F-16s Updated For Smart Weapons


F-16s Updated For Smart WeaponsUSAF began using a software update that will add a new smart weapons capability to its 400-aircraft fleet of Block 40/42 F-16s. The new smart weapons, which provide the ability to conduct precision attacks in all weather and avoid intense threat defenses near the target, include the GBU-31 joint direct attack munitions, AGM-154 joint stand-off weapon, CBU-103/104/105 wind-corrected munitions dispenser, and the EGBU-27 enhanced laser-guided bomb. The software update is the sixth for USAF’s Block 40/42 fleet. The seventh update is well along in development at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. “USAF has challenged us to produce software updates about every two years for each block in the USAF F-16C/D fleet,” said Bill Lake, director of USAF and European Participating Air Forces F-16 programs at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. “This update keeps the F-16 current with the latest developments in weapons capabilities.”
