The current production version of the Fighting Falcon is Block 50/52. It was produced in parallel with the Block 40/42, beginning in 1991. It was unofficially designated F-16CJ/DJ.
The Block 42 F-16C/D weighed over 3000 pounds more than the earlier F-16A/B, but had approximately the same engine thrust. In addition, the Block 40/42 was expected to carry much heavier and bulkier loads, which called for much more engine power, especially at low altitudes. More engine power was clearly required.
In support of this requirement, the USAF launched a project known as Increased Performance Engine (IPE) to develop more powerful versions of both the F100 and F110. The results were the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 (for the Block 52) and the General Electric the F110-GE-129 (for the Block 50), both of which offered significantly more takeoff thrust and better performance at high speeds at low level.
The F100-PW-229 combines the core of the -220 with a new low-pressure section and an improved augmenter, giving about 22 percent more thrust. This improved performance brings the F100 nearly up to the performance level of the F110. The F100-PW-229 is lighter and more powerful than earlier F100s, and had been flying at Edwards AFB since mid-1990 in test ship 81-0816.
The F110-GE-129 introduced internal changes to make it possible for the engine to run hotter. The -129 engine offers about a ten-percent incrrease in high-altitude thrust and about a 30 percent increase in high-speed, low-level thrust.
Both engines are rated at 29,000 lb.s.t.
The first Block 50 F-16 (90-0801) flew for the first time on October 22, 1991, with company test pilot Keith Giles at the controls. The first Block 50 F-16D (90-0834) took off on its first flight on April 1, 1992, with Steve Barter and Bland Smith on board. The first Block 50 F-16 was delivered to the USAF in November of 1993, with the 388th Fighter Wing at Hill AFB, Utah being the first recpient.
The first Block 52 F-16C (90-0809) was made on October 22, 1992, with Steve Barter, and the first Block 52 F-16D (90-0839) flew for the first time on November 24, 1992, with Joe Sweeney and Steve Barter at the controls. The 23rd FS based at Spangdahlem in Germany was the first USAFE unit to receive the Block 50, which arrived in 1993.
The Block 50/52 carries the Westinghouse APG-68(V5) radar, which has a high-speed integrated circuit signal processor which makes the unit twice as fast as the radar of the Block 40/42. In additional, the radar is considerably more reliable than the earlier unit. The signal processor improves the radar's reliability and performance in electronic countermeasures. The radar has a programmable signal processor that employs very high-speed integrated circuit (VHSIC) technology. The latest batches of Block 50/52 carry the same radar, but versions V(7) and V(8), which offer even greater performance envelopes. The VHF/FM antenna is now incorporated into the leading edge of the vertical fin and has an extended operating distance. The cockpit also includes 2 monochrome MFD's (soon to be replaced by the MLU's color displays) and a FOV HUD.
The Block 50's have the capability to fire the AIM-120 AMRAAM, the new AGM-65G Maverick missile and the PGU-28/B 200mm cannon round. The Block 50/52 is capable of carrying the new JDAM munition, the AGM-154A/B JSOW and is the first F-16 version to integrate the AGM-84 Harpoon antishipping missile. The AGM-137 TSSAM stand-off attack missile was also foreseen in its weaponry, but subsequently cancelled. The aircraft can launch the Harpoon in line-of-sight, bearing-only, and range/bearing modes. The addition of the Harpoon gives the F-16 a significant standoff range anti-shipping capability, especially when combined with optional 600-gallon fuel tanks.
The Block 50/52 is capable of carrying the Raytheon AGM-88B HARM antiradiation missile. In order to make this missile compatible with the F-16, a HARM Avionics Launcher Interface Computer is fitted. This computer is used to pre-program the HARM missile with the bearing and range of the target before launch, so that the HARM will be able to reach the vicinity of the target The Block 50/52 also introduced the Texas Instruments AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System pod which eanbles the F-16 to locate and identify enemy emitters, which makes it possible for the aircraft to operate as an independent Wild Weasel SEAD aircraft. Although the Block 30 F-16C could carry the HARM as well, these aircraft lacked the electronics and the load carring ability to fully exploit the weapon. With the advent of the ASQ-213 HARM targeting system, the Block 50/52 can act as a truly effective SEAD aircraft, filling the gap left by the retirement of the F-4G. The USAF has unofficially adopted the designation F-16CJ for the HARM-capable Block 50/52 F-16C.
