في تصوري ان الاردن الحبيب ليس بحاجه لسلاح جوي مكلف .. فأغلب الدول العربيه مع الاردن قلبا وقالبا .. حاجة الاردن لدعم اقتصادي وتطوير اكبر للأمن الداخلي هو الاهم .. بالتوفيق للنشاما

الملك عبدالله الثاني رجل يعرف العسكرية جيدا ويمارسها بنفسه؛ لذلك أعتقد أنه يعرف جيداً ما يفعله وأثق في رؤيته التسليحية .

الأمر بالنسبة لي هو أشبه بإعادة هيكلة للجيش مع ترشيد النفقات وضخها في التحديث بما لا يخل بالإمكانيات والقدرة المطلوبة للحفاظ علي قوة الجيش الأردني .

مثالان للتوضيح :

=======

طائرات النقل الـ Casa C-295 ( اثنتان خضعا أو خاضعان- هناك تقارير تفيد بالتعاقد علي أربع طائرات وتم تسليم الأخيرة في 2015- للتعديل للإستخدام التعبوي والدعم الجوي القريب Gunship، واثنتان للنقل التكتيكي وهما محور حديثنا اليوم )

طائرات النقل الـ Casa C-235 ( تم تحويل اثتنان منهم إلي AC-235 Gunship بعد رفض الولايات المتحدة إمداد الأردن بالـ AC-130 gunship، واثنتان للنقل الخفيف وهما أيضا محور حديثنا )

يبدو أن الجيش الأردني قد قرر الإكتفاء حاليا بالــ

MF للنقل الثقيل والإستخدام المتعدد بعدد اثنتان؛ مع إمكانية زيادة العدد في المستقبل أو الإتجاه للطرازات الجديدة من عائلة الــ C-130 ( يخرج منها الطراز القديم أيضا وهو C130-B )

=======

طائرات الــ HAWK 63 .. هل لم يعد لها حاجة في ظل وجود 9 طائرات Pilatus PC-9 M و 8 من الطراز PC-21s وزيادة أعدادها في المنظور القريب؟ .. وهل يوجد تفكير في Yakovlev Yak-130 مستقبلاً ؟

=======

لذلك مجرد التفكير والنقاش في تلك المبيعات علي أنها ستنقذ الإقتصاد الأردني لا يعدو كونه نظرة قاصرة للأمر؛ لأن إنقاذ الإقتصاد يكون بخطة محكمة ثابتة ودائمة علي المدي القصير والمتوسط وليس في بيع بضع طائرات هنا وهناك !! .. دمتم بخير

[Road Runner]

الصفقة الجديدة ستشمل أمورا جديده غير التي اتفق عليها سابقا ، 100% الباتريوت ان لم يكن موجود ، و البريداتور ، و ذخائر للأف-16 ???

أخي كله من اجل التحديث ، خصوصا سلاح الجو حريص كل الحرص على التحديث المستمر

الان مثلا الكوبرا ، إن لم تكن بيعت سيتم تحديث سرب اخر منها لتصبح مثل الفايبر ، الان السوبر كوبرا أظن ستدخل بكل تأكيد ، الان إن بقيت بواقي الكوبرا و طور سرب اخر ، أظن سيكون اعداد السوبر كوبرا قليلة ، و إن خرجت بواقي الكوبرا و بيعت أظن ستكون الأعداد كبيرة لتحل مكانها ، في هذه الحالة ال 16 مروحية كوبرا اللي جائت من امريكا من المخزون الاسرائيلي و طورت في امريكا ، ستظل في الخدمة حتى تدخل السوبر كوبرا بكامل اعدادها
البلاك هوك L بعدد 8 مروحيات عرضت لليبع لانه تسلمنا من امريكا العام الماضي 12 مروحية من احدث الطرازات M
الكاسا 101 و الهوك 63 التين للتدريب المتقدم ، تم بيع الكاسا و الهوك معروضة للبيع لانه حلت مكانهم البيلاتوس 21 السويسرية المتطورة
الفير فلاي بيعت لانه حلت مكانها الجروب الالمانية المتطورة
الهيوز MD-500 و EC-350 مروحيات تدريب تأسيسي و متقدم بيعت لأنه تم إدخال طائرات الروبنسون للتدريب التأسيسي و المتقدم مكانهما
كذلك الهيوي تم اخراجها لانه حلت مكانها البلاك هوك ، و كانت تستخدم للتدريب المتقدم و حلت مكانها الروبنسون ايضا
الان بخصوص الهيركوليز B و E لا داعي ابدا لتبرير خروجهن من الخدمة و طرحهن للبيع بسبب انهم أصبحوا قدااااام جدا جدا جدا و أصلا تاخر اخراجهن

الان نأتي إلى موضوع الخلاف وهي طائرات الكاسا CN-295 و العضو @Road Runner يتحجج بأنها سبب أنه التقشف و مدري ويش ، هذه الطائرات تم شراء 4 طائرات من هذا الطراز ، طائرتين للنقل و طائرتين أرسلتا الى شركة ATK من اجل تسليحهن مثل اختها AC-235 ، و طائرتين أخريين يعملون في سرب النقل تمام التمام 100%
الان لما بدأت عاصفة الحزم ، شارك الأردن ب 6 مقاتلات أف-16 و طائرتي الكاسا AC-235 المسلحة الى هناك لاختبارها ، و بعد إختبارها و دراسة جدواها ، تم الاستنتاج انهن ليسوا ذات فعالية و كفاءة عالية ولهذا تقرر بيعهن كما ذكرنا سابقا ، فمنطقيا أنه يقوم سلاح الجو بطرح بيع اختاهما CN-295 للبيع لانهما أصبحوا مسلحات خصوصا و انه تسليحهن بدأ منذ 2014 او 2015 ! أما طائرتي النقل المتبقيتين تم الإبقاء عليهما بشكل طبيعي جدا و يعملون بسرب النقل عادي

و بخصوص مروحيات الهجوم الخفيفة MD-530FF فأشار الباشا بنفسه الى بيعهن و انه كل هذا البيع هو ضمن الهيكلة فقط ، الان بيع الليتيل بيرد هو من اجل ادخال الافضل منها ! هل تناسيتم توقيع سلاح الجو مع بوينغ في العام 2013 مذكرة نوايا من اجل شراء 18 مروحية AH-6i شديدة التطور ، و هي نفسها التي اقتنتها المملكة العربية السعودية للحرس الوطني قبل سنوات و بدا التسليم قبل عامين أو عام ..

