The F-16 Wild Weasel: A Feasibility Study.

Abstract

This study attempts to determine the feasibility of the Wild Weasel proposal being made by General Dynamics Corporation. The investigation covers the NATO threat, a brief history of the Wild Weasel; the capabilities of the current wild weasel (F-4G Phantom); the capabilities of the F-16 Wild Weasel; and a cost comparison of the F-16 and F-4G Wild Weasel aircraft. The investigation reveals that an advanced Wild Weasel is necessary to contend with the Soviet air defense system and to be compatible with near-future Allied fighter aircraft. (Author)
