SINGAPORE: Lockheed Martin announces F-16V development
3 hours ago
Lockheed Martin has announced a new variant of the F-16 fighter, which will include an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, new mission computer and other cockpit improvements.
The F-16V configuration will be available as an upgrade for most F-16s as well as new production jets, said George Standridge, vice-president of business development at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.
The "V" in the aircraft's name stands for "Viper", the nickname given to the type by US Air Force pilots.
During a presentation at the Singapore Airshow, Standridge noted that most legacy F-16s can be upgraded to the F-16V standard, which is roughly equivalent to the F-16 Block 60.
Nearly 4,500 F-16s have been delivered since the 1970s and the aircraft is operated by 26 countries globally.