أما الدرون الصيني ، الاردن غير راضي عن اداءه و ذكر ذلك اللواء الطيار أدهم آسندر "شركسي" في مؤتمر معرض أيديكس 2019 .. و كلامه واضح غير محتاج تفسير ! و سيحل مكانه البريداتور ، كما قال قائد سلاح الجو الملكي في مقابلته انه الاردن بدأ في برنامج درونات مع امريكا لكن بدون ان يفصل ، إضافة الى تعاقد الاردن على الاوريون الروسي في معرض ارمي-2018

و أخيرا ، حسب مقابلة الباشا سيتم إخراج مروحيات السوبر بيوما AS-332 و مروحيات اليوروكوبتر EC-635 قريبا لانه عمرهم التشغيلي إنتهى تقريبا ، و الأغلب والله أعلم أنه سنرى صفقة بلاك هوك جديدة بإذن الله

أتحدى العضوين @Road Runner و @Hercules يفندوا كلامي و ينفوه بالدليل القاطع ، و هي مقابلة قائد سلاح الجو الملكي هنا لتكون هي دليل كلامي و كل كلامي فوق هو من كلام الباشا

المشكلة أن برامج تحديث منتصف العمر MLU لمقاتلات F-16 لا تضيف إلى الخدمة سوى عشرة سنوات فقط!

هذا يعني أن الأردن سيحتاج إلى شراء مقاتلات مستعملة كل 7 سنوات تقريباً.

* خاصة أن مقاتلات F-16 الأردنية والتي معظمها كانت تخدم سابقاً لدى سلاح الجو الملكي الهولندي RNAF كانت نشطة للغاية في عمليات عسكرية مثل عملية القوة المتحالفة Operation Allied Force ضد يوغسلافيا وأيضاً دوريات جوية قتالية CAP بشكل مكثف ما يعني أنها تملك ساعات طيران مرتفعة جداً.

اما الان ما هي القدرات التي يعطيها التطوير mlu للطائرات الاف 16

History / The beginning Reason for the Mid Life Update When the F-16 entered service in 1979, it was expected that the aircraft would be replaced by a successor in 1999. Due to several reasons, both economical and political, the F-16 will not be replaced by a successor (which is not yet available right now) and will not be phased-out until 2010. In order to maintain the same level of operational capabilities and operational effectiveness of existing aircraft over the next ten to twenty years in this world of ever increasing technology, an extensive modernization program was developed, that later became known as the Mid-Life Update or ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل . ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل The first ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل F-16B MLU, wearing the Check Six markings on its tail, on touchdown. (LMTAS photo) The project started in 1989 with a two year study of the possibilities to upgrade the F-16. In May 1991, the development phase started, which continued until 1997. Aircraft structural integrity program The F-16s airframe has been subject to more heavy loads than was predicted in 1979. This resulted in several unpredicted hair cracks in some of the airframe's bulkheads. Before an aircraft can be offered for MLU modification, the current state of the airframe is examined in the extensive Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (PACER SLIP). In this modification program, all bulkheads of the aircraft will be examined and repaired (using the so called Cold Working method) if necessary. After PACER SLIP, the aircraft will be able to last at least another 5,000 flying hours and can complete its life expectancy of 30 years. Note that hair cracks are not uncommon in aircraft design. To predict the acceptable number and type of cracks, the aircraft manufacturer used information that reflected the exact capabilities of the aircraft. The F-16 was designed as a light and highly maneuverable aircraft that could withstand 9G and last for a minimum of 8,000 flight hours. All data is recorded in a load spectrum that specifies the use of the aircraft (i.e. type of missions), aircraft load and predicted number of landings. Participating countries At first five countries participated in the Mid Life Update; the four EPAF (European Participating Forces) countries: ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل and ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , as well as the United States. Each of the countries has one Lead The Fleet (LTF) F-16 at the Lockheed-Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas, as a trial aircraft for the modification. At the start of the program, it was projected that the USAF would also convert about 223 A/B-models under the MLU program. With the ending of the Cold War however, this part of the program was finished and the US backed-out after the development program. In 2001, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل announced that it too was considering upgrading its acquired with MLU. The Portuguese program started at the end of 2002, with the first aircraft (LTF) being delivered in early 2003. First 16 A-models and 4 B-models of the Peace Atlantis II program will be upgraded. Followed later on by the other 20 F-16s. In 2005, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل was the following country to decide to upgrade their F-16s with the MLU package. Although their jets already had some upgrades since they were of the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل version, Jordan decided this wasn't sufficient to maintain in the long run. In a first phase all Peace Falcon II airframes (which hadn't flown awaiting the MLU upgrade) were to be upgraded with all Peace Falcon I airframes to be added later. The first jet was delvered back to the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل in 2007.

It decided to upgrade 35 of its older ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل airframes with an option for another 10.

