F/A-18 Block III
Abstract
F/A-18 Block III is a series of development efforts that are required to deliver necessary combat capabilities to meet the objectives outlined in the National Defense Strategy and provide aircraft lethality and kill chain effectiveness. Enhancements under development include: Advanced EW upgrades, improved radar cross section, AESA Radar upgrades, alternative fire control solutions, and other improvements that enhance aircraft survivability, lethality, sensor fusion, networking effectiveness, and targeting upgrades at the tactical leading edge in highly contested environments. F/A18 Block III is a follow-on to Block II upgrades and the combined impact of these upgrades will ensure that the numerically predominant strike-fighter aircraft in the USN inventory remains lethal and survivable into the 2030's.
