Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) To Develop New Indigenous Modernization Kits and Mission Computers For F-16s
Upgrades will be applicable to all the F-16 Block 40 fighters of the Peace Onyx III and Block 50 fighters of the Peace Onyx IV programs, as well as the Block 30s that were acquired earlier. TAI plans to market the upgrades for export to other countries.
Turkey’s military aircraft giant Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is set to develop new indigenous modernization kits and mission computers. Previous news about TAI and Aselsan’s joint attempts to produce indigenous mission computers have been clarified by TAI insiders. Latest reports indicate that the companies have finalized their technical consultations with the MOD and industrial suppliers as of the end of January and the project has been given green light in order to equip Turkey’s vast fleet of F-16s with newly developed indigenous sensors and weapons such as Aselpod navigation and targeting system, various missiles and high-precision munitions produced and/or currently under development in Turkey.
Project aims to upgrade all of Turkish Air Force (TurAF) F-16s with indigenous mission computers, software and avionics in order to pave the way for the installation of an Aselsan-developed AESA radar by 2015.
Hardware for the avionics upgrade will be exclusively manufactured by Aselsan, while TAI will tackle the development of millions of lines of highly specialized software. Upgrades will be performed by the same team that performed C-130 modernization and software team mostly consists of experienced engineers who have worked on the Anka UAV development program. Upgraded aircraft will look somewhat similar to existing Peace Onyx exterior configurations, except with specific EW-E/O sensor additions and pylons capable of launching ’Made in Turkey’ guided munitions.
Integration of indigenous systems on aircraft of Lockheed Martin origin is known to be a difficult undertaking. TAI and Aselsan’s take on the project and F-16s “nationalization” at the Block 50 level is expected to offer Turkey a wide window of export and ‘transfer of technology’ (TOT) opportunities thanks to the F-16s widespread popularity around the world.
Turkey will be able to sell these countries comprehensive modernization packages like the CCIP, individual sensors and weapon systems like targeting pods and missiles, as well as “nationalization” opportunities with direct TOT.
Turkey’s ‘special status’ with the F-16 comes from its existing place among the world’s top three users of the aircraft, previous manufacturing and export experience with the Falcon (to Egypt), as well as Turkey’s long-standing partnership and commitment in the F-35 JSF program.
Some Turkish defence analysts suggest that Turkey’s newfound ability to nationalize the F-16 is simply a means for compensating the country for not being given F-35 source codes, despite the longstanding NATO member’s commitment for an initial batch of over 100 F-35s.

وأتمنا أن تلتفت مصر لهذا التطوير
شركة
(TAI)
للصناعات الجويه التركيه ستقوم بتحديث مقاتلات الأف16 التركيه وتزويدها بإلكترونيات جديده وأنظمة كمبيوتر حديثه
وسيشمل التطوير
مقاتلات F-16 Block 40 fighters and Block 50 fighters and Block 30s
وتتطلع الشركه لإجراء نفس التطويرات لدول أخرى
وتسعى الشركه للتعاون مع شركة Aselsan’s التركيه للإشتراك فى هذا التطوير
لتطوير كامل أسطول الأف16 التركيه
وتشمل التطويرات
انظمة كمبيوتر جديده
أجهزة إستشعار حديثه
أنظمة تسليح جديده
بودات تهديف
نظام ملاحه جديد
ذخائر حديثه عالية الدقه
وهذا التطوير للتمهيد لتركيب رادار المسح الإلكترونى الحديث Aselsan-developed AESA radar فى عام 2015
وجميع الإلكترونيات من صنع شركة Aselsan التركيه
وتساهم بهندسيه الذين إشتركو فى برنامج تطوير c130
والطائره بدون طيار أنكا
وتعمل الشركه على توسيع أعمالها وتصدير تقنياتها وحزم التطويرات الحديثه لجميع أنحاء العالم خاصة إن تركيا تعتبر ثالث مستخدم للأف16 فى العالم
وخاصة إن الشركه قامت من قبل ببيع مقاتلات f16 لمصر