Each aircraft will take up to 2,500 man hours, which is roughly equal to 5 months.Initial work All five Test, Verification and Installation (TVI) aircraft are stripped to the airframe and re-assembled in a later stadium in order to perform all kinds of work, including the replacement of hundreds of wiring harnesses (the cockpit alone incorporates one hundred new wiring harnesses). When the aircraft will be completely re-assembled, they will be transported to Edwards Air Force Base in order to perform flight tests. After these flights, the Dutch and ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل aircraft will moved to Leeuwarden Air Base for further flight tests. One of the tests include testing of the new fire control radar system under European weather conditions. In a later stadium, the Belgian TVI aircraft follows. At that time, the software tests will commence. Is it worth all the effort and the money? Because of the F-16s unpredicted heavier airframe load in the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the aircraft's airframe needs to be overhauled apart from the Mid Life Update to allow the airframe to complete 3,500 flight hours. Keeping the aircraft operational until its 5,000th flight hour make the costs involved in the airframe repair / overhaul affordable and acceptable, making expensive airframe "re-inspections" unnecessary. The costs of the airframe repair / overhaul only form a quarter of the costs involved in the Mid Life Update. The costs involved in the ASIP maintenance program result in increased operational capabilities as well as an increased life expectancy for the F-16 aircraft. These costs are lower than the price of a new aircraft. After the F-16s Mid Life Update modernization program, the F-16 can compete again with the most advanced fighters of today's world. An increase of both technical and economical life expectancy justify the cost for the Mid Life Update program. The air inlet structure of the Block 10 aircraft will be modified, due to the fact that the current inlet of Block 10 aircraft does not allow for the implementation of hard points to carry equipment such as the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) pod. Structure & Avionics / Avionics upgrade Most of the avionics that will be installed during MLU is existing hardware that is modified for use in the F-16. The Modular Mission Computer however is designed especially for the F-16. This will undoubtedly be one of the most important computers of the F-16 once MLU is completed. Modular Mission Computer The most important item of the Mid Life Update package is the Texas Instruments Modular Mission Computer (MMC) which is the key to providing new capabilities such as sensors and weapons, improved pilot-vehicle interface and pilot aiding. Subcontractors are Terma, Nea Lindberg and Signaal. This computer consists of line-replaceable modules (LRMs) based upon several MIPSCO R3000 32-bit RISC microprocessors which will run the ADA high-order language. An object-oriented design will reduce the lead times for new software and will improve the software maintenance. Other features include multiplex bus modules, avionics display processor, display driver and power supplies. The MMC will be the key to driving towards fleetwide commonality of system modes and software. It will replace three components, namely the computers currently in use for the Expanded Fire Control Computer (XFCC), the Head Up Display Electronics Unit (HUD EU or HUD symbol generator), and the Stores Management System's Expanded Central Interface Unit (XCIU). The MMC will take up 42% less volume in the aircraft, weights 55% less and consumes 37% less electrical power. Of the 24 slots available in the computer, ten will be used for future growth. Fire Control Radar The Westinghouse AN/APG-66(V2) Fire Control Radar (FCR) will be equipped with an completely new signal data processor. It allows a track-while-scan mode for up to ten targets as well as a six-on-six ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل capability. Other features include a 25% improvement in detection and tracking range, an enhanced Doppler Beam Sharpening mode (DBS), enhanced air-ground and ground mapping modes, a medium resolutions DNS, an enhanced ECCM, and a color display compatibility. The MLU kit and the receiver will also have an 40% improved reliability over previous versions. Physical parameters : Volume : 3.43 cu. ft. Weight : 261.5 lb Power : 3285 V/A AC (Max), 155 Watts DC (Nominal) Cooling : 11.3 lb/min a 27degr. C Advanced IFF The Hazeltine APX-113 Advanced Identification Friend-or-Foe system (AIFF) with increased range performance (100 Nm) will operate via four (rather striking) antennas mounted on the upper forward fuselage in front of the canopy. These "bird slicers", more formally known as Upper Interogator Fuselage Mounted Antenna (FMA) Array, will be the most noticeable exterior change of the Mid Life Update. The benefits of this AIFF system will be the support for BVR weapons delivery in excess of Radar/Missile limits and the enhanced situational awareness which reduces the chance of a fratricide. Cockpit displays and indicators Wide Angle Conventional Head Up display The new Wide Angle Conventional Head Up Display (WAC HUD) manufactured by GEC Marconi Avionics will increase readability and pilot comfort, offers a wider field of view than the current HUD and adds a raster capability and support for night operations. This HUD is also FLIR and EEGS compatible. Multi-Function Display The Multi-Function Display (MFD) set, manufactured by Honeywell, include two 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) color active matrix liquid crystal multi-function displays, which will replace the current single monochrome Radar Electro/Optical Indicator Unit (REO-IU) and the Stores Control Panel (SCP) - the Stores Management System display. Both displays will increase the pilot's Situational Awareness drastically and will therefore contribute to increased flight safety. Enhanced Upgraded Programmable Display Generator An Enhanced Upgraded Programmable Display Generator (EUPDG), manufactured by Honeywell and Nea Lindberg in Denmark, will support the two color MFD's, allowing the pilot to set up to twelve display programs. One of them includes a color Horizontal Situation Display, which will be, provide the pilot with a God's eye view of the tactical situation. Inside is a 20MHz, 32-bit Intel 80960 Display Processor and a 256K battery-backed RAM system memory. The color graphics controller is based on the T.I. TMS34020 Raster Graphics Chipset. Audio/Video Recorder Also new is the Cockpit Television System manufactured by Telemetrics. The current Airborne Video Tape Recorder (AVTR) will be replaced by a TEAC color audio visual tape recorder. Head Up Display images as well as the images of the Multi Function Displays will be selectable for recording which is great for the debriefing of missions. ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل The same Danish MLU, now in flight. (LMTAS photo) Helmet Mounted Display A helmet-mounted display (HMD) is not part of the present configuration, but program director Philip Schwab believes that the European operators may decide to incorporate it if the program continues to progress well. Lockheed Martin and Honeywell have demonstrated the use of the HMD, combined with DTS, to allow the pilot to designate targets of opportunity simply by placing an HMD pipper on the target. EPAF and USAF are to pursue a five-nation HMD program, related to the introduction of the ASRAAM, the Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile, somewhere in the next century. Software and hardware modifications are already being studied by a cockpit review team and both space and wiring is already being accounted for in the current MLU. On Eglin AFB, Honeywell and GEC Marconi experiment with a Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), combined with Raytheon's Box-Office agile missile. Honeywell and GEC-Marconi will start with the development and promotion of a Look-And-Shoot Helmet Mounted Cueing System for the F-16. This year, flight tests will take place in one of Lockheed-Martin's F-16B duals. Side stick controller and throttle grip The side stick controller (manufactured by Lear Astronics Corporation) and throttle grip are ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل unit models and will replace the current Block-10/15 stick grips. Both throttle and stick will be equipped with various controls, for an increased variety of functions, including VHF and UHF communications, IFF interrogation, Improved Data Modem operation, secondary flight controls (speed brakes), night vision cockpit blackout selection (NVIS Switch) and boresighting as well as slaving of missiles (now only selectable via the cues of the Stores Control Panel, which requires hands-off-throttle, head-down operation). Modifications & Upgrades / Other features Improved Data Modem The Improved Data Modem (IDM), developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and built by Symetrics Inc., will be used to exchange data of various systems and targets with other aircraft (e.g. F-16, A-10, AH-64 or E-8 JSTARS) or with a ground station. Provisions have been made for the Link 16 Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS). Electronic Warfare Management System An Electronic Warfare Management System (EWMS) developed by Terma Elektronik AS in Denmark provides centralized EW control for entire EW suite : management of threats (RWR), ANQ pods and advanced chaff/flare systems. ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل Belgian Air Force ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل MLU. The block 20 can be distinguished by the birdslicers. These are part of the indiginous IFF system. (Luis Rosa photo) Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver MAGR, Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver built by Rockwell-Collins Avionics & Communications Division, operating via an E-Systems antenna. It provides accurate position, velocity and time to support navigation, steering and weapon delivery. This system is smaller and lighter than the Block 40/50 receiver (RCVR 3A), consumes less power but delivers the same performance. Digital Terrain System A Digital Terrain System (DTS), which uses the British Aerospace Systems & Equipments (BASE) Terprom system hosted on a Fairchild Defense memory module (128kb). The DTS provides precise navigation (in conjunction with the Rockwell/E-Systems GPS) and performs a number of safety and situational-awareness functions in low-level flight. This does not imply however, that the F-16 will be capable of automatic terrain following. The (former Block-10/-15) F-16 aircraft does not have a digital flight control system, so the system cannot be linked directly to the aircraft's Flight Control System. The pilot will be following the DTS advice manually by flying on the Flight Path Marker in the HUD. The system is as accurate as the accuracy of the maps being used, so this requires extremely accurate maps of the area. Cockpit Layout The cockpit layout will be the one of the F-16C Block-40/50. However, unlike the Block-40/50 aircraft, the MLU F-16s will be equipped with color displays. The cockpit lighing will be compatible with Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) and all visible surfaces will be painted black. The Night Vision goggles are deactivated in the HUD field-of-view to allow inhibited HUD viewing. Provisions for recce pods Up to now, if the F-16 were to carry reconnaissance pods, it had to be specially equipped for that purpose. A number of Dutch F-16s has been equipped to carry the Oudedelft pod. The MLU will see a standard recce interface installed for a number of reconnaissance pods. Provisions for the Microwave Landing System This system will be incorporated in the F-16 structure. The system will not be standard equipment on the F-16 and the particular countries have to by it seperately. Although not standard, the system will enhance flight safety by adding an MLS, which can guide the pilot through adverse weather conditions. Recent developments First flights of TVI aircraft The first of five TVI aircraft for the MLU has made its first flight from Fort Worth on April 28, 1995. This USAF F-16C, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل /ED, a Block 15 model, is destined for the 20 Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB. The second TVI aircraft made its first flight on May 11, 1995. This is a two-seat F-16B aircraft ( ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل ) of the Royal Danish Air Force. The first two of five TVI aircraft were transported to Edwards AFB on June 9th, 1995. Start of initial development test & evaluation In June 1995, the first flights took place in the MLU's DT&E phase on Edwards Air Force base, under the leadership of main contractor Lockheed-Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems and the United States Air Force. Each of the four EPAF countries supplied its own test pilot. Following the DT&E phase Both aircraft will be equipped with special measurement systems and will be used in the Development Test & Evaluation test program at Edwards AFB, which will last until October 1997. The three other TVI aircraft will be used in the DT&E phase until mid-1996. Further tests will then take place at Leeuwarden Air Base, The Netherlands, which will denote the start of the Operational Test & Evaluation phase of MLU. At Leeuwarden, four more MLU aircraft will join the program, the so called Lead The Fleet (LTF) aircraft, the first F-16s that will be modified for each of the four EPAF countries. DT&E software tapes 1 thru 4 The DT&E aircraft now use the MLU Tape-1 software. This version will be replaced in June 1996 by the more extensive Tape-2 at the beginning of the OT&E phase. Tape-4 denote the final version which will be used in the Mid Life Update of other aircraft to be modified. M1 tape Development of the M1-tape went through four phases of Flight Test Tapes (FTT). In each of these test tapes, other performances where met, including: FTT-1 tape Radar performance evaluation FTT-2 tape Weapon modes Air-Air and Air-Ground testing Navigation (INS and GPS) Basic MMC core functions integration FTT-3 tape Datalink IFF interrogation Horizontal Situation Display DTS integration Cockpit color screen implementation FTT-4 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) After the M1 tape, the M2 tape followed in 2000, M3 tape in 2003, M4 tape in 2005, M5 tape in 2008 and M6 tape in 2011. All these tapes incorporate other features, including: M2 tape Automatic Target Hand-off System (ATHS) Integration of anti radiation (AGM-88) missile capability Integration of target designator system Further implementation of the Digital Terrain System M3 tape Integration of the Link-16 system Integration of capability for GPS controlled weapons (GBU30/32) Introduction of Helmet Mounted/Cueing Sight Introduction of NVG compatible helmets M4 tape From this tape onwards the first release was already a subrelease starting at MX.1 M4.1 tape Introduction of advanced short-range missile, as a replacement for the current ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل (AIM-9X, IRIS-T) Integration of advanced Link-16 functions Integration of SNIPER targeting pods M4.2 tape Integration of the latest HARM Targeting System (HTS) and its R7 software Integration of SNIPER targeting pod and its S3 software (capable of cataloguing, storing and relaying target images using the Link 16 data-link. M4.2 gives the capability to use the HTS and Sniper ATP on the same aircraft) This tape was the first common software for USAF CCIP upgraded block 40/50 airframes. M4.3 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) M5 tape M5.1 tape Integration of capability for stand-off weapons (AGM-154) Introduction of more advanced A/G weapons (EGBU-12) Introduction of advanced Stores Management System and Joint Mission Planning System Introduction of an improved GPS/INS system (more accurate and jamming proof) Introduction of new Link-16 message standards to improve interoperability between different aircraft types Installation of AN/ARC-210 VHF radios to enable radio contact with FAC’s on the ground M5.2 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) M6 tape M6.1 tape Improved IFF system (Mode 5 waveform with better distinction between friendly and enemy aircraft) Introduction of AIM-120D missile (two-way datalink, improved navigation and High-Angle Off-Boresight capabilities, a doubled range) Introduction of more advanced A/G weapons (GBU-39 SDB, GBU-54 LJDAM) Integration of improved Link-16 functions with net-centric capability Integration of a new Universal Armament Interface to standardize communication between the aircraft and the weapons, illuminating the need for new OPF tapes with every new weapon system M6.2 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) Included minor updates like Auto ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل capability nearly eliminating Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, a leading cause of F-16 loss of pilot and aircraft accidents. M6.5 tape From this tape onwards there will be a difference between the European numbering sequence and the US. Funding for the M-tapes was extended through the years up untill number M6. The normal succession would mean an M7 would be next. This will be the case for the US (with their F-16s lasting untill well into the 2030s). Since the European F-16s are much older and reaching the end of their lifespan (2020-2030) it was difficult to convince them to extend funding for more updates to the F-16s. Specifically the Netherlands and Norway weren't eager since they already opted to replace the F-16 with the F-35 with fleet introduction starting in 2019 and F-16 phase out around 2024). Much of the updates found in tape M6.5 will be the same as tape M7. Rectification of some earlier weapon integration shortcomings Integration of new weapons (JASSM, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , EGBU-12, SDB, AIM-120D and AIM-9X) Integration of advanced racks (BRU-69), pylons, adapters and the UAI (ensuring nuclear surety and compatibility) Update of the Link-16 protocol Upgrade of the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل interface software Update of the AN/ALR-56M system Update of the GPS system M7 tape Will have the same set of updates as the European M6.5 tape. Most probably numbering will continue in the M7 and later tapes with the European air forces sticking in the M6.X numbering untill F-16 phase out is achieved in the 2020s. Specifications Engine: One Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 turbofan, rated at 14,590 lb.s.t. dry and 23,770 lb.s.t. with afterburning. Maximum speed: Mach 2.05 at 40,000 feet.

