Northrop Grumman gets contract for 514 APG-68(V)9 radars
December 10, 2007 (by Lieven Dewitte) - Northrop Grumman Systems received a $730 million contract for covering up to 514 AN/APG-68(V)9 radar systems.
These mechanically-scanned array radars have become standard in the latest F-16C/D aircraft and represent significant advances over previous models. In comparison with previous APG-68 radars, the v9 model offers improved detection range and resolution in both air-air and air-ground modes.
Only the block 60 aircraft, destined for the UAE, are to be equipped with a more advanced version – the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar.
Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technology processors allow 5x faster processing speed and 10x memory capacity, along with high resistance to interference or countermeasures and future growth potential.
In air-air mode, the APG-68V9 offers 30% longer detection ranges and can search in a larger volume while tracking up to four targets.
In air-ground mode, its synthetic-aperture radar mode generates high-resolution pictures and mapping with resolution under 1 meter, comparable to military imaging satellites.
Enhanced Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) functionality and an inertial measurement unit complement its SAR capabilities with improved tracking performance and auto-boresight capability and its increased detection range even functions amidst the inevitable clutter that accompanies sea surveillance mode.
The first delivery order under the contract covers 30 radar systems for the government of Turkey, which will be accomplished under the firm-fixed-price portion of the contract and obligate $36 million. Turkey has a $1.8 billion program underway to acquire 30 more F-16C/D aircraft.

$1.1B to Upgrade Turkish F-16 fleet

Turkish F-16
(click to view full)
The Turkish and US governments signed a letter of offer and acceptance (LOA) on April 26, 2005 for the $1.1-billion modernization of 117 Turkish Air Force F-16s to a common avionics configuration. December 2006 saw a $635.1 million contract under that framework issued to Lockeed Martin.
The upgrade will create a common avionics configuration for the service's fleet of F-16 Block 40 and 50 aircraft. More than 200 F-16 aircraft make up the backbone of Turkey's current fighter fleet. Systems to be integrated on Turkey's upgraded F-16s include:
* The AN/APG-69(V)9 radar that is currently being installed on new F-16 Advanced Block 50/52 aircraft
* Color cockpit displays
* The Modular Mission Computer and new avionics processors
* The Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
* The Link 16 datalink
* New identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) transponders
* AN/AVS-9 night-vision goggles
* Upgraded navigation systems; and
* BAE Systems' AN/ALQ-178(V)5+ electronic-warfare (EW) system, mounted internally, with radar-warning and jamming capabilities for aircraft self-protection
The aircraft will also be modified to accept new missile systems of unspecified types; some potential candidates include the AIM-9X Sidewinder, AIM-120 AMRAAM, and MBDA Meteor.
The deal will be conducted under the US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, with Lockheed Martin in Ft. Worth, TX serving as principle contractor, although the actual modification of the aircraft will be performed by TUSAS Aerospace Industries in Ankara, Turkey. TUSAS is currently the focus of a Turkish defense industry consolidation plan sponsored by the Turkish government.
Political Background
In all probability, this program's cost and scope will end Turkish enquiries concerning the Eurofighter Typhoon as a bridge between its current F-16 fleet and the J-35 Joint Strike Fighter scheduled to arrive around 2015. Turkey had also been complaining about levels of local work share and technology transfer in a number of defense deals with the United States; presumably, the work done by TUSAS was enough to address this.
The joint statement also came immediately after Turkey's Cabinet approved a long-standing U.S. request to allow the American military to fly more supplies into Iraq and Afghanistan from a strategic air base in southern Turkey. Incirlik, located on the outskirts of the southern city of Adana, is currently home to some 10 U.S. refueling aircraft used to support operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are about 1,400 U.S. airmen at the base.
The United States was seeking permission to establish an expanded logistics hub at Incirlik to be able to fly large civilian cargo flights to the base and redistribute the cargo to military aircraft bound for Afghanistan and Iraq. Washington was also asking for blanket clearance for all cargo flights. Turkey has insisted in the past that the United States had to get separate permission for each flight.
The Turkish decision on Incirlik was a step toward improving relations with the United States that were strained when Turkey refused to allow the 4th Infantry Division to invade Iraq from Turkish territory in March 2003.

Turkey's Fighter Future?
Dec 22/06: Lockheed Martin Corp., in Fort Worth, TX received a $635.1 million firm-price-incentive contract modification. This effort will provide for 216 modification kits for 76 Block 50, 103 Block 40, 37 Block 30, F-16C and F-16D aircraft for the Turkish Air Force (TuAF). The effort also includes flight testing, training, technical support and sustainment activities.
This contract continues work started under an initial contract signed in July 2005, based on an agreement signed between the governments of Turkey and the United States in April 2005; at this time, total funds have been obligated. Solicitations began May 2005, negotiations were complete November 2006, and work will be complete February 2016. Work will occur primarily at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics facility in Fort Worth, TX and at Tusas Aerospace Industries in Ankara, Turkey. The Headquarters Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH issued the contract (FA8615-05-C-6002/PZ00002)

Die türkischen F16 bekommen das AN/APG-69(V)9 Radar. Nur die der Block 60 ist besser! Wo ist das schlecht? Das einzige wo die türkei greichenland hinterherhinkt, muss man tatsächlich zugeben ist die Luftabwehr. Soweit ich weiss warten wir aber auf angebote von USA .

aj wen du weisst,d as ihr uns einen schritt vorraus seit, dan nenne doch mal die systeme, die besser sind als unsere. Gibt es nähmlich nicht viele. Ich weiss ehrlich nicht was dein/ euer problem ist. Wieso denkt ihr immer, die türkei rüstet sich gegen GR? Hast du mal auf die Karte geschaut? Obern Iran Rechts Armenien, Iran unten Irak. Wieso fühlt ihr griechen euch immer angesprochen? die türkei versucht nicht mit den greichen mitzuzuehen, den die griechen sind den türken im moment ziemlich scheiss egal. die haben da untenb gerade andere probleme. wne du nachrichten guckenb würdest, würdest du das wissen. wen wir uns gegen euch aufrüsten würen, würden wir bestimmt keine 4 (option auf 3 weitere) AWACS kaufen. Es werden Keine neuen schiffe mehr zugelegt, nur modernisiert weil wir keine brauchen. Das geld was wir hierbei sparen investieren wir in neue waffen für das herr und neue schutzausrüstung, bergpanzer und hubschrauber etc etc.
