OFP Updates on all F-16 aircraft

Abstract

OFP versions are updated continually to integrate new mission capabilities, weapons, targeting pods, and improved avionics. F-16 OFPs are developed 100% organically by the 309th Software Engineering Group (SWEG) at Hill AFB, UT. Increment 2 OFP is comprised of annual OFP production releases consisting of pre-block called "SCU” and post-block "M-Series” software releases. Main thrusts will integrate new precision weapons, advanced targeting pods, and improved avionics to meet DoD mandates in order to modernize the F-16's architecture. Systems Integration Labs (SILs) are required to integrate software into the various hardware, validate user requirements, and review system safety and security prior to release to flight test. These labs require annual upgrades to increase development and test efficiencies which also includes Development-Security-Operations (DevSecOps) technologies. The OFP effort also contains Program Management Administration (PMA) support activities to include, but are not limited to, travel, office supplies, training courses, Video Teleconferencing (VTC), support contractors, and to support flight test personnel and equipment in order to keep facilities active.