نعم كلامي واضح, ما يقوم به سلاح الجو الملكي الأردني RJAF هو بسبب التقشف والأزمة الإقتصادية الخانقة التي يعيشها الأردن.

* نحن نتحدث عن طرح مقاتلات وطائرات عسكرية في المزاد! أي أن الأردن طرح هذه الطائرات للبيع بدون حتى وجود زبائن محتملين.

بيع المعدات امر طبيعي تقوم به جميع الدول جميع المؤسسات الحكومية والخاصة في اي دولة وليس للامر علاقة بازمات اقتصادية ..اابيع بالمزاد والاعلان هو اجراء روتيني في المؤسسات الحكومية لضمان الحصول على افضل سعر وليس شيء جديد وسبق باعت الاردن طائرات ف٥ وف١٦ سابقا ...للعلم فقط لاثبات ان كلامك كله هراء الاردن فعليا حصل على طائرات تدريب حديثة بيلاتوس وعلى مروحيات مي٢٦ من روسيا وعلى دفاعات جوية من المانيا وتطوير للكوبرا ويحاول الحصول على مزيد من الف١٦ من اوروبا ..لو كان هناك ازمة خانقة لا اعتقد انه سيشنري طائرات جديدة ...

المشكلة أن برامج تحديث منتصف العمر MLU لمقاتلات F-16 لا تضيف إلى الخدمة سوى عشرة سنوات فقط!

هذا يعني أن الأردن سيحتاج إلى شراء مقاتلات مستعملة كل 7 سنوات تقريباً.

* خاصة أن مقاتلات F-16 الأردنية والتي معظمها كانت تخدم سابقاً لدى سلاح الجو الملكي الهولندي RNAF كانت نشطة للغاية في عمليات عسكرية مثل عملية القوة المتحالفة Operation Allied Force ضد يوغسلافيا وأيضاً دوريات جوية قتالية CAP بشكل مكثف ما يعني أنها تملك ساعات طيران مرتفعة جداً.

عمر الطائرات يحدد بعدد ساعات الطيران وليس بالسنوات و برنامج mlu ليس لاطالة فترة الخدمة فقط بل تطوير شامل من افيونكس وبدن وتسليح الخ .....الطائرات الاردنية تم عمل تحديث لها حتى الطائرات المشتراه من اوروبا

بالضبط اخي ، الان الاردن جرب طائرات AC-235 GunShip في اليمن و لم يقتنع باداءها و تبين انها ليست ذات جدوى كما كان يتوقع لها ! فتم طرحها للبيع ، بالاضافة الى الطائرتين من طراز CN-295 اللتين تم ارسالهما لتسيحهما ، و اظن انهما المقصودتين بالبيع ، اما الطائرتين الخاصتين بالنقل فتعملان بشكل طبيعي و اراهما كثيرا ..
و حتى لن استغرب ان تم بيعهما ايضا ، لانه يا اخي 4 مروحيات MI-26T2 بحمولة 20 طن بتكفي و بتوفي و زيادة ! فلا داعي حتى الطائرتي النقل الباقيتين و اتمنى بيعهما !