The aircraft features full integration for the advanced AGM-88 HARM II and Shrike anti-radiation missiles, a Lockheed Martin Pave Penny laser ranger pod and the Texas Instruments (now Raytheon) AN/ASQ-213 HTS (HARM Targeting System). The pod is mounted on the starboard intake hardpoint and contains a super-sensitive receiver that detects, classifies, and ranges threats and passes the information to the HARM and to the cockpit displays. With the targeting system, the F-16CJ/DJ has full autonomous HARM capability. The HTS pod can be omitted however - in that case, RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft support the F-16 in sorting and prioritizing targets in dense threat environments. Two HARM missiles are normally carried on a typical SEAD mission.
The Block 50/52 was also capable of carrying the new Northrop AGM-137 Tri-Service Stand-Off Attack Missile (TSSAM) stand-off attack missile, but this was cancelled in December of 1994.
The Block 50/52 carries the Lockheed Martin (formerly Loral) AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver which replaces the ALR-69 on earlier F-16 versions. The presence of this unit can be identified by the presence of can-like antennae on the wing leading edge. The AN/ALR-56M has been retrofitted into all USAF F-16C/Ds. The block 50/52 also carries the improved AN/ALE-47 Group A chaff/flare dispenser system. However, the Block 50/52 F-16s are not LANTIRN-capable, and they have the old-style Block 30 heads-up display.
The first Block 50 F-16 was delivered to the USAF in November of 1991. Over 300 have been delivered by early 1997, to four different customers. New production Block 50/52 aircraft ordered after 1996 also include selected features from the MLU program: color multifunction displays, a three-channel video tape recorder, and the modular mission computer. All but the earliest Block 50 models have been upgraded to Block 50D standards. Block 50 aircraft wered to delivered to the USAF, plus the air forces of Turkey, Greece, and Chile, whereas Block 52 aircraft went to the the USAF, plus the air forces of South Korea, Singapore, Greece, Poland, and Israel. 01-7053 (a Block 50 aircraft) was last of 2231 F-16s built for USAF and was delivered Mar 25, 2005. Subsequent F-16 deliveries were exclusively for foreign customers.
The Block 50/52 Plus is a version which has special provisions for the adverse weather delivery of the Boeing JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition). The update includes an add-on tail unit containing a synthetic aperture radar, providing guidance to 1,000lbs Mk.83, 2,000lbs Mk.84 and the 2,000lbs BLU-109 warhead. Other features include passive missile warning, terrain-referenced navigation, and provisions for the 600 US gal (2,271 litre) external fuel tanks and conformal fuel tanks. Other features of the aircraft include an on-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS), the AN/APX-113 advanced electronic interrogator/transponder IFF system, helmet-mounted cueing system (HMCS), ASPIS internal electronic countermeasures suite (full provisions), the Northrop Grumman APG-68(V)9 radar, which is the latest version of the F-16C/D radar. This radar features significant improvements in detection range, resolution, growth potential, and supportability. Furthermore, application of advanced processing techniques enhances the radar's ability to operate in dense electromagnetic environments and resist jamming better than all previous models. The V(9) version of the AN/APG-68 radar provides both improved air-to-air capabilities and air-to-ground capabilities. In general, this radar offers a 5X increase in processing speed and 10X increase in memory compared to the current AN/APG-68 radar and provides large growth potential.
On December 9, 1992, it was announced that Lockheed had bought out the Fort Worth Division of General Dynamics for 1.525 billion dollars in cash. The plant would henceforth be known as the Lockheed Fort Worth Company. This marked the end of production of complete aircraft by General Dynamics, the remaining elements of the company now being involved only in the manufacture of submarines, the M1A1 tank, airliner components, missiles, space systems, and electronics. The manufacture of the F-16 would, however, still continue at Fort Worth, with the aircraft now being known as the Lockheed F-16.
