The United States has decided to extend maintenance contracts for F-16 fighter jets belonging to several nations, including Pakistan.
Northrop Grumman received a $488 million USAF contract for F-16 radar support until 2036.
KEY POINTS
- Pakistan's F-16s will get upgraded AN/APG-66 and AN/APG-68 radars but not the APG-83 AESA.
- These F-16 radars will enable real-time sensor fusion via Link-16 network integration.
- Radar software upgrades are expected to improve electronic warfare resilience against Indian jammers.
- Pakistan's upgraded F-16s are now expected to remain in service until at least 2040.