اما الان ما هي القدرات التي يعطيها التطوير mlu للطائرات الاف 16

History / The beginning Reason for the Mid Life Update When the F-16 entered service in 1979, it was expected that the aircraft would be replaced by a successor in 1999. Due to several reasons, both economical and political, the F-16 will not be replaced by a successor (which is not yet available right now) and will not be phased-out until 2010. In order to maintain the same level of operational capabilities and operational effectiveness of existing aircraft over the next ten to twenty years in this world of ever increasing technology, an extensive modernization program was developed, that later became known as the Mid-Life Update or ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل . ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل The first ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل F-16B MLU, wearing the Check Six markings on its tail, on touchdown. (LMTAS photo) The project started in 1989 with a two year study of the possibilities to upgrade the F-16. In May 1991, the development phase started, which continued until 1997. Aircraft structural integrity program The F-16s airframe has been subject to more heavy loads than was predicted in 1979. This resulted in several unpredicted hair cracks in some of the airframe's bulkheads. Before an aircraft can be offered for MLU modification, the current state of the airframe is examined in the extensive Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (PACER SLIP). In this modification program, all bulkheads of the aircraft will be examined and repaired (using the so called Cold Working method) if necessary. After PACER SLIP, the aircraft will be able to last at least another 5,000 flying hours and can complete its life expectancy of 30 years. Note that hair cracks are not uncommon in aircraft design. To predict the acceptable number and type of cracks, the aircraft manufacturer used information that reflected the exact capabilities of the aircraft. The F-16 was designed as a light and highly maneuverable aircraft that could withstand 9G and last for a minimum of 8,000 flight hours. All data is recorded in a load spectrum that specifies the use of the aircraft (i.e. type of missions), aircraft load and predicted number of landings. Participating countries At first five countries participated in the Mid Life Update; the four EPAF (European Participating Forces) countries: ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل and ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , as well as the United States. Each of the countries has one Lead The Fleet (LTF) F-16 at the Lockheed-Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas, as a trial aircraft for the modification. At the start of the program, it was projected that the USAF would also convert about 223 A/B-models under the MLU program. With the ending of the Cold War however, this part of the program was finished and the US backed-out after the development program. In 2001, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل announced that it too was considering upgrading its acquired with MLU. The Portuguese program started at the end of 2002, with the first aircraft (LTF) being delivered in early 2003. First 16 A-models and 4 B-models of the Peace Atlantis II program will be upgraded. Followed later on by the other 20 F-16s. In 2005, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل was the following country to decide to upgrade their F-16s with the MLU package. Although their jets already had some upgrades since they were of the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل version, Jordan decided this wasn't sufficient to maintain in the long run. In a first phase all Peace Falcon II airframes (which hadn't flown awaiting the MLU upgrade) were to be upgraded with all Peace Falcon I airframes to be added later. The first jet was delvered back to the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل in 2007.

It decided to upgrade 35 of its older ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل airframes with an option for another 10. The first airframe to be converted was test flown in November of 2011 with initial work being performed by Lockheed, while the remainder of the fleet is to be upgraded by TAI in Ankara, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل .

