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. These include: ¥ 30 percent increase in detection range; ¥ Improvements in false alarm rate and mutual interference; ¥ Four versus two tracked targets in the Situation Awareness mode (a search-while-track mode); ¥ Larger search volume and improved track performance in Track While Scan mode; ¥ Improved track performance in Single Target Track mode; ¥ Two-foot resolution in new Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mode, which allows autonomous delivery of precision, all-weather, standoff weapons; ¥ Increased detection range in Sea Surveillance mode; ¥ Improved target detection and map quality in Ground Moving Target Indication mode.
