Modernizare F-16 românești la standard M6.X

modernizare F16 romanesti

Congresul SUA a fost notificat cu privire la modernizarea F-16 românești, un program derulat prin Foreign Military Sales al cărui cost maxim estimat este de 175,4 milioane USD. Cu siguranță că va fi mai mic.

Din notificare, direct în engleză:

The Government of Romania has requested to buy upgrades to the avionics, software, communication equipment, navigational aids, and cockpit of its Mid-Life Update (MLU) Block 15 F-16 aircraft fleet along with additional logistics support. Included in the aircraft modernization are eight (8) LN-260 Global Positioning System (GPS) and nineteen (19) Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems (MIDS JTRS). Also included is AN/APX-126 Advanced Identification Friend or Foe (IFF); ARC-210 Radios; KIV-78 Cryptographic Appliques; other secure communications, navigation, and encryption devices; Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) software; aircraft minor modification, integration and test support, support equipment, software and software support; personnel training; spare and repair parts; publications and technical documentation; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistical support services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $175.4 million.

Dintre echipamentele solicitate se remarcă:

Ce mi-a mai atras atenția a fost următoarea frază: „Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of U.S. Government or contractor representatives in Romania.” Fraza asta îmi dă speranțe că modernizarea se va desfășura la Aerostar Bacău, desemnată Centru de Mentenanţă a aeronavelor F-16 și cu care de altfel, MAPN a încheiat recent un contract.

Avionica și mai ales comunicațiile par să fie marele câștigătoare ale acestui program de modernizare.
