台北，1月5日（CNA）
台湾新服役的 F-16V
周三首次在嘉义空军基地进行“大象漫步”，
展示空军在接到通知后立即发射战备战机的能力。
在锻炼过程中，
共有 12 架 F-16V 在跑道上排成一列，向媒体成员公开展示。
这 12 架战斗机是新服役的 F-16V 战斗中队的一部分
2021 年 11 月，驻扎在台湾南部嘉义县的空军第 4 战术战斗机联队。
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
