challenging and dangerous every day. Technology is rapidly becoming more sophisticated and so is the threat. To counter these more sophisticated threats, the world's newest fighter aircraft are being equipped with AESA Radars. The greater bandwidth, speed, and agility of AESA radars enables fighter aircraft to detect, track, and identify a greater numbers of targets, faster and at longer ranges and to operate in hostile electronic environments. The APG-83 AESA provides the following capability enhancements over legacy mechanically scanned APG-66 & APG-68 radars to ensure F-16s remain operationally viable and sustainable for decades to come:

Autonomous, all-environment stand-off precision targeting
BIG SAR wide area high-res maps
High quality, coordinate generation
Greater target detection and tracking range
Faster search and target acquisition
Smaller target detection
Multi-target tracking
Robust electronic protection (A/A and A/G)
SABR 5th Gen Capability
Enhanced combat ID
Interleaved mode operations for greater situational awareness
Maritime modes
3-5X greater reliability and availability

The APG-83 is available today!
Production is underway for global F-16 upgrade programs, including the United States Air Force

The United States Air Force has selected Northrop Grumman’s APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) active electronically scanned array (AESA) to upgrade 72 Air National Guard F-16 Fighting Falcons for the air defense mission.

The U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) had earlier issued a Joint Emergent Operational Need for the upgraded radars as new threats to the American homeland have emerged over the years. In addition to terrorists groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) now worries about conventional military threats such as stealthy cruise missiles.


“AESA radar upgrades are critically important to give the F-16 community, the tactical advantage it deserves, and we are honored to provide this differentiating technology for the safety and mission effectiveness of our warfighters,” Bob Gough, Northrop Grumman’s vice president for combat avionics systems, said.

“The APG-83 SABR system is in full rate production and available now for U.S. and international F-16 upgrades.”

The addition of the APG-83 greatly increases the F-16’s capabilities against increasingly sophisticated threats that include new enemy cruise missiles as well as evermore-capable adversary fighters such as the Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker-E. Compared to the F-16’s existing APG-68 mechanically scanned radar, the APG-83—which leverages technology from the F-35’s APG-81—can detect, track and identify greater numbers of targets much faster and at much longer ranges.

The APG-83 also has much higher resolution than the current radar—which is why NORTHCOM wants the new AESA on its aircraft. As NORTHCOM commander Adm. Bill Gortney testified last year before the House Armed Services Committee, the Pentagon is increasingly concerned about the capabilities of new Russian cruise missiles.

“Russia possesses both conventional and nuclear cruise missiles with the range to reach North America and it has proliferated some advanced cruise missile technologies to other actors,” Gortney wrote.

“This threat is real and it is imperative that we develop effective response options to outpace the threat and enhance our deterrence.”

However, the APG-83 is also effective for expeditionary operations.

The new AESA radar can operate in conditions where there is heavy jamming and it also features all-weather, high-resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping capability. The later affords pilots a large all-weather high-resolution surface image for precision target identification and strikes. Indeed, the Air Force—in the years before sequestration (aka the Budget Control Act of 2011)—had intended to retrofit more than 300 of its F-16s with the new radar.

But while arbitrary sequestration budget cuts forced the Air Force to drop its broader F-16 upgrade plans, America’s international partners (Taiwan and the UAE for example) are increasingly interested in purchasing the APG-83 SABR for their Fighting Falcon fleets. The new APG-83 is also the standard radar for Lockheed Martin’s new Block 70 F-16, which the company hopes to export to India and others.

Ultimately, the APG-83 will probably become the standard radar for most of the F-16 fleets around the world. With the F-16 expected to remain in U.S. Air Force service for decades to come, it is only a matter of time before the service expands its APG-83 retrofit program.

The Air Force will award a contract Thursday to upgrade the radar of select F-16 jets, including eight stationed at the Air National Guard base at Tulsa International Airport.

The announcement from Oklahoma Congressman Jim Brindenstine says the new Active Electronically Steered Array [AESA] radar will enable smaller target detection, greater targeting range and the ability to engage multiple targets.

This considerably enhances the capability of Tulsa's F-16s, allowing for targeting at extended ranges to improve lethality against our enemies and survivability for ourselves. I have proposed increased spending for these systems in the current National Defense Authorization Act,” said Congressman Bridenstine.

The Air Force contract is with Northrop Grumman for 72 AESA radars, spares and support services. Delivery of the first radar is expected to be in December 2018.http://m.newson6.com/story.aspx?story=3 ... tId=112042

This fighter radar development
experience and expertise
is leveraged in SABR’s design,
which incorporates proven hardware
and advanced operating
modes from Northrop Grumman’s
F-35 and F-22 AESAs. Approximately
95 percent of SABR’s
mode suite comes directly from
the F-35’s AN/APG-81 AESA radar,

including robust and proven Electronic
Protection to counter the
most advanced threats.

F-16 Block 70
F-16 Fighting Falcon
MEET THE F-16 BLOCK 70
The F-16 Block 70 is unlike any fighter jet seen before. The Block 70 is the newest and most advanced F-16 production configuration, combining numerous capability and structural upgrades.

The Block 70 builds on its thousands of predecessors and proven combat experience, while also bringing new technology to the forefront. With improved radar systems, advanced weapons capabilities and enhanced battlespace awareness, the aircraft advances its strong, combat-proven legacy and goes beyond – to meet needs for tomorrow.

This is the F-16 Block 70, the newest generation of Fighting Falcon.

F-16-Block-70
ENHANCED, INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES
The F-16 Block 70 combines capability upgrades, most notably the advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar with a new avionics architecture, and structural upgrades to extend the structural life of the aircraft by more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft. F-16 Block 70 software takes advantage of technologies not available when earlier Block F-16s were developed and produced. Operational capabilities are enhanced through an advanced datalink, targeting pod and weapons; precision GPS navigation and the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS).



ADVANCED WEAPONS
Lockheed Martin has more than 36 years of weapon integration experience with the F-16. No other organization can match this weapons integration experience. In concert with the U.S. Air Force and multiple F-16 Foreign Military Sales customers, Lockheed Martin has certified more than 3,300 carriage and release configurations for greater that 180 weapon and store types. Our experience as a weapon integrator has enabled the F-16 to be one of the most versatile multirole fighters ever.
F-16-Block-70
ADVANCED AESA RADAR
Northrop Grumman’s advanced APG-83 AESA radar delivers greater situational awareness, flexibility and quicker all-weather targeting. The APG-83 provides pilots with unprecedented target area detail and digital map displays that can be tailored with slew and zoom features. The APG-83 provides F-16s with 5th Generation fighter radar capabilities by leveraging hardware and software commonality with F-22 and F-35 AESA radars.



ENHANCED BATTLESPACE AWARENESS


Another key feature of the F-16 Block 70 configuration is the new Center Pedestal Display (CPD), which provides critical tactical imagery to pilots on a high-resolution 6”x 8” screen. The high-resolution display allows pilots to take full advantage of AESA and targeting pod data. The new CPD enables color moving maps, larger and easier to manage air-to-air Situation Displays, zoom functionality with the ability to switch information among displays, and a digital display of Flight Instrument Data. The CPD is also compatible with the Night Vision Imaging System.
