IAI is scheduled to produce 811 pairs of F-35A wings, with a potential value of over $2 billion by 2034, and recently reopened the assembly lines for the F-16 wings, vertical fins and conformal fuel tanks.
Prior to reopening the F-16 wing and fin lines, IAI invested in modernising infrastructure, improving the work environment, and introducing new tools to produce fully compliant aerostructures.
PZL Mielec last manufactured jet powered aircraft more than 20 years ago. Now it will build the rear fuselage, centre fuselage, cockpit structure, cockpit side panel and forward equipment bay for all F-16s.
CAES will leverage its design approaches and high volume manufacturing expertise to deliver a frequency synthesiser and integrated RF assemblies that meet the L3Harris Viper Shield system requirements.
The expansion of Lockheed Martin's Johnstown, Pennsylvania facility will generate 80 new jobs and the production will include a variety of parts for the F-16.
Continuing demand for the F-16 has led to a resumption in production of wings by IAI, alongside those for the F-35 and T-38. Lockheed Martin is on the lookout for further expanded cooperation with Israel in the future.
The baseline version of the Viper Shield electronic warfare system is integrated into the aircraft fuselage, saving space for additional capability such as a fuel pod that could be attached externally.
The Orion Combat 3D Audio Management System will feature on the F-16, as well as on Lockheed Martin's F-21 future fighter aircraft contender for the Indian Air Force.