Each aircraft will take up to 2,500 man hours, which is roughly equal to 5 months.Initial work All five Test, Verification and Installation (TVI) aircraft are stripped to the airframe and re-assembled in a later stadium in order to perform all kinds of work, including the replacement of hundreds of wiring harnesses (the cockpit alone incorporates one hundred new wiring harnesses). When the aircraft will be completely re-assembled, they will be transported to Edwards Air Force Base in order to perform flight tests. After these flights, the Dutch and ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل aircraft will moved to Leeuwarden Air Base for further flight tests. One of the tests include testing of the new fire control radar system under European weather conditions. In a later stadium, the Belgian TVI aircraft follows. At that time, the software tests will commence. Is it worth all the effort and the money? Because of the F-16s unpredicted heavier airframe load in the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the aircraft's airframe needs to be overhauled apart from the Mid Life Update to allow the airframe to complete 3,500 flight hours. Keeping the aircraft operational until its 5,000th flight hour make the costs involved in the airframe repair / overhaul affordable and acceptable, making expensive airframe "re-inspections" unnecessary. The costs of the airframe repair / overhaul only form a quarter of the costs involved in the Mid Life Update. The costs involved in the ASIP maintenance program result in increased operational capabilities as well as an increased life expectancy for the F-16 aircraft. These costs are lower than the price of a new aircraft. After the F-16s Mid Life Update modernization program, the F-16 can compete again with the most advanced fighters of today's world. An increase of both technical and economical life expectancy justify the cost for the Mid Life Update program. The air inlet structure of the Block 10 aircraft will be modified, due to the fact that the current inlet of Block 10 aircraft does not allow for the implementation of hard points to carry equipment such as the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) pod. Structure & Avionics / Avionics upgrade Most of the avionics that will be installed during MLU is existing hardware that is modified for use in the F-16. The Modular Mission Computer however is designed especially for the F-16. This will undoubtedly be one of the most important computers of the F-16 once MLU is completed. Modular Mission Computer The most important item of the Mid Life Update package is the Texas Instruments Modular Mission Computer (MMC) which is the key to providing new capabilities such as sensors and weapons, improved pilot-vehicle interface and pilot aiding. Subcontractors are Terma, Nea Lindberg and Signaal. This computer consists of line-replaceable modules (LRMs) based upon several MIPSCO R3000 32-bit RISC microprocessors which will run the ADA high-order language. An object-oriented design will reduce the lead times for new software and will improve the software maintenance. Other features include multiplex bus modules, avionics display processor, display driver and power supplies. The MMC will be the key to driving towards fleetwide commonality of system modes and software. It will replace three components, namely the computers currently in use for the Expanded Fire Control Computer (XFCC), the Head Up Display Electronics Unit (HUD EU or HUD symbol generator), and the Stores Management System's Expanded Central Interface Unit (XCIU). The MMC will take up 42% less volume in the aircraft, weights 55% less and consumes 37% less electrical power. Of the 24 slots available in the computer, ten will be used for future growth. Fire Control Radar The Westinghouse AN/APG-66(V2) Fire Control Radar (FCR) will be equipped with an completely new signal data processor. It allows a track-while-scan mode for up to ten targets as well as a six-on-six ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل capability. Other features include a 25% improvement in detection and tracking range, an enhanced Doppler Beam Sharpening mode (DBS), enhanced air-ground and ground mapping modes, a medium resolutions DNS, an enhanced ECCM, and a color display compatibility. The MLU kit and the receiver will also have an 40% improved reliability over previous versions. Physical parameters : Volume : 3.43 cu. ft. Weight : 261.5 lb Power : 3285 V/A AC (Max), 155 Watts DC (Nominal) Cooling : 11.3 lb/min a 27degr. C Advanced IFF The Hazeltine APX-113 Advanced Identification Friend-or-Foe system (AIFF) with increased range performance (100 Nm) will operate via four (rather striking) antennas mounted on the upper forward fuselage in front of the canopy. These "bird slicers", more formally known as Upper Interogator Fuselage Mounted Antenna (FMA) Array, will be the most noticeable exterior change of the Mid Life Update. The benefits of this AIFF system will be the support for BVR weapons delivery in excess of Radar/Missile limits and the enhanced situational awareness which reduces the chance of a fratricide. Cockpit displays and indicators Wide Angle Conventional Head Up display The new Wide Angle Conventional Head Up Display (WAC HUD) manufactured by GEC Marconi Avionics will increase readability and pilot comfort, offers a wider field of view than the current HUD and adds a raster capability and support for night operations. This HUD is also FLIR and EEGS compatible. Multi-Function Display The Multi-Function Display (MFD) set, manufactured by Honeywell, include two 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) color active matrix liquid crystal multi-function displays, which will replace the current single monochrome Radar Electro/Optical Indicator Unit (REO-IU) and the Stores Control Panel (SCP) - the Stores Management System display. Both displays will increase the pilot's Situational Awareness drastically and will therefore contribute to increased flight safety. Enhanced Upgraded Programmable Display Generator An Enhanced Upgraded Programmable Display Generator (EUPDG), manufactured by Honeywell and Nea Lindberg in Denmark, will support the two color MFD's, allowing the pilot to set up to twelve display programs. One of them includes a color Horizontal Situation Display, which will be, provide the pilot with a God's eye view of the tactical situation. Inside is a 20MHz, 32-bit Intel 80960 Display Processor and a 256K battery-backed RAM system memory. The color graphics controller is based on the T.I. TMS34020 Raster Graphics Chipset. Audio/Video Recorder Also new is the Cockpit Television System manufactured by Telemetrics. The current Airborne Video Tape Recorder (AVTR) will be replaced by a TEAC color audio visual tape recorder. Head Up Display images as well as the images of the Multi Function Displays will be selectable for recording which is great for the debriefing of missions. ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل The same Danish MLU, now in flight. (LMTAS photo) Helmet Mounted Display A helmet-mounted display (HMD) is not part of the present configuration, but program director Philip Schwab believes that the European operators may decide to incorporate it if the program continues to progress well. Lockheed Martin and Honeywell have demonstrated the use of the HMD, combined with DTS, to allow the pilot to designate targets of opportunity simply by placing an HMD pipper on the target. EPAF and USAF are to pursue a five-nation HMD program, related to the introduction of the ASRAAM, the Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile, somewhere in the next century. Software and hardware modifications are already being studied by a cockpit review team and both space and wiring is already being accounted for in the current MLU. On Eglin AFB, Honeywell and GEC Marconi experiment with a Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), combined with Raytheon's Box-Office agile missile. Honeywell and GEC-Marconi will start with the development and promotion of a Look-And-Shoot Helmet Mounted Cueing System for the F-16. This year, flight tests will take place in one of Lockheed-Martin's F-16B duals. Side stick controller and throttle grip The side stick controller (manufactured by Lear Astronics Corporation) and throttle grip are ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل unit models and will replace the current Block-10/15 stick grips. Both throttle and stick will be equipped with various controls, for an increased variety of functions, including VHF and UHF communications, IFF interrogation, Improved Data Modem operation, secondary flight controls (speed brakes), night vision cockpit blackout selection (NVIS Switch) and boresighting as well as slaving of missiles (now only selectable via the cues of the Stores Control Panel, which requires hands-off-throttle, head-down operation). Modifications & Upgrades / Other features Improved Data Modem The Improved Data Modem (IDM), developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and built by Symetrics Inc., will be used to exchange data of various systems and targets with other aircraft (e.g. F-16, A-10, AH-64 or E-8 JSTARS) or with a ground station. Provisions have been made for the Link 16 Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS). Electronic Warfare Management System An Electronic Warfare Management System (EWMS) developed by Terma Elektronik AS in Denmark provides centralized EW control for entire EW suite : management of threats (RWR), ANQ pods and advanced chaff/flare systems. ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل Belgian Air Force ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل MLU. The block 20 can be distinguished by the birdslicers. These are part of the indiginous IFF system. (Luis Rosa photo) Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver MAGR, Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver built by Rockwell-Collins Avionics & Communications Division, operating via an E-Systems antenna. It provides accurate position, velocity and time to support navigation, steering and weapon delivery. This system is smaller and lighter than the Block 40/50 receiver (RCVR 3A), consumes less power but delivers the same performance. Digital Terrain System A Digital Terrain System (DTS), which uses the British Aerospace Systems & Equipments (BASE) Terprom system hosted on a Fairchild Defense memory module (128kb). The DTS provides precise navigation (in conjunction with the Rockwell/E-Systems GPS) and performs a number of safety and situational-awareness functions in low-level flight. This does not imply however, that the F-16 will be capable of automatic terrain following. The (former Block-10/-15) F-16 aircraft does not have a digital flight control system, so the system cannot be linked directly to the aircraft's Flight Control System. The pilot will be following the DTS advice manually by flying on the Flight Path Marker in the HUD. The system is as accurate as the accuracy of the maps being used, so this requires extremely accurate maps of the area. Cockpit Layout The cockpit layout will be the one of the F-16C Block-40/50. However, unlike the Block-40/50 aircraft, the MLU F-16s will be equipped with color displays. The cockpit lighing will be compatible with Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) and all visible surfaces will be painted black. The Night Vision goggles are deactivated in the HUD field-of-view to allow inhibited HUD viewing. Provisions for recce pods Up to now, if the F-16 were to carry reconnaissance pods, it had to be specially equipped for that purpose. A number of Dutch F-16s has been equipped to carry the Oudedelft pod. The MLU will see a standard recce interface installed for a number of reconnaissance pods. Provisions for the Microwave Landing System This system will be incorporated in the F-16 structure. The system will not be standard equipment on the F-16 and the particular countries have to by it seperately. Although not standard, the system will enhance flight safety by adding an MLS, which can guide the pilot through adverse weather conditions. Recent developments First flights of TVI aircraft The first of five TVI aircraft for the MLU has made its first flight from Fort Worth on April 28, 1995. This USAF F-16C, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل /ED, a Block 15 model, is destined for the 20 Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB. The second TVI aircraft made its first flight on May 11, 1995. This is a two-seat F-16B aircraft ( ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل ) of the Royal Danish Air Force. The first two of five TVI aircraft were transported to Edwards AFB on June 9th, 1995. Start of initial development test & evaluation In June 1995, the first flights took place in the MLU's DT&E phase on Edwards Air Force base, under the leadership of main contractor Lockheed-Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems and the United States Air Force. Each of the four EPAF countries supplied its own test pilot. Following the DT&E phase Both aircraft will be equipped with special measurement systems and will be used in the Development Test & Evaluation test program at Edwards AFB, which will last until October 1997. The three other TVI aircraft will be used in the DT&E phase until mid-1996. Further tests will then take place at Leeuwarden Air Base, The Netherlands, which will denote the start of the Operational Test & Evaluation phase of MLU. At Leeuwarden, four more MLU aircraft will join the program, the so called Lead The Fleet (LTF) aircraft, the first F-16s that will be modified for each of the four EPAF countries. DT&E software tapes 1 thru 4 The DT&E aircraft now use the MLU Tape-1 software. This version will be replaced in June 1996 by the more extensive Tape-2 at the beginning of the OT&E phase. Tape-4 denote the final version which will be used in the Mid Life Update of other aircraft to be modified. M1 tape Development of the M1-tape went through four phases of Flight Test Tapes (FTT). In each of these test tapes, other performances where met, including: FTT-1 tape Radar performance evaluation FTT-2 tape Weapon modes Air-Air and Air-Ground testing Navigation (INS and GPS) Basic MMC core functions integration FTT-3 tape Datalink IFF interrogation Horizontal Situation Display DTS integration Cockpit color screen implementation FTT-4 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) After the M1 tape, the M2 tape followed in 2000, M3 tape in 2003, M4 tape in 2005, M5 tape in 2008 and M6 tape in 2011. All these tapes incorporate other features, including: M2 tape Automatic Target Hand-off System (ATHS) Integration of anti radiation (AGM-88) missile capability Integration of target designator system Further implementation of the Digital Terrain System M3 tape Integration of the Link-16 system Integration of capability for GPS controlled weapons (GBU30/32) Introduction of Helmet Mounted/Cueing Sight Introduction of NVG compatible helmets M4 tape From this tape onwards the first release was already a subrelease starting at MX.1 M4.1 tape Introduction of advanced short-range missile, as a replacement for the current ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل (AIM-9X, IRIS-T) Integration of advanced Link-16 functions Integration of SNIPER targeting pods M4.2 tape Integration of the latest HARM Targeting System (HTS) and its R7 software Integration of SNIPER targeting pod and its S3 software (capable of cataloguing, storing and relaying target images using the Link 16 data-link. M4.2 gives the capability to use the HTS and Sniper ATP on the same aircraft) This tape was the first common software for USAF CCIP upgraded block 40/50 airframes. M4.3 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) M5 tape M5.1 tape Integration of capability for stand-off weapons (AGM-154) Introduction of more advanced A/G weapons (EGBU-12) Introduction of advanced Stores Management System and Joint Mission Planning System Introduction of an improved GPS/INS system (more accurate and jamming proof) Introduction of new Link-16 message standards to improve interoperability between different aircraft types Installation of AN/ARC-210 VHF radios to enable radio contact with FAC’s on the ground M5.2 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) M6 tape M6.1 tape Improved IFF system (Mode 5 waveform with better distinction between friendly and enemy aircraft) Introduction of AIM-120D missile (two-way datalink, improved navigation and High-Angle Off-Boresight capabilities, a doubled range) Introduction of more advanced A/G weapons (GBU-39 SDB, GBU-54 LJDAM) Integration of improved Link-16 functions with net-centric capability Integration of a new Universal Armament Interface to standardize communication between the aircraft and the weapons, illuminating the need for new OPF tapes with every new weapon system M6.2 tape "Clean-up" tape (intended as correction to imperfections found in earlier phases) Included minor updates like Auto ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل capability nearly eliminating Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, a leading cause of F-16 loss of pilot and aircraft accidents. M6.5 tape From this tape onwards there will be a difference between the European numbering sequence and the US. Funding for the M-tapes was extended through the years up untill number M6. The normal succession would mean an M7 would be next. This will be the case for the US (with their F-16s lasting untill well into the 2030s). Since the European F-16s are much older and reaching the end of their lifespan (2020-2030) it was difficult to convince them to extend funding for more updates to the F-16s. Specifically the Netherlands and Norway weren't eager since they already opted to replace the F-16 with the F-35 with fleet introduction starting in 2019 and F-16 phase out around 2024). Much of the updates found in tape M6.5 will be the same as tape M7. Rectification of some earlier weapon integration shortcomings Integration of new weapons (JASSM, ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل , EGBU-12, SDB, AIM-120D and AIM-9X) Integration of advanced racks (BRU-69), pylons, adapters and the UAI (ensuring nuclear surety and compatibility) Update of the Link-16 protocol Upgrade of the ليس لديك تصريح لمشاهدة الرابط، فضلا قم ب تسجيل الدخول او تسجيل interface software Update of the AN/ALR-56M system Update of the GPS system M7 tape Will have the same set of updates as the European M6.5 tape. Most probably numbering will continue in the M7 and later tapes with the European air forces sticking in the M6.X numbering untill F-16 phase out is achieved in the 2020s.
