¿ Los F-16 marroquies tienen IRST y MIDS ?
al hilo del anuncio/desarrollo de un radar AESA, (bueno, ahora la noticias es de componentes, no del sistema integro)
¿Que se hace con los radares quitados?. ¿Se ofrecen a otros aviones?, ¿se desguazan?, ¿se puede reutilizar parcialmente?

The Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) has launched the first studies to develop the new F4 standard for the Dassault Rafale fighter [alguna cosa estará lista en 2023 pero hasta 2024 no se certifica completa y no está lista hasta 2025]... The standard is scheduled to qualify by 2024... The new standard has four pillars... Secondly, DGA is seeking to improve the capabilities of the sensors used on Rafale; The RB2E radar will be able to detect on-ground mobile targets;... DGA also wants to equip pilots with a helmet-mounted visual system.

Improved capability for Typhoon fleet
Under the programme known as Retrofit 2 [R2], 43 Royal Air Force Typhoon aircraft have been upgraded to the Tranche 1 Block 5 standard.

This includes installation of the forward looking infra-red (FLIR) system, enhancement of air-to-air capability, the introduction of an air-to-surface capability and the ability to use the laser designator pod for precision weapon delivery.... Over the last six years...

Kuwait enhances fighter force
12 November 2012
...
At the same time, Kuwait continues to explore the possibility of acquiring new fighters to replace its two squadrons of F/A-18s (No.s 9 and 25 at Ahmed Al Jaber airbase), and recently evaluated a pair of Italian air force Eurofighter Typhoons from the 4° Stormo that were deployed to Kuwait during July.
Despite very high ambient temperatures (reportedly 53°C) and high winds (40mph), the Typhoon impressed, though some of the industry personnel involved were surprised at the Kuwaiti emphasis on the carriage and delivery of dumb bombs.
Kuwaiti interest in a new fighter began a few years ago and then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that discussions had begun on the sale of between 14 and 28 Rafales during his visit to the Gulf in February 2008. But, in March 2010, the proposed Rafale buy was derailed

F-35 not only jet that meets stealth needs, top general says

Chief of defence staff [Tony Lawson] contradicts defence minister in Commons committee testimony
Boeing's Super Hornet and the Eurofighter Typhoon have been suggested as alternatives to Lockheed Martin's F-35, which until now appeared to be the only fighter jet Canada was considering.
Canada's new chief of defence staff, Gen. Tom Lawson, has been on the job for only a month. The former fighter pilot told MPs on Thursday that not only the F-35, but also other fighter jets offer some of the stealth capabilities the military needs.
...
"There are countries around the world flying the [other aircraft with stealth capabilities] to great success these days," Lawson told MPs on Thursday.
...
"Fourth and fifth generation is not a very helpful way of looking at that aircraft," Lawson told reporters in a scrum after his testimony.

Los arrancadores de Quatripole permitirán despegar antes al Eurofighter
03 de diciembre de 2012
Se trata de unos equipos punteros que, a diferencias de otros de los que disponía Aire, permiten alcanzar muy rápido el caudal y la presión que sus aviones necesitan para despegar. ¿Su secreto? Su tecnología de arranque neumático, accionado por turbina de gas, de simple etapa lo que les hace ser capaces de suministrar la potencia necesaria a aeronaves que precisen de caudales de arranque de hasta 204 ppm -partes por millón- a una presión máxima de 56 psia -libra-fuerza por pulgada cuadrada- y una temperatura máxima de 215 ºC.
Entre sus novedades, destacan que pueden utilizarse en dos modos distintos, modo "Jet Start" en la que la aeronave recibe la potencia neumática necesaria para el arranque y en modo "Air Pack" en el que se suministra aire acondicionado al sistema de control ambiental (ECS) del avión. En el caso del Eurofighter, gracias al uso de este equipo se evitará emplear el que tiene el avión para similar fin, alargando su vida útil. Además, el arrancador de Quatripole sólo requieren mantenimiento 'on condition' -correctivo-, lo que también supone un ahorro.
El arrancador de Quatripole ha sido probado con éxito tanto en aviones de combate Eurofighter (Ala 14), como en los EF 18 (Ala 12) y en el avión de transporte Boeing 707 (Grupo 47).

The first vertical tail fin to be built in Abu Dhabi for an ATR regional airliner has been delivered by Strata from its factory in Al Ain.
...
The completion also confirms the Mubadala-owned aerostructures company as a direct supplier to Alenia Aermacchi, which makes the highly successful ATR turboprop.
Indeed, the Alenia Aermacchi contract could lead to potential work on the Eurofighter project, should the UAE Air Force select it as its next-generation strike aircraft, said Maurizio De Mitri, the senior vice president of the Italian planemaker.
