Raytheon Flies New Advanced Combat Radar on F-16


20:24 GMT, December 2, 2010 EL SEGUNDO, Calif. | Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) Advanced Combat Radar, the latest Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, has successfully completed a series of flight trials on a U.S. Air Force F-16 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.

The radar demonstration flights were conducted in partnership with the U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin. The RACR team highlighted the multirole capabilities RACR could bring to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, which included executing a range of air-to-air and air-to-ground modes.

RACR is the product of company-funded development, leveraging Raytheon's proven capability in providing active electronically scanned array radar technology for multiple platforms. The RACR team completed development in a record 24 months.

"AESA radar technology has become a 'must have' for customers around the world who need to keep their aircraft relevant in the swiftly evolving battlespace," said Jim Hvizd, vice president, international business development, Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. "Successfully flying RACR on an F-16 is another critical step in demonstrating how we've optimized our AESA technology for F-16 customers, delivering the advanced radar capabilities they need to maintain an operational edge.

"Raytheon's AESA technology also lowers operation and support costs by an order of magnitude compared with those of mechanically scanned radars, resulting in significant customer savings over the life of a program," added Hvizd.

RACR is part of a family of Raytheon AESA radar systems designed to equip multiple aircraft with a low-risk, high-performance, affordable solution. The radar supports a rapid transition to production, leveraging Raytheon's existing full-rate AESA production lines, providing significant cost and schedule advantages for customers.

"Raytheon's AESA technology brings unparalleled capability and reliability to the F-16 at an acquisition cost comparable to the old mechanically scanned radars," said Brian MacDonald, RACR program manager, Raytheon's Tactical Airborne Systems. "RACR is now available as an option for domestic and international customers. We have designed, built and matured RACR from concept through to F-16 flight demonstration to ensure we can support any customer delivery time frames for new or retrofit aircraft requirements."

No recuerdo exactamente todo, eso lo pasaron en una visita del Presidente al CIDAE pero ya estaba muy adelantao dicho programa.

Ojala no se quede en eso y el CIDAE siga adelante

podra tener 4 soles, pero no deja de ser un majadero y chupamedia

como sus predecesores.

aparte de haber cambiado el TACAN por VOR, y eliminado la capacidad de portar bombas nucleares, el F-16A Block15 de la FAV adquirido en 1983 es virtualmente el mismo F-16A block 15 entregado a la USAF, EPAF y paises como paquistan e indonesia

Se referia a que no vino con todos los sistemas de armas, podrán ser F-16A block 15+++++, pero si sus sistemas de armas completo, entre otros, eran aviones chucutos, ja ja
