Combat Avionics Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES)

Abstract

F-16 Blk 40-52 CAPES: The CAPES effort has been terminated as part of the FY15 budget cycle for higher AF priorities. This avionics modernization program would keep the F-16 Blk 40-52 aircraft viable in the threat environment beyond 2025. It includes but is not limited to an AESA radar that offers improved destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD), and advanced electronic protection capabilities as well as improved reliability and maintainability; CDU, which replaces existing flight instrument cluster with large higher resolution color multi-function display; EW updates (ALQ-213 Electronic Warfare Management System), which provides a single-point access for automated or hands-on EW system control; and IBS that integrates multiple intelligence broadcasts into a system of systems and migrates tactical receive terminals into a single related JTT family.
