 The first Phase IA Block 50/52 F-16 modified under the Common Configuration Implementation Program was delivered to the 57th FW at Nellis AFB, Nevada, in early December where it will undergo follow-on testing and evaluation. Phase IA incorporates the APX-113 air-to-air interrogator, two new color multifunction displays, and software for the high-speed antiradiation missile targeting system pod. Phase II will be fielded in July 2003; Phase III, beginning in 2005. F-16s from the 389th FS at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, are next in line to receive CCIP. The 389th will be the first operational squadron to convert to CCIP. The aircraft are being modified at the Ogden Air Logistics Center, Utah, the prime depot for the F-16. Modification kits and field support are provided by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company. See Code One fourth quarter 2002 for more information on CCIP. |
