The F-16Vs are former F-16A/Bs upgraded as part of a program launched by the Air Force in 2016.
The program included the retrofitting of 141 F-16 A/Bs into F-16Vs,
which are equipped with more advanced avionics,
including APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar,
a Helmet Mounted Cueing System,
and other flight management
and electronic warfare systems.
According to the Air Force,
an “elephant walk”is a U.S. Air Force term for the taxiing of military aircraft right before takeoff, when they are in close formation.
the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
the JHMCS provides the pilot with “first look, first shoot” high off-boresight weapons engagement capabilities.
The system enables the pilot to acquire
critical information, such as targeting cues and aircraft performance parameters displayed directly on the pilot’s visor,
without the need to check the Head-Up Display (HUD) as they used to, Yen said.
According to the Air Force,
a high-tech helmet installed with the cutting edge system costs NT$10 million (US$362,233).CNA
