Proposal Statement
Electronic Warfare Suite Capable of Geo-Location and Advanced Processing for Integration of Sensors.
Recommendation Information
A state-of-the-art Electronic Warfare Suite Capable of Geo-Location and Advanced Processing for Integration of Sensors to survive and dominate in a contested electromagnetic environment. ANG F-16s require a robust integrated electronic attack suite to counter current and future radars. All ANG F-16 aircraft electronic warfare (EW) suites are comprised of a series of EW equipment designed in the 1980s, providing inadequate defensive situational awareness and countermeasures against many current and future radar systems. Both systems suffer from sustainment and capability issues against modern threat systems. The attributes of this integrated suite shall incorporate an upgraded radar warning receiver (RWR), a digital radio frequency memory upgraded electronic attack (EA) pod, a pylon missile warning system (MWS), and the ALQ-213 legacy electronic combat (EC) integration system. The F-16 fleet has two legacy analog RWRs (ALR-69 and ALR-56M) and two legacy analog EA pods (ALQ-131 and ALQ-184) that require sustainment and digital-based performance upgrades. The ALQ-213 EC integration system is installed on all F-16 Block 30/32 aircraft, but it must be installed on the remaining 30 F-16 Block 40/42/50/52, of which 174 have been procured. F-16s will remain at risk to many current and all advanced threat systems, negatively impacting the pilot’s ability to survive, accomplish assigned missions, and meet combatant commander requirements. This resolution is a 2024 WEPTAC Critical Capability and is supported by the CAF Task Force and F-16 Weapons Systems Council.
