Meet the F-16 Block 70/72 – the newest and most advanced F-16 equipped with new capabilities based on the advanced F-16V configuration. It provides a new aircraft structure that lasts 50% longer than previous production F-16 aircraft. The proven F-16 offers advanced interoperable capabilities that enhance partnerships with allies. Its affordable lifecycle cost allows the F-16 to remain the best value among 4th generation jets.New production F-16s leverage structural and capability upgrades that ensure the international F-16 fleet can operate to 2060 and beyond. The F-16 Block 70/72 combines capability upgrades, most notably the advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar with a new avionics architecture, and structural upgrades to extend the structural life of the aircraft by more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft. F-16 Block 70 software takes advantage of technologies not available when earlier Block F-16s were developed and produced. Operational capabilities are enhanced through an advanced datalink, targeting pod and weapons; precision GPS navigation and the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS).
