Air Force officials are moving ahead with avionics upgrades on some of the service's newer F-16s in addition to structural upgrade work already planned for the aircraft, according to a senior service official.
The service will add communications navigation capability upgrades and radar upgrades to some of its older Block-40 and Block-50 aircraft, said Lt. Gen. Philip Breedlove, deputy chief of staff for operations, plans and requirements. He talked about the avionics and radar upgrades for the first time this week but did not provide further details.
