中華民國空軍F-16V開始進行飛航測試
中華民國空軍耗資1100億台幣升級145架的「鳳展專案」，首架由漢翔航太自行改裝的F-16V戰機自今年六月開始進行地面滑行測試後，近日開始進行相關的飛行測試。
「鳳展專案」首批4架F-16A/B戰機在2015年開始進駐位於台中沙鹿的漢翔航太，首批四架出廠的F-16V將做為技術驗證機，升級後的F-16V將換裝AN/APG-83型先進主動相位陣列雷達(AESA)、新型任務電腦後以及更換F-16C/D型起落架等，AN/APG-83可同時執行搜索、追蹤、並鎖定多個目標，偵測距離比原有APG66(V)3雷達增加30%以上，整體戰場偵知能力將可提升220%，自我防護能力也可提升180%。
F-16V將配有聯合頭盔瞄準系統(Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System,JHMCS)，大幅提高接戰的便利性，武器的部分將搭配新款的AIM-9X響尾蛇飛彈、AGM-154C遠距遙攻精準彈藥 (Joint Standoff Weapon,JSOW)、AGM-88B高速反輻射飛彈 (High-speed anti-Radiation Missile,HARM)以及新型電戰莢艙，讓F-16V戰機具備對敵地面目標和雷達的遠距遙攻能力。
Taiwan’s first F-16V modified by the local Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) began flight testing a few days ago. The aircraft, serial 6626, a single-seater, had been undertaking high-speed taxis tests since June.
The Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) is spending $3.8bn to upgrade 145 surviving F-16A/Bs under the Phoenix Rising project. The first batch of four F-16A/B fighters began to arrive at the AIDC factory in Taichung at the beginning of 2017. These first four jets will be used as technical verification aircraft.
The upgraded F-16V introduces an AN/APG-83 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, new mission computer and F-16C/D landing gear. The AN/APG-83 can simultaneously perform search, tracking and lock-on functions. For multiple targets, the detection range is increased by more than 30% compared with the original APG-66(V)3 radar. Overall battlefield detection capability is reportedly increased by 220%, and self-protection capability by 180%.
The F-16V will also be equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS). The fighter will be paired with the new AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, AGM-154C Joint Standoff Weapon and AGM-88B High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM). The F-16V will also receive a new electric warfare pod.
