block 60
Block "new" 60 F - 16 shows the evolutionary step ahead of the current block 50 aircraft in the first Block 60 was developed with a delta wing design. Through the process of development, LMTAS strategic change and decided to just start from the F - 16 Basic without having to change too much in their design.And aircraft structures.Block 60 features an enormous amount of new capabilities. For one thing, the Fighting Falcon Block 60 'is extended with the addition of fuselage mounted conformal fuel tanks and wing tanks, similar to the F - 16ES and Block 50/52 Plus.
Secondly, Northrop Grumman AN/ASQ-28 IFTS (FLIR Systems, and I expected), the pods in the aircraft earlier. With state of the art components and packaging technologies, the FLIR system, within the meaning of the backpack (IFTS) is composed of highly versatile FLIR / laser system into the nose, F - 16 to improve mortality and survival, and weight loss. and drag-and-laser and fixed as expected. Pod mounted under the fuselage. The removal of a large pod also enhances stealthiness.
Thirdly, the integrated electronic warfare suite with Northrop Grumman 'Falcon Edge' internal electronic countermeasures system Northrop Grumman AN/APG-80 "Agile Beam Radar" with the AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array), an electronic warfare system. A. Fiber optic avionics system bus and up to eight chaff flare dispenser / with a friend or foe to date. Of modern aircraft flew a series of room for improvement in the future. The mission of the Block 60's modular computer with the processing of 12.5 million instructions per second, and the integration of sensors and weapons.

ALQ - 165 electronic countermeasures system, also known as the air of self-protection Jammer (ASPJ) is a complex of high-power jamming system developed to meet the U.S. Navy and Air Force requirements - although the USAF abandonned the program. a while ago. warning missile in 60 Block, the warnings of advanced rockets close to the pilot can activate countermeasures in time to block 60 F - 16 can accommodate both active and passive missile warning now. development.
Any pilot, F - 16 can operate a mission with the head up and his eyes, he looked out of the cockpit and with his hands in the flight control 60 blogs added to this interface, the pilots great aircraft. The combination of the three 5-inch by 7 inch color display with aircraft wiring and space for a helmet mounted cuing system that can be added to improve pilot situational awareness.
Block 60 F - 16 is still a weapon full of 50 blocks and add new capabilities to the basic design of the Block 60 and the weapon is compatible with the weapon, predicted in the future, including missile air. into the air, such as AIM - 132 short of advanced missiles, air - to - air (ASRAAM) The aircraft will also support the all-weather, standoff weapons, such as weapons Standoff - 154 shareholders and (JSOW), and Standoff Land shares. Shareholders - 84E missile attack (SLAM).
Block 60 F - 16 was developed by improving the growth of planning and technology advances in virtually all major areas, including engines, avionics and weapons systems.Manufacturing
The Block 60 will only be sold to the United Arab Emirates. All orders for the aircraft stand at 80 55 losing a single seat version E - 25 and two-seat F - Deliveries will begin in 2004 and run through 2007.Spec.
