Combat Avionics Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES)
Abstract
F-16 Blk 40/50 Combat Avionics Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES): This avionics modernization program is needed to keep the F-16 Blk 40-52 aircraft viable in the threat environment beyond 2025. It includes but is not limited to an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that offers improved destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD), and advanced electronic protection capabilities as well as improved reliability and maintainability; center pedestal display (CPD), which replaces existing flight instrument cluster with large higher resolution color multi-function display; electronic warfare (EW) updates (ALQ-213), which provides a single-point access for automated or hands-on EW system control; and integrated broadcast service (IBS) that integrates multiple intelligence broadcasts into a system of systems and migrates tactical receive terminals into a single related joint tactical terminal (JTT) family.
