OFP Updates on all F-16 aircraft

Abstract

OFP tapes are updated continually to integrate new weapons, targeting pods, and improved avionics. Both M-Series and Software Capability Upgrade (SCU) programs enable the design and coding of software for integration efforts. OFPs are required to integrate new precision weapons, advanced targeting pods, improved avionics, and hardware and software modifications to meet DoD mandates and build a modern avionics architecture in order to keep the F-16 current. OFP enhancements enable the F-16's ability to operate in contested environments and defend the homeland, which directly maps to NDS requirements. The OFPs are developed organically by the 309th Software Engineering Group (SWEG) at Hill AFB, UT. Systems Integration Labs (SIL) are required to integrate software into the host hardware and validate user requirements and check out system safety and security prior to release to flight test. The OFP effort also contains Program Management Administration (PMA) support activities to include travel, office supplies, training courses, Video Teleconferencing (VTC) and support contractors.
