Planned F-16 Architecture Evolution
The evolving M-series operational flight program provides the affordable foundation for the F-16V.

The Next Generation F-16 Production and Retrofit Configuration Baseline Today Baseline 2020 Baseline 2025 Baseline 2030
The F-16V upgrade is the next generation technology insertion that leverages a common worldwide sustainment
infrastructure which supports nearly 2,000 aircraft. This new upgrade and production configuration will be the
predominant configuration for the F-16 worldwide fleet. The new avionics configuration is the largest leap in F-16
combat capability and represents the most significant F-16 upgrade to date. For some F-16 users, this configuration
forms the foundation for their avionics systems which will remain in service for years to come.
The Lockheed Martin F-16V configuration provides relevant combat capabilities in a scalable and affordable
package with a high-volume, high-speed data bandwidth. The F-16V configuration is unique to Lockheed Martin,

AESA Radar The APG-83 AESA radar provides long-range search and track capability against airborne targets, regardless of their
aspect. Multi-target track provides good track quality on at least 20 targets within ±60 degrees of the F-16 nose while
continuing to support a designated scan pattern. The air combat mode automatically acquires and tracks the first
Next Generation Fighter target detected within the scan volume selected by the pilot.

requirements. Approximately 95 percent of the APG-83 suite of operating modes have been ported directly from the latest
generation AESA and have demonstrated outstanding capability to detect and engage the spectrum of air, surface and sea
targets, even in the most challenging electronic warfare environments. The APG-83 is three to five times more reliable than
legacy mechanically scanned radars, which means higher availability rates and lower sustainment costs. Increased Operational Capabilities
With Extensive Software Reuse

the LITENING Targeting pod is displayed on CCMFDs or CPD. High-resolution AESA Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
images are also displayed on CCMFDs or CPD.

Center Pedestal Display


• New on-board and off-board sensors drive the need for a bigger and
higher resolution display
• Increased viewing area display is 6 x 8 inches
– Relative 1-ft SAR resolution provides 503,316 ft2
more viewable SAR patch map area
– A-A situation display is larger and easier to sort targets
– A 2 x 6 pinup display can be used below the 6 x 6 format on the CPD

The Improved Programmable Display Generator (IPDG) adds the ability to display high-resolution, color video on the
Center Pedestal Display (CPD). The IPDG shows color video on the Common Color Multifunction Displays (CCMFDs).
The IPDG allows each display to operate alone, independent of any other display. The IPDG includes multiple core
Central Processing Unit (CPU) technologies. The IPDG includes a new 3-dimensional graphics processor module that
is an improvement over legacy video processing. Extensive use of commercial nonproprietary standards, data buses
and software provides a built-in, industry-defined growth path that minimizes the impact of obsolescence and ensures
a low-risk avionics system development program for indigenous upgrades.
The IPDG includes CPU technology that allows vast amounts of data to be processed. This processing capability plans
for substantial growth capacity for future applications and data processing, as the customer’s needs change. Several
cores of the CPU are reserved for future growth, which allows for more than 50 percent growth capability.
High-resolution video transmits on the Ethernet network by using Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) compression.
MPEG is the standard used for compression. MPEG compresses the video format to the IPDG. The IPDG then
decompresses the video using industry-standard video chipsets. The IPDG displays the video on the CPD or the CCMFDs.
The compressed video allows for a lower recurring cost by limiting the amount of new cable installation necessary.
Future growth is easier because subsystems transmit video for display by using the existing Ethernet cables rather than
installing new video cables for each new video source.

Contractor Past Performance Record for Avionics Modernization Programs


The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) annually evaluates Lockheed Martin’s contract performance on large contracts via a
Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR). The CPAR is a management tool. The CPAR documents a contractor’s past
performance evaluations during program execution and is based upon recent, relevant experience. The intention is that the CPAR
is a communication tool between the U.S. Government (USG) and the contractor to improve performance on current contracts.
 
Lockheed Martin’s CPAR rating for performing on MLU/CCIP retrofit contracts on F-16 aircraft for the USG, including Foreign
Military Sales (FMS), has been Very Good or Exceptional. The Exceptional rating indicates that the contractor has exceeded
many requirements, that there have been a few minor contract problems and that the contractor’s corrective actions have
been highly effective.

Production Continues – 4,535 Aircraft Delivered in 26 Countries


Modernization Programs Under Way
• USAF plus six international programs
• Seven additional in development
New Sustainment Programs in Development
• Structural certification to 10,000/12,000 flight hours
• New/refurbished F-16 wings
As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed Martin is uniquely qualified as the design authority for the F-16.
Lockheed Martin has decades of unique development and integration experience which can be applied to lower the risk
and cost to any F-16 development, production or upgrade program.

Furthermore as the F-16 OEM, Lockheed Martin has the essential engineering data as the design authority for providing
evidence of structural air worthiness and validation of the entire F-16 weapon system. United States Belgium Denmark Netherlands Norway Israel Egypt Korea Pakistan Venezuela Turkey Greece Singapore

Lockheed Martin has available a robust array of facilities that includes system and subsystem test facilities and development
laboratories along with optimized process and procedures.
Thailand Indonesia Bahrain Portugal Taiwan Italy UAE Chile Oman Poland Jordan Morocco Iraq Romania
Lockheed Martin has a proven record and a proven working relationship with all required F-16 suppliers which
can be applied to the timely implementation of any production, upgrade or sustainment program.

The F-16V represents the latest evolution of the F-16 roadmap. With the common Lockheed Martin roadmap, F-16 users will
continue to benefit in the future from shared development, interoperability and a large common support infrastructure.
