The F-16C Fighting Falcon is a tactical fighter developed
from the F-l6A PLUS. Since the decision to adopt the
F-16 u'as first reached by the USAF, vrious improve-
ments to the design were proposed as the aircraft was put
throu-eh its paces. Known collectively as the Multi-Stage
Improvement Plan (MSIP), these upgrades were first
appli ed to rhe F - 16C. and t h ey i nclu d e d re p la cin g th e
APG-66 Fire Connol System with the APG-68 and fitting
out *ith improved target acquisition and IFF (Identify
Friend,foe) capabilities. Also, load-out with the new
AIM-120 (AMRAAM) provided the Falcon with a simulta-
neous multiple targeting system that greatly increased the
combat capabilities of the aircraft. The engine bay was con-
verted to accept either the Pratt & Whitney F-100 or the
General Electric F-l 10. The most significant change to the
outward appearance of the Falcon is the extensive ECM
(Electronic Counter Measures) gear housed in the fillet of
the vertical stabilizer, increasing its length and giving it a
characteristic swollen or ballooned appearance.
The most distinguishing characteristic of the Block 40/42
Night Falcon is the "lantern pod" which gives the aircraft
both night and all-weather ground attack capabilities. The
AN/AAQ-
14 pod installed on the left side of the air intake
contains FLIR
(Forward
Looking
Infrared)
gear which
enables day-or-night long range ground taget acquisition,
while the AN/AAQ-l3
navigation
pod installed on the
right side of the air intake contains both FLIR and TFR
(Tenain-following
Radar)
gear,
giving
the
aircraft
superlative nighttime low-altitude penetration capabilities.
