About F-16 C / D Block 52 ID … ( Indonesian Air Forces )


Justify the F-16 C / D Block 25, which granted the US to Indonesia after the upgrade will have similar capabilities the F-16 C / D Block 52?




 
















F-16 C / D which is currently being upgraded at Hill AFB has an official name F-16 C / D block 52 ID, it will have the ability in many ways equivalent F-16 Block 52, in particular avionics sophistication, ability combat, and the type of weaponry…. The whole plane previously used grant the US Air Force and has been deposited with the Davis Monthan AFB either / AMARG (Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group) in very dry desert so it is ideal as a US Air Force aircraft storage….  While the entire aircraft engine F-16 C / D 52ID namely F100-PW-220 / E undergoing upgrades at Pratt & Whitney plant in Old Kelly AFB, so having two component life times longer than a standard machine….



Actually, the F-16 C / D 52ID F-16 based on the F-16 C / D Block 25, which has a physical form and a maximum gross weight and the type of machine that is the same as the F-16 Block 15 A / B OCU that Indonesian airfprces have. ..F-16 C / D 52ID has a maximum gross weight of 37,500 lbs and turbo fan jet engine the same, namely Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 / E with a thrust of 24,000 lbs that have thrust to weight ratio of 0.64…. Differences with the F-16 C / D Block 52 which has a maximum gross weight of 52,000 lbs and driven machine F100-PW-229 with 29,000 lbs of thrust that has a T / W ratio of 0.56….  In close combat or short-range air combat, Air Force F-16 with the T / W ratio greater have better agility than the F-16 Block 52….



Further upgrading and refurbished aircraft underwent order and avionics systems and weapons in Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Odgen, Utah…. Strengthened airframe, cable networks and new electronics installed, all the old systems into new and reconditioned new system added that the plane reborn, ready to become the new aircraft with capabilities far greater than at birth…



Regarding the upgrade is the F-16 C / D Block 52 with a greater thrust able to carry heavier weapons and Conformal Fuel Tanks can be installed in the back and carry the 600-gallon drop tanks so they can fly farther... But for dogfight, with short-range missiles AIM-9 Sidewinder P-4 / L / M and IRIS-T (NATO) as well as medium-range missiles AIM-120 AMRAAM-C, clear the F-16 C / D 52ID Air Force does not losing the Block 50/52…



Even confirmed in a duel at close range, the F-16 C / D 52ID Air Force was able to outperform the Block 50/52 about agility...For Land and water surfaces, the F-16 is also capable of carrying weapons ID canon 20mm, standard bomb MK 81/82 / 83/84, Laser Guided Bomb, AGM-65 Maverick missiles, AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship, AGM-88 HARM antiradar, ACMI Pod and be able to use navigation and targeting pod for night operations and missions Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD), ie destroy enemy air defenses. Improved Data Modem allows pilots to communicate without using only voice data communications with other aircraft and ground-based radar, sea radar or fly radar.



Upgrade F-16 C / D 52ID not mess because of the pursuit of equal ability with Block 52, including installing Mission Computer MMC-7000A version of the M-5 used and even the Block 52+ F-22, equipped computer steering system (FLCS) digital, a pair of Color Multifunction Displays block-52, HUD-width block 52 with night vision capability, digital terrain system and digital Moving Map block 52, color cockpit camera block-52, the throttle grip and side stick controller Block-52, countermeasures management switch to control ALE-47, voice message unit for collision avoidance systems and ground avoidance advisory function Block-52.



Transfer of landing / taxi lights to nose landing gear door to make room on the targeting pod, improved the data modem link 16 Block-52, embedded GPS INS (EGI) block 52 which combines the functions of GPS and INS, the common data entry electronics units Block-52 , AN / ALQ-213 electronic warfare management system, ALR-69 radar warning receivers Class IV, ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser set to release chaff / flare as well as the installation of the drag chute Block-52 that will be installed in Indonesia.



While radar AN / APG-68 (V) to upgrade the software in order to increase its ability to fit the mission computer 7000A. The principle is the F-16 C / D 52ID Indonesian Air Force undergoing the Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) as is done on the F-16 Block 40/42 USAF CD in order to increase to the standard Block-50/52.



All F-16 C / D 52ID Indonesian Air Force also undergo structural modifications to the aircraft frame Falcon STAR program (Structural Augmentation Roadmap) so that the air frame life to more than 10,000 hours…. This allows the aircraft used 10 years before undergoing dervice Life Extension Program (SLEP) were able to increase the lifespan of around 2,000 hours airframe or 10 years of life.

.
At the time ,..the F-16 C / D 52 ID life time  expires it is expected that Indonesia already has a fleet of modern fighters future generations 4.5 or generation 5…. F-16 C / D 52ID is an excellent bridge to bring Indonesian step forward, not only produce proficient pilots and technicians, but also brings us together to master the technology, management, and modern air combat tactics, especially in joint operations with other armaments on land, sea and air. ..So know what it takes Indonesia to build a strong of airpower...
